Cancel ChatGPT from Settings on chatgpt.com: select your profile icon, open Settings, go to Billing and select Cancel under Cancel plan. It takes about a minute; access continues until the period ends, and OpenAI advises cancelling at least 24 hours before the billing date. Fees are non-refundable; EU, UK and Turkey residents get a prorated refund within 14 days of purchase.

OpenAI's AI assistant for chat, writing, coding, image generation and research, on the web and in iOS and Android apps. This guide covers every place the subscription can live - the website, the iPhone and iPad app, Google Play, and team plans - plus what happens to refunds, pausing and your data afterwards.
Use this if you subscribed on chatgpt.com and OpenAI bills you directly.
Go to chatgpt.com and log in with the account that holds the subscription. This path only works for subscriptions started on the website.
Select your profile icon, then select Settings.

Cancellation becomes effective the day after your next billing date. To avoid the next charge, cancel at least 24 hours before your billing date.
Use this if your receipt comes from Apple.
In the Settings app, tap your name. Apple manages App Store subscriptions, so cancellation happens in iOS settings, not in the ChatGPT app or website.
Select the ChatGPT subscription from the list of active subscriptions.
You might need to scroll down to find it; confirm in the pop-up. If there is no Cancel button or an expiration date shows in red text, it is already cancelled.
Apple charges your account 24 hours before the period ends, so cancel before that. Deleting your ChatGPT account on the web does not cancel an Apple-billed subscription.
Deleting your ChatGPT account does not cancel an Apple-billed subscription - only Apple can stop those charges.
Use this if your receipt comes from Google Play.
Make sure you are signed in with the Google account you used to subscribe. Uninstalling the ChatGPT app does not cancel the subscription.
Tap Menu, then Subscriptions, then choose ChatGPT.
Follow the instructions. On a computer, use the Google Play website: Manage on the ChatGPT subscription → Cancel subscription → pick a reason → Continue.
Google charges your account 24 hours before the period ends. Subscriptions started on chatgpt.com must be cancelled there, not in Google Play.
Uninstalling the app does not cancel anything; Google keeps charging until you cancel in Play.
The self-serve path covers ChatGPT Business. Enterprise and Edu plans are contract-managed and not covered by these steps.
Sign in with an account that can manage the Business workspace.

Workspace billing lives on its own tab.

Subscription fees are non-refundable, with documented exceptions: EU, UK and Turkey residents get a prorated refund when cancelling within 14 days of purchase, and accidental purchases are generally refundable if reported within 14 days. Web and Google Play refund requests go through the chat widget on help.openai.com while logged in (5–7 business days for web, about 10 for Play). Apple-billed purchases are refunded only by Apple.
After cancelling you keep paid features until the end of the billing period, then the plan simply does not renew. The free plan remains available with limited model access, messages, uploads and image generation. Paid-only features such as creating or editing custom GPTs stop working; cancelling does not delete your account or chat history.
No pause option is documented for ChatGPT. Google Play has a generic pause feature for Play-billed subscriptions, but OpenAI does not state it applies to ChatGPT.
Cancelling does not delete data: chats stay until you delete them, and deleted chats are hard-deleted within 30 days unless de-identified or legally retained. Deleting your OpenAI account removes your data within 30 days (limited legal exceptions), is permanent, and auto-cancels an OpenAI-billed subscription - but not an Apple or Google-billed one.
These verified routes also apply to ChatGPT.
The day after your next billing date, so you keep access until then. To avoid the next charge, cancel at least 24 hours before your billing date.

No. OpenAI does not support annual billing for Go, Plus or Pro. ChatGPT Business does offer annual per-seat billing.
Apple, Google and chatgpt.com each manage their own subscriptions. Starting a new one on a second platform without cancelling the first creates duplicate charges - cancel each on the platform where it was bought.
