Do you have one streaming service too many? While you’re far from alone in that, sometimes it’s worth saying goodbye to one and saving some cash. Take Paramount+, which starts at $8 per month for its ad-supported Essential plan. Then there’s its ad-free Premium plan, coming in at $13 a month.
If you’re not really using it, or just can’t justify the cost, canceling your Paramount+ subscription is pretty easy. Plus, Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales are right around the corner if you change your mind. Paramount+ has run significant deals for both in recent years.
In the meantime, here’s everything you need to know about canceling your subscription through Paramount+ or third-party providers like Apple or Google.

Can I pause my subscription?
No, there’s no option as of yet to pause your Paramount+ subscription. If you want to cancel it then just do so and rejoin when the time is right — or a better deal is available.
What happens after you cancel
The good news is that your subscription won’t end immediately. If you’re in a free trial then your access to Paramount+ will remain until the trial period ends. Similarly, paid subscribers will lose the ability to use Paramount+ at the end of the current billing period. Notably, if you’ve used a multi-month promotion, your subscription will still stop at the end of your current billing period.
