Quick answer: Spotify Premium can be cancelled on the account page when Spotify bills you directly. Its Canadian guidance says paid Premium normally remains available through the current billing period before reverting to Spotify Free; a zero-cost free trial ends immediately when cancelled. Billing by a partner changes whom you contact. Read the official Spotify Canada policy or help page for the terms tied to your purchase.
Find the account that owns the charge
Sign in to Spotify in a browser, open Manage your plan and check whether Premium is shown and who handles payment. Spotify tells direct-billed customers to select Cancel subscription in account management. If the account shows Spotify Free but you still see a charge, Spotify suggests checking whether a different login holds the paid plan. Do not delete the app and assume that doing so cancels a subscription tied to an account.
What happens to music, playlists and family plans
After direct cancellation, Spotify says a paid plan normally runs until its next billing date; then the account returns to its free, ad-supported tier. Saved music and playlists remain, although Premium-specific use stops. For Family or Duo, only the plan manager can cancel the paid plan; another member removing themselves from a shared plan does not end the manager’s billing. The current account screen is the place to confirm the effective date.
Free trial, partner billing and refunds
Spotify says cancelling during a zero-priced trial returns the account to Free immediately, and the same trial cannot be reactivated. If payment is handled by a mobile or internet provider, Spotify points users to that partner’s contact information shown under the plan. Spotify’s refund help also says it cannot refund Premium payments made through a partner, and that cancellation does not itself promise a refund of the current paid period.
A purchase situation explained
Hypothetical example: Two people share a Spotify Duo plan. One member leaves the plan in account settings, but the paying manager’s subscription remains active; the member’s departure is not the same as cancelling the recurring bill. In another case, someone charged through a phone-plan bundle needs the provider contact shown in Spotify’s billing details instead of expecting the ordinary Spotify cancellation button to control the provider’s invoice.

Common question
Does Spotify Premium end immediately after a normal paid cancellation?
Spotify says paid access generally continues until the next billing date; its zero-cost trial rule differs.
