So You Wanna Dance Off the Premium Price Tag? A (Mostly Painless) Guide to Ditching Spotify Premium
Hey music enthusiast, budget baller, or ex-lover of endless podcasts about artisanal cheese (no judgment). You've reached a crossroads.

| How To Cancel Spotify Premium Plan |
Step 1: Embrace the Inevitable.
Accept that your days of skipping tracks like a DJ possessed are numbered. Acknowledge the pang of losing those expertly curated playlists. But remember, freedom ain't free (usually, Spotify was), and sometimes, the greatest bangers come from unexpected sources, like that dusty karaoke machine in your basement.
QuickTip: The more attention, the more retention.
Step 2: Channel Your Inner Ninja (Spotify Account Edition).
Log in to your account like a digital spy on a mission. Navigate the labyrinthine menus with the grace of Lara Croft. Remember, Spotify's buried the "Cancel Premium" button deeper than Jimmy Hoffa's bones, but we'll unearth it together.
Tip: Highlight sentences that answer your questions.
Option A: The Desktop Detective.
- Click your name like you're summoning a genie.
- Select "Account" and prepare for a choose-your-own-adventure of pop-ups.
- Seek the holy grail: "Your plan."
- Click "Change plan" with the determination of a squirrel hoarding nuts for winter.
- Scroll past tempting upgrades like "Spotify Platinum: Includes a personal masseuse and a lifetime supply of kombucha."
- Behold! The oasis: "Cancel Premium." Click it like you're pressing the big red button to launch the rocketship to financial freedom.
Option B: The Mobile Mastermind.
Tip: Note one practical point from this post.

- Open the app, but resist the siren song of your Discover Weekly playlist.
- Tap the gear icon in the top right corner. You're basically Batman now.
- Select "Account" and prepare for a slightly less dramatic, but equally confusing, adventure.
- Find "Your plan" nestled amongst ads for dubious protein powders and dating apps for dog owners.
- Tap "Change plan" like you're about to crack the Da Vinci Code (it's not that hard, but hey, drama!).
- Scroll down, past the allure of ad-free podcasts about competitive tiddlywinks (seriously, is that a thing?).
- There it is, the key to your financial emancipation: "Cancel Premium." Tap it with the swagger of Indiana Jones retrieving the Ark of the Covenant.
Step 3: The Farewell Waltz.
Spotify will try to woo you back with promises of free trials and exclusive playlists. Stay strong! Remind yourself of the joy of discovering new music on YouTube rabbit holes, the thrill of unearthing forgotten gems on your dusty old MP3 player, and the satisfaction of blasting throwback jams without fear of judgment (or ads).
QuickTip: Focus on one paragraph at a time.
Congratulations, you've successfully ditched Spotify Premium! Now go forth and serenade the world with your budget-friendly tunes. Just remember, even without Spotify, the power of music lies within you (and maybe that karaoke machine).
P.S. If you find yourself missing those curated playlists, fear not! There are plenty of free alternatives out there. Just think of it as a musical treasure hunt! And who knows, you might even discover your inner DJ superstar along the way.
So crank up the volume, embrace the ad-filled future, and remember, sometimes, the best music is the one that sets your soul free (and doesn't drain your bank account).
