Cancellation Deezer: Easy Method

What is Deezer

Service overview

Deezer is a music-streaming service that provides on-demand access to millions of tracks on a freemium and paid subscription model.

The paid tiers add ad-free playback, offline downloads and higher-quality audio depending on the plan.

Where it's used

Deezer is available globally and accessible via web, desktop and mobile apps, and through some mobile operators as a bundle.

In South Africa, some users subscribe directly and others receive Deezer through telco bundles such as Vodacom.

How to cancel Deezer

Cancel within the Deezer app or website

• Open the Deezer app or go to your Deezer account on the website.
• Go to Favorites → Settings → Manage my account → Manage my subscription → Cancel my subscription.
• Follow the on-screen confirmation; access typically continues until the end of the current billing period.
• General step guide reference: Postclic cancellation guide.

Cancel when billed by a third party (Google Play, App Store, Vodacom)

• Google Play (Android): Open Google Play → Menu → Subscriptions → Select Deezer → Cancel subscription. Google handles billing.
• App Store (iOS): Open iOS Settings → tap Apple ID → Subscriptions → Deezer → Cancel Subscription. Apple handles billing.
• Vodacom bundle: Contact Vodacom customer care or use the Vodacom subscription portal to manage or cancel a Vodacom‑billed Deezer plan.
• See Vodacom terms for telco bundles: Vodacom Deezer terms.

What happens when you cancel

Access and billing

When you cancel directly with Deezer or via an app store, you usually retain access to premium features until the end of the current billing period.

If billed by Google, Apple or a telco, the third party's billing cycle and rules determine access after cancellation.

Account data and reactivation

Your account and saved content (playlists, favorites) generally remain tied to your account for reactivation.

Deleting an account is a separate action from cancelling a subscription and may require additional steps in the Deezer help pages.

Will I get a refund?

Deezer's standard policy

Deezer's general policy does not guarantee refunds after cancellation and commonly takes a no-refund stance, especially for annual plans.

Their terms indicate the right of withdrawal may be waived once the subscription starts.

Exceptions and third-party billing refunds

• Google Play purchases: refund requests should be made through Google Play's "Report a problem" mechanism and are subject to Google's time limits (often a short window).
• App Store purchases: refunds are handled by Apple through its refund process; Deezer does not manage App Store refunds directly.
• Telco-bundled plans (Vodacom): billing and refund queries for Vodacom bundles must be handled with Vodacom per their terms.
• For more on Deezer terms and withdrawal waiver: Deezer terms summary.

Your consumer rights in South Africa

Cooling-off and refunds under local law

Under South African consumer law there is commonly a seven-day cooling-off right for services, allowing cancellation and a full refund (minus direct costs) within that period.

Refunds are typically required to be processed within 30 days of a valid cancellation claim.

How this interacts with Deezer's terms

Deezer's terms indicate an immediate waiver of the right of withdrawal once service starts, which can limit entitlement to statutory cooling-off in practice.

If you believe a local consumer-rights breach has occurred, gather evidence and contact the billing party (Deezer, Apple, Google or your telco) first, then seek local consumer advice if unresolved.

Customer experiences

Positive feedback

Some users praise Deezer's HiFi sound quality and the platform's design and branding.

Artist-side reports note the artist profile claim process can be smooth for some creators.

Negative feedback

Common complaints include slow or poor customer service, refusal to refund, and unexplained charges after cancellation in some reports.

Users also report app stability issues, problems with downloads, and dissatisfaction with recommendation or AI‑tagging features. See user reviews: Trustpilot (IE) and Trustpilot.

Documentation checklist

Before you cancel

• Account email and username tied to your Deezer account.
• Payment method used (credit card, Google Play, Apple ID or Vodacom billing).
• Subscription start date and next renewal date.

If you request a refund or dispute a charge

• Order/transaction reference or receipt screenshots.
• Confirmation screenshots of cancellation steps taken and timestamps.
• Any correspondence with support (emails, chat transcripts).

Common mistakes

Not verifying who bills you

A frequent error is cancelling in the Deezer app while your subscription is billed through Google, Apple or Vodacom, which does not stop third-party renewals.

Always confirm the billing source (Deezer, Google Play, App Store, or your telco) before cancelling.

Missing timing and evidence

Failing to note dates and keep screenshots leaves you without proof if a charge occurs after cancellation.

Also, expecting an automatic refund when Deezer's terms or the third-party billing rules do not guarantee one is a common cause of disappointment.

Comparative recap

After cancelling

What to expect

Expect premium access to continue until your current paid period ends unless your billing party states otherwise.

Keep confirmation screenshots and check your next bank or card statement to ensure no further renewals occur.
