Cancel a free trial before it turns into a paid sub

The trial ends this week and the cancel path is buried. Get the steps, the wording and a calendar habit for next time.

Updated 17 Oct 2026

The prompt · ChatGPT

Help me cancel a free trial before I'm charged.

Service: [name]
Trial end date: [date]
How I signed up: [app store, website, through another account]
Confirmation emails I have: [yes/no]

Ask me up to 3 short questions first if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers.

Then:
1. A short cancel message or chat script.
2. General places to look (account, billing, app store subscriptions) without inventing their exact menu names if unsure.
3. What confirmation I should screenshot.
4. A habit so the next trial gets a calendar alert on day one.

Only use what I've told you, leave blanks for anything I haven't given, and don't invent facts, figures or products. UK English.

Stay in this ChatGPT chat. Do not turn on apps or connectors, and do not use memory from another chat.

A short example

Fill the blanks, then paste. name: a short note you already have. date: a short note you already have. Leave the rest of the prompt as written.

This does not give tax advice. The books stay in the accounting system.
