GravityHow to cancel Spotifyfree trial before you're charged
Spotify free trials automatically convert to paid subscriptions at $11.99/month when the trial ends. A common mistake is deleting the app — that does NOT cancel your subscription. You must cancel through your account settings before the trial window closes.
⚠ Cancel at least 24 hours before your trial ends. Some services process renewals early and won't refund charges that have already cleared.
