Cancel My Subscription
Overview
Subscriptions in Buy Nothing are optional and can be canceled at any time. Cancellation stops future renewals but does not remove access to the free features of the platform.
How to Cancel a Subscription in the App
Subscriptions can be managed directly from within the Buy Nothing app.
- Open the Buy Nothing app or website and sign in
- Tap the Settings option
- Under Subscriptions, tap Change Subscription Settings
This action redirects to the platform that manages the subscription payment.
Important Notes About Where You Subscribed
App Store Subscriptions (Apple or Google Play)
If the subscription was started through the Apple App Store or Google Play, billing is controlled entirely by those platforms. The Buy Nothing Project cannot cancel mobile app subscriptions on a user’s behalf.
To cancel:
-
Apple App Store (iPhone / iPad):
Settings → [Your Name] → Subscriptions → Select Buy Nothing → Cancel
-
Google Play (Android):
Play Store → Profile icon → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions → Select Buy Nothing → Cancel
If the Buy Nothing app account has been deleted, the subscription must still be canceled directly through the App Store or Google Play.
Web / Stripe Subscriptions
If the subscription was started through the Buy Nothing web app, the Change Subscription Settings link will open the Stripe-managed billing page where cancellation can be completed.
Uninstalling the App
Uninstalling or deleting the Buy Nothing app does not cancel a subscription. Subscriptions must be canceled through the billing platform where they were created.

Summary
Subscriptions can be canceled at any time through the Buy Nothing app by accessing Change Subscription Settings. Mobile app subscriptions must be canceled directly through Apple or Google, and uninstalling the app does not stop billing.
