Do it yourself

Cancel Curiosity Stream yourself

TLDR: If Curiosity Stream bills you, open Manage Plan and select Cancel Plan, or cancel with Apple, Google, Roku or Amazon if they bill you. You keep access until the period ends, and a refund only happens if they say so.

Cancel a plan bought on the website

You created the account on curiositystream.com and pay Curiosity Stream directly.

  1. 01Check the bank statement so you know who bills you.
  2. 02Open Your Account.
  3. 03At the bottom, in Plan and Payment, select Manage Plan.
  4. 04Select Cancel Plan at the top right and follow the prompts.

Cancel by email

You want a written request, or you cannot finish the account steps.

  1. 01Email help@curiositystream.com.
  2. 02The terms say you may cancel at any time by logging in or by contacting that address.
  3. 03Include the email on the account and say you want the subscription cancelled.

The same terms list 1-844-778-8999 for questions about the terms. They do not publish hours.

Cancel an Apple subscription

iTunes or the Apple App Store bills you, including on iPhone or iPad.

  1. 01Curiosity Stream says to cancel in the Apple App Store, not on its website.
  2. 02Use Apple's subscription steps and look for Curiosity Stream.

Cancel a Google Play subscription

Google Play bills you on Android.

  1. 01Cancel in the Google Play Store.
  2. 02Follow Google's instructions and look for Curiosity Stream.

Cancel a Roku subscription

Roku bills you.

  1. 01Press Home on the Roku remote.
  2. 02Highlight the Curiosity Stream channel and press Star.
  3. 03Select Manage subscription.
  4. 04Select Cancel subscription, confirm Cancel subscription, then select Done.

Roku shows how long access continues, then a confirmation with the date access ends.

Cancel an Amazon subscription

Amazon bills you.

  1. 01On an Android device with the Amazon Appstore: open the Appstore, select Subscriptions, then Curiosity Stream Subscription, and turn auto-renewal off.
  2. 02On a Kindle Fire: from Home, select Apps, then Store, then My Subscriptions, then Curiosity Stream, and turn auto-renewal off.

How to know it worked

  • A direct cancellation takes effect at the end of the current subscription period. You keep access until then.
  • On Roku, the last screen confirms the cancellation and the date access ends.
  • The terms say you will not receive a refund unless Curiosity Stream says so at the time of cancellation.

Watch out for

  • Standard is $5.99 a month or $49.99 a year. Smart Bundle is $11.99 a month or $79.99 a year. The site also shows plans starting at $4.17 a month, which is the $49.99 annual price split by month.
  • A paid plan renews for the same length of time until you cancel. A monthly plan bills again at the start of the next month.
  • A free trial becomes a paid plan if you do not cancel during the trial. The offer states the price that starts when the trial ends.
  • A plan bought on the Curiosity Stream site usually does not include every CuriosityStream service, such as Curiosity University. A bundle with another company is governed by that company's terms as well.
  • iTunes, Google Play, Roku, and Amazon subscriptions are cancelled on those platforms. The website cancel button is for accounts created on the website.

Curiosity Stream refunds

  • The terms say cancellation does not include a refund unless Curiosity Stream says otherwise at the time you cancel.
  • A refund in one case does not entitle you to a refund later.
  • App store charges follow that store's rules. Cancel there, and ask that store about a refund.

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

    The notice goes to CuriosityStream's legal department in your name and address. No login, no password.

  • The website has no cancel button

    The charge is probably from Apple, Google, Roku, or Amazon. The notice still records the request with CuriosityStream. Cancel in the store that bills you so that charge stops.

  • You were charged after cancelling

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

  • A free trial turned into a paid plan

    The dated notice shows when you asked for cancellation, which is what the trial terms require before the paid price starts.

  • You would rather not chase support

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

Cancelling Curiosity Stream

What people ask about Curiosity Stream.

How do I cancel Curiosity Stream if I signed up on the website?

Open Your Account, then Plan and Payment, then Manage Plan, then Cancel Plan. You can also email help@curiositystream.com. The terms say either method cancels it.

When does the cancellation take effect?

At the end of the current subscription period. You can keep watching until then.

Can I get a refund from Curiosity Stream?

The terms say you do not get a refund unless Curiosity Stream agrees to one when you cancel. An app store charge is handled by that store.

Does cancelling Curiosity Stream cancel a bundle partner too?

A Content Bundle can include another company's subscription, and that company has its own terms. Cancel the Curiosity Stream plan in the account or store that bills it. Do not assume that one cancellation ends a different company's plan.

Can you cancel Curiosity Stream without me logging in?

Yes. The notice goes to Curiosity Stream 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.
