Do it yourself

Cancel Codecademy yourself

TLDR: Open Payment and plan and click Cancel my Subscription, and decline the pause offer if one appears. Plus or Pro lasts until this billing cycle ends, and there is no partial refund.

Cancel Plus or Pro in Account Settings

You pay Codecademy directly for Plus or Pro, including a monthly or annual plan.

  1. 01Complete verification on your account if Codecademy asks for it.
  2. 02Open Account Settings and click the Payment and plan tab. The terms call this Manage Payments.
  3. 03Select I want to end my subscription, then No thanks, I still want to cancel.
  4. 04On a monthly plan, skip the pause offer and select No thanks, I'd like to cancel.
  5. 05Choose a reason, scroll down, and click Cancel my Subscription.

If the Payment and plan tab is missing, Codecademy says you are in the wrong account or still need the verification email.

Also cancel an Afterpay plan

You bought an annual Plus or Pro subscription with Afterpay.

  1. 01Cancel in Codecademy using the Account Settings steps.
  2. 02Also cancel in your Afterpay account. Codecademy says both are required.
  3. 03Afterpay bills an annual plan in four payments, starting when the trial ends, and finishes within six weeks of the trial end.

How to know it worked

  • The subscription stays active until the end of the current billing cycle. Plus or Pro access ends then.
  • Lesson progress stays. You can resubscribe later and continue.
  • Cancelling the subscription does not delete the account. Deleting the account removes data you cannot get back.

Watch out for

  • The pricing page lists Plus at $14.99 a month billed annually, or $29.99 billed monthly. Pro is $19.99 a month billed annually, or $39.99 billed monthly.
  • A free trial bills 7 days after checkout unless you cancel before that moment. The terms say the charge uses the payment method from sign-up.
  • Pause is only for a monthly Plus or Pro plan, for 1, 2, or 3 months. You keep access until the next bill, then the pause starts. The plan resumes and charges when the pause ends. An annual plan cannot be paused. Codecademy also says pause is unavailable if you paid via PayTM.
  • Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Afterpay cannot be swapped for another payment method inside Codecademy. PayPal card updates are made at PayPal. Switching off PayPal means cancelling and signing up again.
  • The plan renews on the same day of the month or year as the first purchase, at the then-current fee, until you cancel.

Codecademy refunds

  • The terms say there is no partial or pro-rata refund when you cancel. You keep access through the end of the current period.
  • The help center says Codecademy does not grant full or prorated subscription refunds. A refund exception is a request to customer support, and Codecademy decides it.
  • Cancel a trial before the 7 days end if you do not want the first subscription charge.

If it did not work

No confirmation email? Then it didn't happen.

Our letter comes with a receipt. This is when it is worth having us do it.

Have us cancel Codecademy

  • You cannot log in, or do not remember the email

    The notice goes to Codecademy in New York in your name and address. No login, no password.

  • You paused Plus or Pro and it started charging again

    The notice asks for cancellation. A pause of 1, 2, or 3 months resumes and bills on its own.

  • You were charged after cancelling

    The dated notice and proof of delivery are what your bank asks for when you dispute the charge.

  • Afterpay kept taking payments

    The notice can name both Codecademy and Afterpay. Codecademy says an Afterpay purchase has to be cancelled in both places.

  • You would rather not chase support

    We post and email the notice, then follow up with Codecademy until they confirm. If they never do, you get your money back.

Cancelling Codecademy

What people ask about Codecademy.

How do I cancel Codecademy Plus or Pro?

Open Account Settings, then Payment and plan, and follow the prompts until you click Cancel my Subscription. On a monthly plan, decline the pause offer. If you used Afterpay, also cancel in Afterpay.

Is pausing Codecademy the same as cancelling?

No. Pause holds a monthly plan for 1, 2, or 3 months, then starts billing again. Cancel ends the plan at the close of the current billing cycle. Annual plans cannot be paused.

Can I get a refund from Codecademy?

Codecademy says subscription fees are not refunded, in full or in part, when you cancel. You can ask support for an exception. Cancel a 7-day trial before it ends if you do not want the first charge.

I cancelled Codecademy and I was still charged. What now?

The current period can still be charged. The next renewal should stop if you cancelled before the renewal date. Check Payment and plan, including the verification email if that tab is missing. If you used Afterpay, check that account too. Then contact support, or send a dated notice.

Does cancelling Codecademy delete my progress?

No. Codecademy says lesson progress stays, and you lose Plus or Pro content when the billing cycle ends. Deleting the account is separate, and that data cannot be recovered.

Can you cancel Codecademy without me logging in?

Yes. The notice goes to Codecademy in writing, so it does not depend on you reaching a cancel button inside your account. A lost password or a locked account does not stop it.

Does the letter ask them to delete my data?

Yes. It asks the company to erase the personal data it holds on you where it has no lawful reason to keep it, and to confirm in writing once it has.
