About Proton VPN Subscriptions

Proton VPN Plus ($9.99/mo or $4.99/mo annually) offers high-speed VPN with servers in 65+ countries, no-logs policy, and Tor over VPN. Free plan available with no data limit. This guide covers these ways to cancel: Proton Account.

Before You Cancel Proton VPN

Before cancelling, check a few things: which platform you subscribed on (App Store, Google Play, or the website directly), since you must cancel in the same place you signed up. If you subscribed on the website, cancelling through your iPhone Settings won't work — and vice versa.

Also note your next billing date. Proton VPN doesn't delete your account when you cancel — you keep access until the period ends. Check the refund and fee details above before you cancel: some plans, especially annual contracts, charge an early-termination fee, and most services do not refund unused days.

Can I Resubscribe After Cancelling?

Usually yes — log back in and choose a new plan. How long Proton VPN keeps your data after cancellation depends on its own policy, so check its help pages if you plan to come back.

What If I Can't Find the Cancel Button?

Some services intentionally bury the cancel option. Follow the exact steps above — if you still can't find it, check that you're logged into the correct account (some people have multiple accounts). You can also contact Proton VPN support by chat or email and ask them to cancel; keep the confirmation message until the next billing date has passed.
