How to check your current plan and expiration or renewal date
To view your subscription details:
- Log in to your Surfshark account.
-
Click your email address in the top‑right corner and select Subscription:
On the Subscription page, you can see:
- Your current subscription plan
-
Your expiration date

Or renewal date
If you don’t see the auto‑renewal option, your subscription may have been purchased through a third‑party provider.
How to cancel auto‑renewal (stop future payments)
To cancel auto‑renewal:
- Log in to your Surfshark account.
-
Click your email address in the top‑right corner and select Subscription:

Select the Payments tab:

Under Subscription details, click Cancel renewal:
- Follow the on‑screen instructions to confirm the cancellation.
After canceling:
- Your subscription remains active until the expiration date
- No additional charges are made
- You may receive a confirmation email
NOTE: Cancelling your subscription's auto-renewal does not automatically grant a refund – it stops your subscription's auto-renewal and recurring payments. If you purchased our services within the last 30 days and wish to receive a refund, please refer to our article on Surfshark refund policy.
Subscriptions purchased via third‑party platforms
If you purchased Surfshark through a third‑party app store, manage your subscription directly there:
- Google Play Store: Cancel, pause, or change your subscription through your Google Play account
- Apple App Store: Manage or cancel your subscription via your Apple ID settings
NOTE: Changes made in these stores aren’t reflected in your Surfshark account settings.
For more details about the cancellation process, refer to our cancellation article.
If you can’t cancel auto‑renewal from your account, contact our customer success team via live chat for assistance.
