How to cancel ChinesePod

The trial, and plans that renew

During the 14-day trial

Premium starts with a 14-day trial. ChinesePod does not say whether the trial asks for a card or turns into a paid plan by itself, so check your subscription settings before it ends.

Monthly, quarterly and annual plans

Every plan renews by itself for another period of the same length until you cancel, so cancel before the renewal date if you do not want to pay again.

After you cancel

Your subscription stays active until the end of the period you paid for, and then does not renew.
After that you are on the free plan: every lesson still plays, with ads, and the notes and exercises are limited.
