How to Cancel Microsoft Copilot Pro in 2026

Microsoft Copilot Pro costs $20/month ($240/year) — on top of your Microsoft 365 subscription. For most people, the free Copilot does everything they need. Here's how to cancel and what you actually lose.

How to Cancel Copilot Pro (Step by Step)

Go to account.microsoft.com/services
Sign in with your Microsoft account
Find Copilot Pro in your subscriptions list
Click Manage
Click Cancel subscription
Follow the prompts to confirm (Microsoft may offer a discount — decline if you've decided)

Your Copilot Pro access continues until the end of your current billing period. After that, you drop back to free Copilot automatically.

Free Copilot vs. Copilot Pro: What You Actually Lose

Priority access during peak hours: Free users get queued when demand is high. In practice, this rarely causes noticeable delays
Copilot in Office apps: The main Pro feature — AI assistance in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneNote. This goes away without Pro and a Microsoft 365 subscription
GPT-4 Turbo access: Pro guarantees GPT-4 Turbo for complex queries. Free Copilot may use GPT-4 or GPT-3.5 depending on load
DALL-E 3 image generation boosts: Pro gets more daily image generations. Free users get a limited number
Copilot GPTs: Create custom Copilot agents. Nice to have, not essential for most people

💡 Reality check: Unless you heavily use AI inside Word/Excel/PowerPoint every day, the free Copilot at copilot.microsoft.com handles chat, web search, and image generation just fine. The $20/month is really for the Office integration.

Better Alternatives (Free or Cheaper)

ChatGPT Free: GPT-4o access, image generation, web browsing — $0
ChatGPT Plus: $20/month — more usage limits, GPT-4, Advanced Data Analysis. Same price as Copilot Pro but more capable
Claude (free tier): Excellent for writing and analysis — $0
Google Gemini: Free tier is solid for general AI tasks. Advanced is $20/month
Perplexity: Free for AI-powered search with citations. Pro is $20/month

The AI Subscription Stack Problem

Many people are now paying for multiple AI subscriptions without realizing the overlap:

Copilot Pro: $20/month
ChatGPT Plus: $20/month
Claude Pro: $20/month
Gemini Advanced: $20/month
Perplexity Pro: $20/month

That's potentially $100/month on AI tools that largely do the same thing. Pick one that fits your workflow and cancel the rest. If you live in Microsoft Office, Copilot Pro might be worth it. If you don't, it probably isn't.

If You Subscribed Through the App Store

If you signed up via Apple's App Store or Google Play:

iPhone/iPad: Settings → tap your name → Subscriptions → Copilot Pro → Cancel
Android: Google Play → Menu → Subscriptions → Copilot Pro → Cancel

You must cancel through the same platform where you subscribed. Microsoft can't cancel an Apple-billed subscription, and vice versa.
