There are two possible routes, and using the wrong one is why people cancel ChatGPT Plus and still get charged. Check which applies to you first.
This is the step people skip. ChatGPT Plus can be billed either by Apple (if you subscribed inside an iPhone or iPad app) or by ChatGPT Plus directly (if you signed up on their website). Only the biller can cancel it.
To check: open Settings → your name → Subscriptions on your iPhone. If ChatGPT Plus appears there, Apple bills you — use route A. If it does not, use route B.
Go straight to the ChatGPT Plus cancellation page →
Worth knowing: If you subscribed in the iOS app the browser will refuse and tell you to cancel through Apple — go to Settings → your name → Subscriptions. Cancelling Plus does not delete your chat history or your account.
You keep Plus features until the period ends, then drop to the free tier with tighter usage limits. Conversations and custom GPTs remain.
Always confirm it worked. Look for a cancellation email, and re-open the billing page to check the status reads cancelled or "ends on [date]". Then set a calendar reminder for the day after the period ends and check your card statement. A surprising number of cancellations do not take on the first attempt.
Most services have a cheaper tier that people never look at, and several offer a pause instead of a cancellation. If you use ChatGPT Plus occasionally rather than never, a lower plan or a temporary pause usually beats cancelling and resubscribing at a higher price later.
