Frequently asked questions
Cancel Scribd: The Right Way
How to cancel your Scribd subscription and recover your money
Understanding Scribd and why you might want to cancel
Scribd is a subscription-based digital library that grants you access to eBooks, audiobooks, magazines and documents across multiple devices. You pay a monthly fee to stream or download content, and your service remains active only as long as your subscription is current. Many Singaporean users initially subscribe with enthusiasm, then realise they do not read frequently enough to justify the ongoing cost. Others discover they have switched to competing platforms, or signed up for a free trial that is about to convert to paid billing. Whatever your reason, Yafee is here to guide you through the cancellation process with clarity and confidence.
Who should cancel Scribd
You should consider cancelling if you are not actively using the service, if you have found a more affordable alternative, or if your free trial is approaching its end date. Cancelling stops future charges immediately, though your access typically continues until the end of your current paid billing period. This means you do not lose reading time simply because you cancel early in a billing cycle.
Key facts about your Scribd account
Your Scribd account may be linked to your web browser, Apple App Store or Google Play, depending on where you signed up. This matters because each platform operates its own cancellation process and refund rules. Cancelling through the wrong method could leave your subscription active and charges continuing. Yafee advises you to identify which platform hosts your account before you begin the cancellation process.
Your consumer rights when cancelling Scribd in singapore
Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act gives you specific rights when you cancel digital services like Scribd.
What the law says about cancellations and refunds
Under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act, you have the right to cancel a subscription service within a reasonable timeframe if Scribd fails to provide the service as promised or charges you without clear consent. If Scribd continues to bill you after you request cancellation, you have grounds to dispute the charge and recover the funds. The Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) can assist you if Scribd refuses to honour a cancellation request or refund claim. Your legal position is strong: the law requires Scribd to acknowledge your cancellation promptly and cease all charges within a reasonable period.
Why this matters for your Scribd cancellation
Knowing your rights empowers you to push back if Scribd delays your cancellation or refuses a refund. Many users do not realise that Scribd must honour a cancellation request within a reasonable time, and repeated charges after cancellation may be recoverable. Yafee recommends keeping screenshots of your cancellation confirmation email as proof of when you cancelled. This documentation is critical if you need to escalate a dispute to CASE or your bank.
Scribd cancellation methods and which is fastest
You have three primary methods to cancel Scribd: through the website, via your Apple App Store account or through your Google Play account.
Web cancellation versus app store cancellation
Cancelling directly through the Scribd website is the fastest and most transparent method if you signed up on their site. App store cancellations (Apple or Google) take slightly longer to process because the platform must notify Scribd of your request. Nevertheless, if you subscribed through an app store, you must cancel through that same platform to ensure the charge stops. Yafee advises checking your billing history or confirmation email to identify your subscription source.
Why platform matters for your refund timeline
If you subscribed through Scribd's website directly, you may request a refund for any portion of your current billing cycle that you do not use. If you subscribed through Apple App Store, Apple processes refunds according to its own policy (typically within 15 calendar days for unused subscriptions). Google Play follows a similar 48-hour window for refund eligibility. Consequently, your refund entitlement depends on which platform hosts your subscription and how quickly you submit your request.
How to cancel Scribd via the website
Cancelling directly through the Scribd website is the clearest path if you signed up at scribd.com or everand.com.
Step 1: log in to your Scribd account
Navigate to scribd.com or everand.com and enter your email address and password. If you have forgotten your password, click "Forgot password" and follow the reset link in your email. You must have access to your account before you can proceed to cancellation.
Step 2: navigate to your account settings
Once logged in, locate your profile icon or username in the top right corner of the screen. Click it to open a dropdown menu and select "Account," "Settings" or "My Account." The exact label varies depending on which Scribd domain you are using.
Step 3: find your subscription and billing section
Look for a menu option labelled "Subscription," "Billing," "Subscription and Payment Details" or "Membership." This section displays your current plan, renewal date and payment method. You must access this section to locate the cancellation button.
Step 4: click the cancel subscription button
Look for a button or link labelled "End My Subscription," "Cancel Subscription" or "Manage Subscription." Click it to initiate the cancellation process. Do not click "Pause," "Skip Next Billing" or "Downgrade Plan" unless you intend to resume service later; these options do not cancel your subscription permanently.
Step 5: confirm your cancellation request
Scribd will prompt you to confirm your cancellation. You may see retention offers, such as a discounted rate to stay. Only accept if you genuinely want to continue at the lower price. If you do not accept, proceed to confirm the full cancellation. You will receive a confirmation email at your registered address.
Step 6: save your confirmation email
Check your email inbox (including spam) for a cancellation confirmation from Scribd. This email serves as proof of your cancellation date. Forward it to yourself or take a screenshot. Yafee advises keeping this documentation for at least 90 days in case you need to dispute a charge or contact customer support.
How to cancel Scribd via apple app store
If you subscribed to Scribd through your Apple device, you must cancel through the App Store to stop recurring charges.
Step 1: open the app store on your iPhone, iPad or mac
On an iPhone or iPad, open the App Store and tap the account icon (usually a person silhouette) in the bottom right corner. On a Mac, open the App Store and click "Account" in the sidebar.
Step 2: tap manage subscriptions
Select "Manage Subscriptions" or "Subscriptions" from the menu. A list of your active and inactive subscriptions appears. Locate "Scribd" in the list and tap it.
Step 3: click cancel subscription
Once you open the Scribd subscription entry, you will see an option to "Edit," "Cancel Subscription" or "Turn Off Auto-Renewal." Tap "Cancel Subscription" to end your renewal. The App Store will ask you to confirm your decision.
