Ready to cancel Audible? Here’s the quick, step-by-step way to do it on desktop — plus what to do with any leftover credits, and where to go next if you still want to listen.
How to cancel Audible (step by step)
- Go to Audible.com on a desktop browser and sign in (cancellation is easiest on web, not the app).
- Hover over your name in the top-right and open Account Details.
- Select Cancel Membership.
- Confirm through the prompts (Audible may offer to pause your membership or give a discount first).
- You’ll get a confirmation email once it’s done.
Before you cancel: use your credits
Any unused credits typically disappear when your membership ends, so spend them first. Audiobooks you’ve already redeemed are yours to keep forever, even after you cancel.
Still want to listen — for less?
If you’re leaving Audible because of the price, you don’t have to give up audiobooks. Audiobooks.com offers a free trial and a friendlier price for casual listeners, with a huge catalog. It’s a low-commitment way to keep your listening habit going.

Will I lose my audiobooks if I cancel Audible?
No — titles you’ve already purchased or redeemed stay in your library permanently. Unused credits, however, are usually forfeited.
Can I cancel from the app?
It’s much easier on a desktop browser; the mobile apps often hide or omit the cancellation option.
