What happens to Spotify Kids accounts when the Family plan is canceled?

All Spotify Kids accounts under the plan are permanently deleted when the Premium Family plan ends. This is automatic and irreversible — playlists and favorites saved in Kids accounts cannot be recovered.

Can I still use Spotify after canceling the Family plan?

Yes. The plan manager's account and regular family member accounts revert to the free Spotify tier (with ads and no offline playback) at the end of the billing period. Only Spotify Kids accounts are deleted outright.

Will I get a refund when I cancel?

Spotify does not offer prorated refunds. Your Premium Family access continues until the end of your current billing cycle regardless of when you cancel.

Can I reactivate the Family plan and restore Spotify Kids accounts?

You can reactivate the Family plan at any time, but Spotify Kids accounts that were deleted when the plan lapsed cannot be restored. You would need to create new Kids accounts from scratch.

Can a family member cancel the plan themselves?

No. Only the plan manager (the account holder who pays) can cancel the Premium Family plan. Regular members and Kids account holders cannot cancel — they should contact the plan manager.

What if my plan is billed through Apple or Google Play?

If you signed up via the iOS App Store, cancel through Settings > [your name] > Subscriptions on your Apple device. If via Google Play, cancel through the Google Play app under Subscriptions. You cannot cancel third-party-billed plans through the Spotify website.

Log in as the Family plan manager

Spotify Kids is part of the Premium Family plan. Only the plan manager (the account that pays) can cancel it. Log in to your Spotify account at spotify.com — child/Kids accounts cannot cancel the plan themselves.

Go to your account subscription page

Navigate to spotify.com/account/subscription/manage/ or go to spotify.com/account and click 'Manage your plan' under the 'Your plan' section.

Click 'Change plan'

On the subscription management page, click the 'Change plan' button to open the plan options and cancellation section.

Scroll down and click 'Cancel Premium'

Scroll to the bottom of the plan options page and click 'Cancel Premium' (sometimes labeled 'Cancel subscription'). This initiates the cancellation flow for your Premium Family plan.

Confirm cancellation

Spotify may show a confirmation screen summarizing what you will lose. Click 'Yes, cancel' (or 'Continue to cancel') to confirm. You may be asked to confirm once more — click 'Cancel subscription' or 'Yes, cancel' again to finalize.

Note the end date and warn family members

After confirming, Spotify shows your Premium end date (your next billing date). All family members — including all Spotify Kids accounts — will lose access on that date. Spotify Kids accounts are permanently deleted when the plan ends and cannot be recovered.
