How to Cancel Speechify Subscription [Step by Step]
Speechify is a text-to-speech app from Speechify, Inc. It reads articles, PDFs, and other text out loud. The free plan is limited. Premium is the paid upgrade.
The public U.S. pricing page typically lists Premium at $29 a month. Yearly billing is often advertised at about 60% off, which commonly works out near $139 a year. Your checkout price may vary by offer, tax, or store.
The recurring charge usually shows up as Speechify, app.speechify.com, Apple, or Google Play. Deleting the Speechify app does not cancel the subscription. You still need to stop auto-renewal where you first subscribed.
This guide covers the website settings, Apple, Google, and the official refund limits.
What Is a Speechify Subscription and How Billing Works
Speechify Premium typically unlocks higher-quality voices, faster listening, more languages, and extra tools such as scan-and-listen. A free account can remain after you cancel. Paid features generally end when the current term ends.
Speechify bills monthly or yearly, depending on what you picked. Some help pages still describe Premium as an annual plan. The live pricing page also shows a monthly option. Check your receipt so you know which cycle you are on.
Who can cancel depends on the first purchase path.
- Website or in-account card billing is managed in Speechify settings.
- Apple App Store billing is managed in your Apple account.
- Google Play billing is managed in Google Play.
- A bundle partner manages its own plan.
Official payment terms point to those paths. They do not list carrier or phone-bill billing as a standard option.
Look at the statement name before you start. If it says Apple or Google, do not expect the Speechify website button to control that charge.
How to Cancel From Speechify Account Settings
Use this path if you entered a card on speechify.com or inside a Speechify web account.
- Sign in at app.speechify.com.
- Open your profile photo in the top right.
- Open Settings.
- Open the subscription tab. Official terms also point to app.speechify.com/settings?tab=subscription.
- Select Cancel Subscription.
- Confirm. Save a screenshot of the end date.
Official help says canceling stops the next charge and later charges. It does not erase a payment that already posted.
If you are in a free trial, cancel before the trial ends. That is how you typically avoid the first paid bill.
If the page says the plan is billed by Apple or Google, stop and use those store steps instead.
Canceling If Billed Through Apple or Google
On iPhone or iPad
- Open Settings.
- Tap your name, then tap Subscriptions.
- Tap Speechify.
- Tap Cancel Subscription and confirm.
Apple owns that recurring charge. Speechify’s refund policy says an App Store or iOS purchase is final on Speechify’s side. Ask Apple if you need a store refund.
On Android
- Open the Google Play Store app.
- Tap your profile picture.
- Tap Payments & subscriptions, then Subscriptions.
- Tap Speechify.
- Tap Cancel subscription and confirm.
Google Play manages that plan. Speechify says it will not refund a Google Play purchase. Use Google’s refund tools if you think the store should review it.
How to Cancel by Contacting Support
Email support if the Cancel button is missing, a trial converted anyway, or you need a documented cancel request.
Official refund pages tell you to submit a help desk request or email support@speechify.com. Speechify’s own site also lists help@speechify.com for general help. Include your account email, the last four digits of the card, the purchase date, and whether you used the website, Apple, or Google.
Speechify does not prominently publish a consumer cancel phone number on its official cancel, terms, or refund pages. Skip random numbers from ads or pop-ups.
If a bundle partner billed you, contact that partner. Speechify says those plans follow the partner’s rules.
What Happens After You Cancel
After you stop auto-renewal, Speechify generally will not bill that plan again. You typically keep Premium until the paid term ends. A canceled trial usually lasts until the trial end date.
Your library and free account usually remain. Premium voices and higher speeds typically drop off when access ends.
Canceling Speechify Premium does not always cancel a separate Speechify Audiobooks plan or another Speechify product. Check settings and your statement for a second recurring charge.
Requesting a Refund After Cancellation
Canceling and getting a refund are different steps. Official terms say unused days are generally not prorated. You keep the time you already paid for.
Speechify’s public refund policy is narrow.
- Contact them within 7 days of the subscription date, including a trial date, for a billing-error or fraud review.
- For an annual text-to-speech plan, they also describe a refund path if you used no more than 500 HD words and you write within 7 days of payment.
- They say they do not offer partial refunds after you have used the service during the cycle.
- Monthly, quarterly, and discounted plans are listed as non-refundable.
- Apple and Google purchases are listed as final with Speechify. Those stores use their own refund rules.
Email support@speechify.com from the same address on the account. State that you already canceled auto-renewal and attach the receipt. Do not promise yourself a refund. The written policy is limited.
Tips for a Smooth Cancellation
Cancel before the renewal date on your receipt, not after the charge posts.
If you started a 3-day or other short trial, cancel the same day you sign up. Short trials convert quickly.
Take a screenshot of the canceled status. Some users report confusion when the app still shows Premium during the paid-through date.
Check PayPal automatic payments if you used PayPal on the website. Turning off the Speechify plan and the PayPal agreement together avoids a second bill path.
Keep the free app if you still want basic voices. You do not have to delete anything to unsubscribe.
Common Problems and Solutions
You canceled in the app, but Apple or Google still billed you. Mobile store plans cancel in Settings or Play Store, not only in Speechify.
The website has no Cancel button. You are likely on an Apple, Google, or partner plan. Open that account.
A yearly charge posted after a short trial. Canceling after the trial window is often too late for a refund. Still turn off auto-renewal so next year does not bill again. Then ask support only if you are inside the 7-day policy.
Support sends you to Apple, and Apple sends you back. That split is written into Speechify’s terms. Use the store that charged you for refunds. Use Speechify settings only for website billing.
You still see Premium features. That is normal until the current term ends. Check the expiration date in settings.
Another Speechify product is still charging you. Look for Audiobooks or a bundle on the same statement and cancel that plan separately.
FAQs About How to Cancel Speechify Subscription
Q: Does deleting the Speechify app cancel my subscription?
No. Removing the app only takes it off your phone. The recurring charge keeps billing until you cancel in Speechify settings, Apple Subscriptions, or Google Play.
Q: Can I cancel a Speechify free trial and stop auto-renewal?
Yes. Official help says you can cancel a Premium plan or trial in account settings, or in Apple or Google if that store billed you. Cancel before the trial end date to avoid the first paid charge. You typically keep trial access until that date.
Q: Will I get a refund if I cancel Speechify Premium mid-cycle?
Usually no. Speechify says it does not give partial refunds for unused days. A limited 7-day review may apply for certain website charges, unused annual use under 500 HD words, fraud, or a Speechify billing error. Apple and Google handle store refunds.
Q: Why is there still a recurring charge after I canceled Speechify?
The current month or year may still be active. Or a different seller billed you. Confirm the cancel status at app.speechify.com, in Apple Subscriptions, and in Google Play. Then compare that date with the statement.
Conclusion
You can cancel a Speechify subscription without deleting your account. Use Speechify settings for a website plan. Use Apple or Google if that store owns the recurring charge. Stop auto-renewal before the next date on your receipt.
Keep the confirmation and finish the paid period you already bought. That is the straightforward way to unsubscribe and avoid another Premium bill.
