How to Cancel Your Grammarly Subscription (2026)

Before You Cancel: Check What Plan You're On

Grammarly offers two paid tiers:

• Grammarly Premium — individual plan (~$12–$30/month depending on billing cycle)
• Grammarly Business — team plan

Canceling both follows a similar process. Annual plans are charged upfront; monthly plans recur each month.

If You Subscribed Through Apple (iPhone/iPad)

If you signed up for Grammarly through the App Store, you must cancel through Apple — Grammarly's website won't control your billing:

1. Settings → [Your Name] → Subscriptions
2. Find Grammarly in the list
3. Tap Cancel Subscription → Confirm

What Stays, What Goes

After canceling Grammarly Premium:

• Your documents, writing history, and account remain intact
• You revert to the free tier (Grammarly Free) — basic spelling and grammar checks continue to work
• Advanced suggestions (clarity, style, tone, plagiarism detection) disappear
• Grammarly's browser extension keeps working — at free tier capability

You don't lose your work. All documents saved in Grammarly remain in your account. You just lose the advanced editing features.

Grammarly's Refund Policy

Grammarly is generally not refund-friendly:

• Monthly plans: No refund once the period has started
• Annual plans: Refunds within 10 days of purchase only, if you haven't used the service
• Outside the 10-day window: No refund is typically offered

How to request a refund:

1. Contact Grammarly support at support.grammarly.com
2. Submit a ticket explaining the reason
3. For App Store purchases, use reportaproblem.apple.com instead — Apple's policies may be more flexible than Grammarly's direct policy

Is Grammarly Premium Worth the Cost?

Grammarly Premium is worth keeping if:

• You write professionally and client-facing documents require polish
• You're a non-native English speaker who benefits from clarity suggestions
• You use the plagiarism checker regularly

It's poor value if:

• You only write casual emails
• You already use an AI writing assistant (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.) for heavy editing
• You've been on the subscription for months and rarely open it

Free Alternatives to Grammarly Premium

For most casual writers, Grammarly Free combined with an AI assistant covers everything that previously required a Grammarly Premium subscription.

Canceling Grammarly Business

1. Sign in to grammarly.com
2. Go to Admin Panel → Billing
3. Click Cancel Subscription
4. If you're not the account admin, you'll need admin access to cancel

Team members losing Grammarly Business access revert to free tier usage on their individual accounts.

After Canceling

Log the cancellation in Gravity and update your monthly subscription total. If Grammarly was part of a tools budget at work, note the savings. Grammarly is one of the subscription services people most commonly pay for out of habit rather than active use — canceling it and switching to Grammarly Free is a common first step in a subscription audit.
