How to Cancel iA Writer in 2026
Updated February 2026 • Difficulty: Easy
✅ Good News: iA Writer is a one-time purchase, not a subscription. Mac: $49.99, iOS: $49.99, Windows: $49.99. Once you buy it, you own it forever with no recurring charges.
Why You Might See Recurring Charges
If you see recurring charges labeled "iA" or "iA Writer," check these:
- iA Presenter — iA's presentation app may have different pricing
- App Store subscription — some app store regions may list it as a subscription
- SetApp — if you use SetApp ($10/mo), iA Writer is included and the charge comes from SetApp, not iA
Cancel via App Store Subscriptions
iPhone/iPad:
- Settings → tap your name
- Subscriptions
- Find iA Writer or iA Presenter → Cancel
Mac:
- App Store → click your name
- Account Settings → Subscriptions → Manage
- Cancel if listed

💡 Why iA Writer is Worth Keeping: If you already own iA Writer, it's one of the few apps that truly respects the "buy once, own forever" model. No AI upsells, no subscription creep, no data mining. In a world of rising software subscriptions, that's increasingly rare.
