Frequently Asked Questions
How do I cancel my Grammarly subscription?
You can cancel Grammarly through your account settings on their website or app. The process is rated "easy" difficulty and takes 5 steps. Your access typically continues until the end of your current billing period, so you won't lose access immediately after canceling.
Will I get a refund if I cancel Grammarly?
Most Grammarly plans do not offer prorated refunds for the current billing period. Your access continues until the end of the period you've already paid for.

Can I pause my Grammarly subscription instead of canceling?
Grammarly may offer a pause or hold option that temporarily suspends your subscription without canceling it entirely. This preserves your account data and settings. Check your account settings for a pause option — if one isn't available, you can cancel and resubscribe later, though some settings or data may not be preserved.
What happens to my data if I cancel Grammarly?
After canceling Grammarly, your account data is typically preserved but you may lose access to premium features. Export any important documents, data, or settings before canceling. Most productivity tools keep your data accessible on a free tier or for a limited time after cancellation.

Most services allow you to reactivate your account with your original email address, and your previous settings or data may still be available.
