How to Cancel Reddit Premium 2026 — Is $6/Month Worth It?

Updated March 2026 • 4 min read

Reddit Premium costs $6.99/month or $49.99/year for ad-free browsing, 700 monthly coins, and access to r/lounge. The ads on Reddit are easy to scroll past, the coins are nearly worthless, and r/lounge is a dead subreddit. This is one of the easiest cancellation decisions you'll make.

Why Reddit Premium Is Not Worth It

• Ad blockers exist: uBlock Origin (free browser extension) removes all Reddit ads — $0/month
• Reddit ads are minimal: Unlike YouTube pre-roll, Reddit ads are just promoted posts easily scrolled past
• Coins are useless: Reddit's award/coin system has been repeatedly changed and devalued
• r/lounge is dead: The "exclusive" subreddit for Premium members has almost no activity
• Third-party apps: Many Reddit clients offer cleaner ad-free experiences
• $84/year for scrolling: You're paying to scroll Reddit slightly more comfortably. That's it.

Free Alternatives to Ad-Free Reddit

• uBlock Origin: Free browser extension, blocks all Reddit ads on desktop
• old.reddit.com: Old Reddit design has fewer and less intrusive ads
• RES (Reddit Enhancement Suite): Free browser extension with filtering and customization
• Just scroll past: Reddit ads are clearly labeled "Promoted" — they take 0.5 seconds to skip
