Do it yourself

Cancel DistroKid yourself

TLDR: Open Account, click Manage, then Cancel membership, and finish every prompt, while DistroKid Direct is cancelled separately in chat. Refunds are at DistroKid's discretion, and stopping halfway leaves the membership on.

Cancel the membership

You can still sign in to the annual DistroKid membership.

  1. 01Sign in to DistroKid.
  2. 02Click your profile icon in the upper right.
  3. 03Select Account.
  4. 04Scroll to the bottom and click Manage.
  5. 05Click Cancel membership.
  6. 06Follow the instructions on the page.

Cancel DistroKid Direct

You pay for DistroKid Direct, which is a separate subscription.

  1. 01Open the DistroKid Help Center.
  2. 02Click the chat bubble in the lower right.
  3. 03Ask the agent to cancel DistroKid Direct.

DistroKid says the quickest way to reach the team is that same chat bubble. DistroBot can hand you to a person.

How to know it worked

  • Finish every prompt on the cancel page. Stopping halfway leaves the membership in place.
  • The membership is billed annually and renews every year on the date the subscription was first created.
  • You can still log in after you stop paying, and DistroKid says you still receive earnings it owes you.

Watch out for

  • Musician is $24.99 billed annually, shown as $2.08/month, for 1 artist. Musician Plus is $44.99 billed annually, shown as $3.75/month, for 2 artists. Ultimate is $89.99 billed annually, shown as $7.50/month.
  • The $2.08/month line on the plans page is for a first-time Musician subscription bought on the web. DistroKid says it does not apply to renewals, app purchases, or other plans.
  • If you do not renew, DistroKid says your music will be removed from services. If a renewal charge fails, it says it gives ample notice before removing music.
  • Leave a Legacy on a release keeps that release up after you cancel. It does not replace the annual fee while the membership is still active, and each release needs its own extra.
  • A failed renewal can be fixed by updating the card at distrokid.com/card/list and letting the past-due charge go through. DistroKid says the releases then come back.

DistroKid refunds

  • DistroKid's terms say any refunds are in its sole discretion.
  • Ask in the same chat as the cancellation if you want a refund considered. Cancelling alone does not start one.

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 DistroKid

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

    The notice goes to DistroKid's office in your name and address. No login, no password.

  • Your music came down after you cancelled

    The notice dates the cancellation. Releases with Leave a Legacy are the ones DistroKid says stay up.

  • You were charged after cancelling

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

  • DistroKid Direct kept billing after the membership ended

    The notice names Direct on its own, because that subscription is cancelled in chat, not on the membership page.

  • You would rather not chase support

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

Cancelling DistroKid

What people ask about DistroKid.

How do I cancel DistroKid?

Sign in, open your profile, choose Account, click Manage, then Cancel membership, and finish the instructions on the page. DistroKid Direct is separate: cancel that one in the Help Center chat.

Will my songs stay on Spotify if I cancel?

DistroKid says that if you do not renew, your music will be removed from services. A release with the Leave a Legacy extra stays up unless you delete it. Each release needs that extra.

When does DistroKid charge me?

Subscriptions are billed annually and renew every year on the date the subscription was first created. Musician is $24.99 billed annually, Musician Plus is $44.99, and Ultimate is $89.99.

I cancelled DistroKid and I am still being charged. What now?

Check whether DistroKid Direct, or a second membership, is still active. Then use the Help Center chat with the dates. For a formal record, we send DistroKid a dated notice with proof of delivery.

Can I get a refund from DistroKid?

The terms say any refunds are in DistroKid's sole discretion. Ask when you cancel. Cancelling alone does not refund the year you already paid.

Can you cancel DistroKid without me logging in?

Yes. The notice goes to DistroKid 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.
