How to Cancel Twitch Turbo & Subscriptions (2026 Guide) — Stop the Purple Money Drain

Updated 2026-02-24 · 6 min read

Between Twitch Turbo ($11.99/month), channel subscriptions ($5.99-24.99/month each), and gift subs, Twitch can quietly become one of your most expensive recurring charges. Some viewers spend $50-100+/month across multiple subscriptions without realizing it. Here's how to cancel everything.

Cancel Twitch Turbo

Go to twitch.tv/subscriptions
Sign in to your Twitch account
Find Twitch Turbo in your subscriptions
Click Cancel Subscription
Confirm — ad-free viewing continues until end of billing period

Cancel Channel Subscriptions

Go to twitch.tv/subscriptions
You'll see all your active channel subs
Click the ⚙️ gear icon next to each subscription
Click Don't Renew Subscription
Repeat for each channel you want to cancel

⚠️ The Multi-Sub Trap: Each channel subscription is separate. You might have 5-10 active subs to different streamers at $5.99 each = $30-60/month. Check your subscription page — you may have forgotten about channels you stopped watching months ago.

Cancel Through Mobile

Subscribed via iOS App

Open Settings → Your Name → Subscriptions
Find Twitch → Cancel
Note: iOS Twitch subs cost 30% more due to Apple tax. You may have been paying $7.99 instead of $5.99

Subscribed via Android

Open Google Play → Subscriptions
Find Twitch → Cancel

Twitch Turbo vs Ad Blockers

The main reason people get Twitch Turbo is ad-free viewing. But consider:

uBlock Origin (free browser extension) — Blocks most Twitch ads, though Twitch actively fights it
Alternate players (Chatterino, etc.) — Some bypass ads entirely
Amazon Prime sub — Your free monthly Prime sub to one channel also removes ads on that channel
Turbo ($11.99/mo) — The only guaranteed ad-free method across all channels. Worth it if you watch 3+ hours daily; expensive if you watch casually

Use Your Free Prime Sub

If you have Amazon Prime, you get one free channel subscription per month. Many people forget to use it or don't realize they have it:

Link your Amazon account to Twitch at gaming.amazon.com
Each month, subscribe to your favorite streamer for free
You must manually renew the Prime sub each month (it doesn't auto-renew)

The Bits & Donations Audit

While you're at it, check how much you're spending on Bits (Twitch's virtual currency):

100 Bits = $1.40 (Twitch takes 29% off the top)
Many viewers casually cheer 500-1000 Bits several times a month
Check your Twitch billing page for total Bits purchases
Some people are shocked to find they've spent $500-1,000+ on Bits over a year

💰 Twitch Spending Reality Check: Turbo ($12) + 3 subs ($18) + Bits ($20) = $50/month or $600/year on a free-to-watch platform. Upload your bank statement to JustCancel to see the total damage.
