Advisory: Cancel Where You Subscribed

You can only stop billing on the platform you originally paid on. If you subscribed inside an app, cancelling on the website won't stop the charge — and vice versa. Watch out for retention “dark patterns” too: keep going until you see a clear “Cancellation Confirmed” screen and a confirmation email.

Refunds

How to Get a Refund From MasterClass If You Were Already Charged

MasterClass offers a 30-day satisfaction guarantee for first-time purchases made on their website. To request this refund, email support@masterclass.com.

Standard annual renewal charges are generally non-refundable. However, if you are unexpectedly charged for a renewal, it is worth emailing support immediately to ask for a courtesy refund.

(Note: App store purchases must be refunded by Apple or Google).

Charged for something you forgot?

Renew Reminder warns you up to 14 days before your next renewal — so you never have to chase a refund again.

Aftermath

What Happens After Cancelling MasterClass?

Once cancelled, your subscription will not auto-renew for another year.

You will retain full access to all MasterClass videos and materials until the end of your current paid annual billing period.

Alternative Solutions

MasterClass Alternatives Worth Considering

Skillshare offers thousands of courses focusing heavily on creative skills, arts, and design, typically taught by working professionals rather than celebrities.

Wondrium (formerly The Great Courses Plus) offers deep, academic-level lectures on history, science, and literature taught by university professors.

Pre-Cancellation Review

Before You Cancel — Things to Consider

  • Where did you buy it? If you bought MasterClass through an app (Apple App Store, Google Play, Amazon, Roku), you cannot cancel it on the MasterClass website. You must manage it through that specific platform's subscription settings.
  • 30-Day Guarantee. If this is your first time subscribing and it has been less than 30 days since you bought it, you are eligible for a full refund (if purchased on their website).
