Why Cancel Descript?
First off, you’re not alone. People cancel subscriptions for all sorts of reasons. Here are a few common ones:

What Happens After You Cancel?
Canceling doesn’t mean your projects disappear into the void. Here’s what to expect:
- You’ll keep access until the end of your current billing cycle.
- Your files and projects will still be stored (unless you delete them yourself).
- You can switch to the free plan if you still want some access without paying.
Descript makes it pretty painless!
Things to Keep in Mind
Before you click that cancel button, take a moment to think about these:
- Will you lose access to premium features? Yes, once your billing cycle ends.
- Do you have important files? Be sure to download or back them up.
- Was the subscription through Apple or Google Play? Then you’ll need to cancel it through those platforms instead!
No one likes surprises. Planning ahead makes the cancellation smoother.
