Will I get a refund if I cancel Storytel?
Storytel generally does not offer refunds for partial billing periods. You will retain access to the service until your current billing cycle ends. If you just signed up and are within a free trial, canceling before the trial ends means you will not be charged at all.
Can I keep my bookmarks and progress after canceling?
Yes. Storytel retains your account data including bookmarks, reading progress, and listening history. If you resubscribe later, your progress will be waiting for you.
How do I cancel if I subscribed through the App Store or Google Play?
If you subscribed via Apple or Google, you must cancel through your device settings. On iPhone: Settings > Apple Account > Subscriptions > Storytel > Cancel. On Android: Google Play Store > Payments & subscriptions > Subscriptions > Storytel > Cancel.
Is Storytel available in my country?
Storytel is available in over 25 countries, primarily in Europe, the Middle East, and parts of Asia. The cancellation steps are the same regardless of your location, though prices may vary by market.
Can I pause my Storytel subscription instead of canceling?
Some Storytel markets allow you to pause your subscription for a limited period. Check your account settings for a pause option before going through with a full cancellation -- it might be the perfect solution if you just need a break.
