Common mistakes

Cancelling in the wrong place

Many users try to cancel on Shudder's website when their subscription is billed through Apple, Google, Amazon, or Roku.

If the subscription was purchased through a third party, you must cancel through that provider to stop future billing.

Waiting until after renewal

Waiting to cancel until after the renewal date often results in being charged for the next period and generally no prorated refund.

Always cancel before the renewal date and confirm you received a cancellation confirmation.
