How to Cancel Google Nest Aware Subscription in 2026
Nest Aware costs $8-15/month ($96-180/year) just to view your camera history. Without it, your $100-330 Nest cameras become glorified live-view-only devices.
⚠️ Before You Cancel: Download any important video clips from your Nest app. Once you cancel, all stored video history is permanently deleted. You cannot recover it.
Cancel via Google Home App (Recommended)
- Open the Google Home app on your phone
- Tap Settings (gear icon)
- Tap Nest Aware
- Tap Cancel subscription
- Confirm cancellation
Cancel via Google Store
- Go to store.google.com
- Sign in with your Google account
- Go to Orders & subscriptions
- Find Nest Aware and click Manage
- Select Cancel subscription
If You Subscribed Through Apple/Google Play
Check your app store subscriptions — some users subscribed through the app store instead of Google directly. Cancel through Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions or Google Play > Subscriptions.
Nest Aware Plans Comparison
- Nest Aware ($8/mo or $80/yr) — 30 days of event video history
- Nest Aware Plus ($15/mo or $150/yr) — 60 days of event history + 10 days of 24/7 continuous recording
- No subscription (free) — 3 hours of event snapshots only, no video clips
What You Lose Without Nest Aware
- No video history — only 3 hours of still image snapshots
- No familiar face detection — cameras can't identify people
- No package detection — Nest Doorbell won't alert for deliveries
- No activity zones — can't set custom motion areas
- Live view still works
- Motion alerts still work (but with more false positives)
Better Alternatives (No Monthly Fees)
- Cameras with local storage: Reolink, Eufy, Wyze (microSD card) — no cloud subscription needed
- Eufy cameras ($40-100) — local storage + free cloud features, no monthly fee
- Wyze Cam ($20-50) — microSD recording + optional $1.99/mo Cam Plus
- Reolink ($30-80) — local NVR recording, no subscription required
💡 Pro Tip: If you cancel Nest Aware, consider selling your Nest cameras and buying Eufy or Reolink cameras instead. One-time purchase, no monthly fees, and they record locally to a microSD card. You'll save $96-180/year forever.
