Cancel on Android

1. Open Google Play, tap your profile icon, then Payments and subscriptions, then Subscriptions.

ChatGPT Business (Team) and Enterprise workspaces

Workspace plans are cancelled by an admin, not by individual members: Settings, then your workspace name, then Billing, then manage the plan there. Removing a member frees the seat but does not stop billing on its own.

The gotchas that trip people up

• Deleting the app or your account does not cancel billing. Apple and Google subscriptions keep charging until cancelled in the store.
• Web and store subscriptions are separate. If you cannot find a cancel button in Settings, you almost certainly subscribed through Apple or Google.
• Cancel before the renewal date. OpenAI does not refund partial months; access runs to the end of the paid period either way.
• Stuck without a cancel button? Use the help chat on help.openai.com and ask for written confirmation of cancellation.

Why people actually cancel

Three reasons come up over and over in the threads complaining about this:

• Subscription fatigue. You are paying for ChatGPT plus one or two other AI tools and the bills stack up past $60 a month.
• A new model came out somewhere else. A new Claude or Gemini or Grok release lands and your $20 only buys you one lab's models.
• You needed more than chat. Image, video, voice, documents: enough separate jobs that you are juggling tools anyway.

If that is why you are leaving

If the reason is cost or juggling, the answer is not another single-model subscription, it is consolidation. Krater Pro is $20 a month and includes the GPT models plus 400+ others (Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek), image and video generation, voice mode, and document work in one workspace. Browse the full model list. Teams get 5 seats on Max for $119 flat instead of per-seat billing.

If the reason is that you simply stopped using it, cancel and pocket the $20. Free ChatGPT still covers occasional questions, and Krater's guest mode does too.
