If you are searching how to cancel Otter.ai subscription, you are usually trying to do one thing: stop auto-renew before your next charge.

This guide shows the exact steps for:

  • Web (paid directly on Otter.ai)
  • iPhone (App Store)
  • Android (Google Play)

Official reference (one external link): Otter.ai cancellation guide


Quick answer (TL;DR)

  • Subscribed on Web: Profile -> Account Settings -> Plan -> Cancel Plan
  • Subscribed on iPhone or Android: cancel in the same store you used to buy it (App Store or Google Play)

Otter subscriptions auto-renew unless you cancel, and Otter recommends canceling at least 24 hours before the next billing date.

How to cancel Otter.ai (3 ways)


Step 1: Confirm where you subscribed

This matters because you must cancel in the same place you paid:

  • Otter.ai web billing -> cancel inside Otter account settings
  • Apple App Store -> cancel inside Apple Subscriptions
  • Google Play -> cancel inside Play Store Subscriptions

If you are unsure, open the Otter mobile app and look for Manage subscription (it may redirect you or show which method you used).


How to cancel Otter.ai subscription on Web (paid on Otter.ai)

  1. Sign in to Otter.ai (as the workspace admin or owner)
  2. Click your Profile (left navigation)
  3. Go to Account Settings -> Plan tab
  4. Scroll down and click Cancel Plan
  5. Confirm cancellation in the popup

After you cancel, the subscription should be set to expire at the end of the billing period (not immediately), and you can keep paid features until it expires.


How to cancel Otter.ai subscription on iPhone (App Store)

If you subscribed through the App Store, cancel it in Apple Subscriptions:

  1. iOS Settings
  2. Tap your Apple ID name at the top
  3. Subscriptions
  4. Otter -> Cancel Subscription

Important: uninstalling the Otter app does not cancel your subscription.


How to cancel Otter.ai subscription on Android (Google Play)

If you subscribed through Google Play:

  1. Open Google Play Store
  2. Tap Profile (top-right)
  3. Payments and subscriptions -> Subscriptions
  4. Otter -> Cancel subscription

What happens after you cancel?

Otter states:

  • cancellation is not immediate
  • your plan expires at the end of the current billing cycle
  • after expiry, your workspace continues on the Basic plan

If you are in a workspace, note that members may have access limits on older conversations on Basic, so export anything critical before the paid period ends.

Refunds: can you get your money back?

Otter's help center states that subscriptions are non-refundable (per their Terms). If you purchased via Apple or Google, refunds are handled by those stores' policies.

Practical tip: if you are canceling to avoid being charged again, do it at least 24 hours before your next billing date.


If you are canceling because you need lecture and video notes

Otter is strong for meeting-style transcription, but students often want:

  • lecture recordings to structured study notes
  • YouTube or video to clean summaries and key points

That workflow is what WhispriNote is built for:


FAQ

Does canceling Otter.ai delete my account?

No. Canceling billing is different from deleting your Otter account.

Can I cancel on the Otter mobile app?

Otter notes you may see a Manage subscription option, but depending on how you subscribed, you will either be redirected to web billing or you must cancel via the App Store or Google Play.

I canceled. Why do I still have access?

Because the subscription expires at the end of the billing period. You keep paid features until that date.
