Where you cancel depends on where you signed up!
If you subscribed through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, you must cancel through that store — not through Fitbit directly. If you signed up on fitbit.com, cancel through the website or app. Canceling in the wrong place means you'll keep getting charged. Also, Fitbit is now part of Google, so your account may be linked to your Google ID.
Method 1: Cancel via Fitbit App or Website
Use this method if you subscribed directly through Fitbit (not through an app store).
Open the Fitbit app or go to fitbit.com
Launch the Fitbit app on your phone, or open a browser and navigate to fitbit.com. Sign in with your Fitbit/Google account credentials.
Tap your profile picture
In the Fitbit app, tap your profile picture (or avatar) in the top-left corner. On the website, click your name or account icon and go to Settings.
Find "Manage Subscription"
Look for Manage Subscription or Fitbit Premium in your account settings. Tap it to see your current plan details, billing date, and cancellation option.
Tap "Cancel Subscription" and confirm
Tap Cancel Subscription. Fitbit may ask why you're leaving and offer a discounted rate. If you're set on canceling, decline the offer and confirm your cancellation. You'll keep access until the end of your current billing period.
Method 2: Cancel via Apple App Store (iPhone)
Open Settings on your iPhone
Go to your iPhone Settings app, then tap your name at the very top of the screen to access your Apple ID.
Tap Subscriptions
Tap Subscriptions to see a list of all your active and expired subscriptions. Find Fitbit Premium in the list and tap on it.
Tap Cancel Subscription and confirm
Tap Cancel Subscription (or Cancel Free Trial if you're still in a trial). Confirm when prompted. Your access continues until the end of the current billing period.
Method 3: Cancel via Google Play Store (Android)
Open Google Play Store
Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device. Tap your profile icon in the top-right corner.
Go to Payments & subscriptions
Tap Payments & subscriptions, then tap Subscriptions. Find Fitbit Premium in your active subscriptions list.
Tap Cancel subscription and confirm
Tap Cancel subscription, select a reason if prompted, and confirm. You'll keep Premium access until the end of your current billing cycle.
What Happens After You Cancel Fitbit Premium?
Your Fitbit device keeps working normally
Your Fitbit tracker or smartwatch continues to track steps, heart rate, sleep, and exercise without Premium. The device itself doesn't need a subscription to function — Premium is just for extra insights.
You lose advanced health metrics and workouts
Premium features like the Daily Readiness Score, detailed sleep analysis, wellness reports, guided video/audio workouts, and advanced health insights will become locked. You'll still see your basic daily stats.
Free trial users: cancel before the trial ends
If you're on a free trial that came with your Fitbit device, set a reminder to cancel before the trial expires. Otherwise, you'll be automatically charged $9.99/month. Canceling early doesn't cut the trial short — you keep access until it ends.
Your historical data stays in your account
All your tracking data, history, and achievements remain in your Fitbit account. If you resubscribe to Premium later, your advanced insights will have all your historical data to work with.
Before You Cancel: Alternatives to Consider
Switch to Annual Plan
If you like Premium but $9.99/month feels steep, the annual plan at $79.99/year saves you about $40 per year. That works out to $6.67/month instead.
Use Free Features
Fitbit's free tier still offers solid step tracking, heart rate, basic sleep data, and exercise logging. You might not miss Premium as much as you think — try going without it for a month.
Check Google One Bundle
Since Fitbit is now part of Google, some Google One plans include Fitbit Premium as a bundled perk. If you already pay for Google storage, you might get Premium for free.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Fitbit features are free after canceling Premium?
After canceling, you keep basic step tracking, heart rate monitoring, sleep tracking (basic), exercise logging, food logging, and notifications. You lose the Daily Readiness Score, advanced sleep analysis, guided workouts, wellness reports, mindfulness sessions, and personalized health insights.
Is Fitbit Premium now part of Google?
Yes. Google completed its acquisition of Fitbit and has been integrating Fitbit into the Google ecosystem. Your Fitbit account may be linked to your Google account, and some features are merging with Google Fit. The cancellation process remains the same through the Fitbit app or whichever store you originally subscribed through.
Will I get a refund when I cancel Fitbit Premium?
Fitbit does not typically issue prorated refunds. Your access continues until the end of the current billing period. If you subscribed through Apple or Google, their respective refund policies apply — you can request a refund through those platforms, but approval isn't guaranteed.
Does my Fitbit watch still work without Premium?
Absolutely! Your Fitbit device works perfectly without a Premium subscription. Step counting, heart rate monitoring, exercise tracking, basic sleep data, notifications, and alarms all continue to work. Premium is purely for additional software insights and content.
How do I know where I subscribed to Fitbit Premium?
Check your email for the original subscription confirmation. If it came from Apple, it was through the App Store. If from Google, it was Google Play. If from Fitbit directly, it was through their website. You can also check your iPhone Subscriptions settings or Google Play subscriptions to see if Fitbit appears there.