Step 4: confirm your cancellation
Confirm that you want to cancel when prompted. Apple will send a confirmation email to your Apple ID account. Your subscription will remain active until the end of your current billing period, after which access ceases and no further charges occur.
How to cancel Scribd via google play
If you subscribed through the Google Play Store on an Android device, you must cancel through Google Play to stop automatic renewal.
Step 1: open google play on your android device
Open the Google Play Store app and tap your profile icon in the top right corner. Select "Manage your Google Account" and navigate to the "Payments and subscriptions" tab.
Step 2: locate your Scribd subscription
Under "Subscriptions," tap "Manage subscriptions." A list of all active subscriptions appears. Find "Scribd" and tap it to open the subscription details.
Step 3: click cancel the subscription
Tap "Cancel subscription" on the Scribd subscription page. Google Play will confirm your action by displaying a reason prompt. You may optionally provide feedback, but it is not required to complete cancellation.
Step 4: confirm your cancellation
Confirm that you wish to cancel when prompted. Google will send a confirmation email to your Gmail account. Your Scribd access continues until the end of your current billing cycle, after which no further charges occur.
What happens after you cancel Scribd
Understanding your access timeline and refund eligibility after cancellation protects you from confusion and unexpected charges.
Your access timeline after cancellation
After you cancel, you retain full access to Scribd until the end of your current paid billing period. If your billing cycle ends on the 15th of the month and you cancel on the 5th, you continue to read and download until the 15th without restriction. On the 15th, your access terminates automatically. Consequently, you do not lose reading time by cancelling mid-cycle.
Refund eligibility and timeframes
Refund eligibility depends on which platform hosted your subscription and how quickly you request a refund. If you subscribed directly through Scribd's website, contact their support team at the address listed below to request a refund for the unused portion of your billing cycle. Apple App Store refunds are typically available within 15 calendar days of purchase if the subscription was unused. Google Play allows refunds within 48 hours of purchase if the subscription was unused. In accordance with the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act, you may dispute a charge with your bank or credit card issuer if Scribd or the app platform refuses your legitimate refund request.
Preventing accidental resubscription
After cancellation, Scribd does not automatically reactivate your subscription. However, if you click "Renew," "Reactivate" or "Start a New Membership" after cancellation, you will be charged immediately for a new billing cycle. Yafee advises avoiding Scribd's website and marketing emails for at least one week after cancellation to avoid accidental reactivation. Delete promotional emails offering discounts or limited-time reactivation offers.
Scribd pricing and comparison table
Understanding what you pay and what comparable services cost helps you decide whether to cancel or downgrade.
| Plan | Monthly cost (SGD) | Annual cost (SGD) | Content access | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Scribd Plus (Monthly) | $13.99 | N/A | Unlimited eBooks, audiobooks, magazines, documents | Regular readers who want flexibility |
| Scribd Plus (Annual) | $9.58 (prorated) | $114.99 | Unlimited eBooks, audiobooks, magazines, documents | Best value for committed readers |
| Free trial | $0.00 | N/A | Limited access (usually 7-30 days) | First-time users testing the service |
| No subscription | $0.00 | $0.00 | None (free browsing only) | Users who prefer other platforms |
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling Scribd
Cancellation is straightforward, but a few preventable errors can delay the process or leave you still paying charges.
Mistake 1: cancelling through the wrong platform
If you subscribed through Apple App Store, cancelling through the website does not stop app store charges. Conversely, if you subscribed via the website, cancelling in the app store does not terminate your web subscription. You must cancel through the same platform where you signed up. Check your original confirmation email to identify your subscription source.
Mistake 2: clicking pause or skip instead of cancel
"Pause Subscription" and "Skip Next Billing" are temporary holds that do not cancel your subscription permanently. They resume automatic charges after the pause period ends. If you intend to cancel completely, always select "End Subscription," "Cancel Subscription" or "Cancel Permanently," depending on the label Scribd displays.
Mistake 3: not saving your confirmation email
If Scribd charges you after cancellation, you will need proof that you cancelled. Your confirmation email is that proof. Without it, disputing the charge with your bank or CASE becomes more difficult. Take a screenshot or forward the confirmation to yourself immediately after cancellation.
Mistake 4: assuming access ends immediately
Your Scribd access continues until the end of your paid billing cycle, even after you cancel. If you cancel on the 1st of the month but your cycle ends on the 30th, you have access for 29 more days. This is not an error, but knowing it prevents surprise when you can still access content after cancellation.
Mistake 5: accepting retention discounts without considering your actual usage
Scribd frequently offers discounts to retain cancelling users. Only accept if you genuinely intend to read regularly at the lower rate. If you accepted a discount only to cancel again a month later, you will have wasted money and extended the cycle. Be honest about your reading habits before accepting any retention offer.
When to escalate your Scribd cancellation dispute
In most cases, Scribd cancels promptly and charges stop without issue. If Scribd fails to honour your request, you have recourse under consumer law.
If Scribd refuses to cancel or charges continue
If you submitted a valid cancellation request and Scribd continues to charge you, contact their customer support team immediately. Provide your confirmation email as evidence. If Scribd does not respond within 7 business days or denies your request without justification, escalate your complaint to the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE). CASE can mediate disputes and, if necessary, refer your case to the Consumer Protection Division of the Ministry of Health Singapore. Yafee advises documenting every communication with Scribd, including email addresses, dates and times of contact, to strengthen your case.
Disputing charges with your bank or card issuer
If Scribd charges continue after cancellation and the company does not respond to your requests, contact your bank or credit card issuer immediately. Request a chargeback or dispute for "unauthorized billing" or "cancelled subscription not honoured." Most banks investigate such disputes within 30 days and can reverse fraudulent or erroneous charges. Provide your confirmation email and bank statement showing the unwanted charge as evidence.
