Cancellation policy

Google Play Pass bills automatically and renews until you cancel. Notice period: none (cancel any time). Google generally does not refund mid-cycle; unused prepaid plans may be refunded per Google Play policy.

Google Play Pass is cancelled only in the Google Play Store (Payments & subscriptions > Subscriptions); no separate website. Benefits last until period end. Google Play Pass free trials appear as limited-time promotions rather than a published standing offer — the most recent one gave first-time subscribers 1 month free in select countries and ended on 31 August 2026. Google's own Play Pass page does not advertise a permanent trial, so availability depends on country, account and promotion.
