How to Cancel Hatch Subscription in 2026? [Hatch+ Guide]
You bought a Hatch Rest or Restore to help your little one sleep better, started the free trial of Hatch+, and now you are seeing monthly charges. You are not alone.
Plenty of parents end up with an active Hatch subscription they no longer want or need. The good news is you can cancel Hatch subscription quickly once you know where it is managed.
This guide gives you the exact steps for every possible way Hatch+ is billed, whether through the website, iPhone, or Android. You will also learn what happens after you cancel and how to request a refund if you act fast.
What Is Hatch+ and Why Do People Cancel It?
Hatch+ is the premium subscription for Hatch sleep devices. It unlocks extra sleep stories, meditations, advanced soundscapes, and expert content marked with a star in the app.
The base features on your Hatch Rest or Restore still work without it. Many families cancel because:
- The free trial turned into a paid plan they forgot about
- They only needed the basic sounds and routines
- They want to save the monthly fee
- They are returning or no longer using the device
Knowing this helps you decide if canceling Hatch subscription makes sense for your family.
First Step: Check Where Your Hatch Subscription Is Managed
Before you cancel, confirm how you are being billed. This saves time and frustration.
- Go to www.hatch.co/my-hatch and log in with the email tied to your device.
- Or open the Hatch Sleep app and look for subscription details in your account settings.
- Check your email for the original welcome or trial confirmation email. It usually says whether you signed up through Hatch.co, Apple, or Google.
Once you know the source, follow the matching steps below.
How to Cancel Hatch Subscription on the Hatch.co Website
If your subscription is managed directly by Hatch:
- Visit hatch.co and click “My Account” in the top right.
- Log in with your account email and password.
- Click the blue “Manage” button next to your Hatch+ membership.
- Follow the prompts to cancel your subscription.
You should receive an immediate confirmation email. Save it for your records.
How to Cancel Hatch Subscription on iPhone or iPad (Apple App Store)
Most Hatch+ subscriptions run through Apple. You must cancel through your phone settings, not inside the Hatch app.
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
- Tap your name at the very top.
- Tap Subscriptions.
- Tap Hatch+ in the list.
- Scroll down and tap Cancel Subscription.
- Confirm your choice when prompted.
If you already see an expiration date in red, the subscription is already canceled and will end on that date.
How to Cancel Hatch Subscription on Android (Google Play)
- Open the Google Play Store app.
- Tap your profile icon in the top right.
- Tap Payments & subscriptions > Subscriptions.
- Select Hatch+.
- Tap Cancel subscription and follow the on-screen instructions.
Google will show you the exact date your access ends.
Pro Tip: Take a screenshot of the cancellation confirmation screen on whatever device you use. This simple step gives you proof if a charge appears later or you need to request a refund.
Real-Life Example
A mom of a 2-year-old in Austin, bought a Hatch Rest to help with bedtime routines. She started the free Hatch+ trial for the extra stories. Life got busy, and she completely forgot about it until a $9.99 charge hit her card.
She first tried canceling inside the Hatch app but found no option. After checking her email, she realized it was billed through Apple.
She followed the iPhone Settings steps above, canceled in under two minutes, and received a confirmation that access would end at the end of the current period.
She also contacted Apple Support through the same Subscriptions screen and received a full refund for the most recent charge because she acted quickly.
What Happens After You Cancel Hatch Subscription?
Once canceled, you lose access to all premium Hatch+ content (the starred sounds and stories). Your Hatch device will continue working normally with the free sounds, lights, and routines.
No need to delete the app or reset your device. Everything stays connected.
Common Mistake: Searching for a cancel button inside the Hatch Sleep app. The app does not control billing when your subscription comes from Apple or Google. Always go through your phone’s Settings or the Google Play Store instead. Trying the wrong place wastes time and can lead to another month of charges.
