How to cancel Windscribe

Price: 19.99 USD
Rating: 4.8 (50 reviews)
Author: Viral App Labs LLC

If you paid Windscribe directly, cancel on the web: My Account, then Billing, Manage Subscriptions, Cancel Subscription, confirm, and give a reason. Prepaid time stays usable to the end of the period. Subscriptions bought through Apple, Google Play or Amazon must be cancelled there. Refunds aren't self-serve — Windscribe's help article says 7 days, its Terms say 7 business days, both under 10 GB, via support.

Menus and labels can change. If the steps below don’t match what you see, use the official help link on this page.

Fast answer

Where to start with Windscribe

Open official help

Can you cancel online?: yes
Where to start: The Billing section of your My Account page on windscribe.com — sign in on the web rather than using the desktop or mobile app. If your plan was bought through Apple, Google Play or Amazon, start in that store instead.
Apple or Google billed?: Possible
Keeps access until: The end of the time you have already paid for. Windscribe's article \"Will my plan Expire if I cancel now?\" documents that prepaid time is added to the account and remains usable after cancellation — cancelling stops future rebilling only.
Contract / fees: No minimum term or commitment is documented. Windscribe states plans are subscription based and auto-renew using the original payment method, with crypto and PaymentWall payments noted as exceptions that do not renew on their own.

Step-by-step cancellation

These steps only appear when the flow was verified against an official provider or platform source.

Cancel a subscription billed by Windscribe (web)

1
Sign in and open your My Account page at windscribe.com/myaccount.
2
In the Billing section, click Manage Subscriptions.
3
On the Subscription Management page (windscribe.com/myaccount/subscriptions), find the subscription you want to end.
4
Click Cancel Subscription in the top right corner.
5
On the next page, press the Cancel Subscription button.
6
Enter your reason for cancelling when prompted, then select Yes Cancel.
7
Check that the cancellation confirmation page appears.
8
Separately, Windscribe's article "I have cancelled my subscription but I'm still being charged" warns that using an email unsubscribe link does not cancel billing — the cancellation must be completed on your account page, and if charges continue you should contact support at windscribe.com/contact-support.

Subscription billed by Apple (App Store)

1
Windscribe states that third-party payment and mobile subscriptions must be cancelled with those providers, and lists Apple as one.
2
On iPhone or iPad, open Settings, tap your name, then tap Subscriptions.
3
Select the Windscribe subscription and choose Cancel Subscription.
4
Refund requests for App Store purchases go to Apple, not Windscribe.

Subscription billed by Google Play

1
Windscribe states that third-party payment and mobile subscriptions must be cancelled with those providers, and lists Google Play as one.
2
Open the Google Play Store app and tap your profile icon, then Payments & subscriptions, then Subscriptions.
3
Select Windscribe and tap Cancel subscription.
4
Refund requests for Google Play purchases go to Google, not Windscribe.

Subscription billed by Amazon

1
Windscribe lists Amazon among the third-party providers whose subscriptions must be cancelled directly with the provider.
2
Open your Amazon account and go to the subscriptions or app-store subscriptions area for your device.
3
Select Windscribe and turn off renewal there.
4
Windscribe's own account page will not stop a subscription billed by Amazon, and Windscribe publishes a separate article explaining that it cannot issue Amazon refunds.

Request a refund inside the money-back window

1
Check the window before you ask: Windscribe's refund-policy help article says 7 days from your initial purchase, while its Terms of Use say 7 business days from your subscription start date. Both require that you have used less than 10 GB on the paid plan.
2
Note that only the original payment that started the subscription is refundable — renewals are not eligible.
3
Open a ticket at windscribe.com/contact-support, or start one through the Garry chatbot.
4
Give a detailed explanation of the technical issue. Windscribe's Terms state a refund is granted only if the issue cannot be resolved within a reasonable timeframe, so expect troubleshooting first.
5
Windscribe's Terms of Use state approved refunds are processed within 30 days.

Expect a retention offer

• A second confirmation screen appears after the first Cancel Subscription button
• You must type or select a reason for cancelling before the final Yes Cancel step
• Refunds cannot be self-served — Windscribe's Terms grant one only if the issue cannot be resolved within a reasonable timeframe, so support troubleshoots first
• Windscribe's own help centre notes that people mistake the email unsubscribe link for a cancellation, which leaves billing running
• The account-deletion control is labelled "Give Up On Privacy" rather than a neutral Delete Account

Common problems

Only official-source troubleshooting notes are included here.

What happens after you cancel?

Post-cancellation details like access, downgrade behavior, and refund caveats are shown only when the provider documents them.

Further payments stop — Windscribe documents this as the effect of cancelling.
Time you have already paid for stays on the account and remains usable, per Windscribe's article "Will my plan Expire if I cancel now?".
Cancelling does not delete your account. Windscribe's account-deletion article covers deletion only, under My Account in the Security section, and warns it is permanent and unrecoverable.
Renewal charges are not refundable — Windscribe's policy covers only the original payment that started the subscription.
If charges continue, Windscribe's article on still being charged asks you to confirm the cancellation on your account page rather than relying on an email unsubscribe link, then contact support.

Refund notes

Windscribe's two official pages give different windows: the refund-policy help article says 7 days from your initial purchase, while the Terms of Use say 7 business days from your subscription start date. Both condition the refund on having used less than 10 GB on the paid plan, and only the original payment that started the subscription is eligible — renewals are not. Refunds are not self-serve: you must open a support ticket at windscribe.com/contact-support or use the Garry chatbot, and the Terms state a refund is granted only if the issue cannot be resolved within a reasonable timeframe. The Terms also state approved refunds are processed within 30 days. Purchases billed by Apple, Google Play or Amazon are handled by those stores' own refund processes. Because the two Windscribe pages disagree, check the current policy before relying on either figure.

FAQ

Does cancelling Windscribe cut off my VPN access right away?

No. Windscribe's article "Will my plan Expire if I cancel now?" documents that prepaid time is added to your account and remains usable after you cancel. Cancelling stops future rebilling rather than ending the plan you have already paid for.

How long is Windscribe's money-back window?

Windscribe's two official pages differ. The refund-policy help article says 7 days from your initial purchase; the Terms of Use say 7 business days from your subscription start date. Both require that usage stays below 10 GB on the paid plan, and only the original payment that started the subscription qualifies — renewals are not refundable. The Terms state approved refunds are processed within 30 days. Check Windscribe's current policy before relying on either figure.

Can I get a Windscribe refund without contacting support?

No. Windscribe's refund article directs you to open a support ticket at windscribe.com/contact-support or use the Garry chatbot. Its Terms of Use add that a refund is granted only if the issue cannot be resolved within a reasonable timeframe, so expect troubleshooting first.

I cancelled Windscribe but I'm still being charged — what went wrong?

Windscribe's article "I have cancelled my subscription but I'm still being charged" points to one specific cause: using the email unsubscribe link instead of cancelling on your account page. Confirm the cancellation at windscribe.com/myaccount, and if charges continue, contact Windscribe support at windscribe.com/contact-support.

Does deleting my Windscribe account cancel the subscription?

Don't rely on it. Windscribe's account-deletion article covers deletion only and does not discuss subscriptions — the two procedures are documented separately. Deletion sits under My Account in the Security section, behind a button labelled "Give Up On Privacy", and Windscribe warns it is permanent and the account cannot be recovered. Cancel billing through Manage Subscriptions first.
