Cancel Fitbit Premium: The Right Way
How to cancel your fitbit premium subscription: a complete guide
Why you might want to cancel fitbit premium
Fitbit Premium costs money every month, and not every subscriber finds value in the premium features. You might have signed up during a promotional trial period bundled with a new device, and now you're facing a renewal charge you didn't expect. Or you may have tried the service and realized that the free Fitbit app gives you everything you actually need. Whatever your reason, Stopee understands that cancelling a subscription should be straightforward and transparent.
Common reasons users cancel
The most frequent reason people cancel Fitbit Premium is surprise at auto-renewal. You complete a free trial (typically 3 to 6 months with a new device purchase) and forget to cancel before the trial ends, only to be charged $9.99 or more the next month. Other users find that the premium coaching, advanced sleep analytics, and guided workout programs don't change their behavior or justify the recurring cost. Some simply prefer to manage their fitness with free alternatives or other wearable ecosystems. And some users purchase a device with promotional access and decide during the trial that premium features aren't worth the subscription fee.
The financial impact of staying subscribed
If you select the monthly plan at $9.99 per month, you commit to spending $119.88 per year if the subscription renews automatically. Annual plans cost $79.99 upfront but lock you into a full year of prepaid commitment. Even a small monthly charge adds up quickly. If you haven't used the app consistently or haven't opened a guided program in months, you're likely paying for a service you've abandoned. Cancelling stops the bleeding immediately and restores control over your spending.
Understanding fitbit premium's pricing and plans
Fitbit Premium offers three billing paths, each with different renewal behavior and effective costs.
Plan options and what you pay
Fitbit Premium's pricing is consistent across the United States, though promotional offers and bundled trial access vary by device and retailer. Understanding which plan you actually enrolled in is the first step toward cancelling without surprises.
| Plan type | Price (USD) | Auto-renewal | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly subscription | $9.99 per month | Yes, every month | Testing the service; maximum flexibility |
| Annual subscription | $79.99 per year | Yes, after 12 months | Committed users; saves $39.89 vs. monthly |
| Promotional trial (device bundle) | Free for 3-6 months | Converts to paid plan at trial end | New device buyers; requires manual cancellation |
Why promotional trials are a cancellation trap
When you buy a new Fitbit device, the retailer or manufacturer often includes a free trial of Fitbit Premium lasting 3, 4, or 6 months. This is a genuine promotional benefit, but it comes with a hidden cost: if you don't actively cancel before the trial expires, your payment method is automatically charged and the subscription converts to a paid plan. You receive a renewal notice, but many users miss it in their email or don't act on it in time. Stopee has helped many users recognize this pattern and cancel before the surprise charge hits.
How to cancel fitbit premium step-by-step
Cancellation takes just a few minutes when you know where to look. Fitbit gives you two main routes: the mobile app and the web portal. Both lead to the same result, so choose whichever is more convenient for you right now.
Cancel via the fitbit mobile app (iOS and android)
The Fitbit app is the fastest way to cancel because you likely have it already installed on your phone.
- Open the Fitbit app and tap the Today tab at the bottom of the screen.
- Tap your profile picture or avatar in the upper left corner.
- Scroll down and select Manage Subscriptions (you may need to scroll further if this option is not immediately visible).
- Select your Fitbit Premium subscription from the list.
- Tap Cancel Subscription and confirm your choice when prompted.
- Wait for a confirmation message; take a screenshot of the confirmation screen for your records.
Pro tip: If you don't see a "Manage Subscriptions" option, your subscription may have been purchased through a third-party app store (like Google Play or Apple App Store) rather than directly from Fitbit. In that case, scroll to the very bottom of your profile menu and look for "Apps and Subscriptions" or contact Fitbit Support directly.
Cancel via the fitbit website (desktop or mobile browser)
The web-based cancellation method works on any device with internet access and gives you a clear view of your account settings.
- Go to fitbit.com in your web browser.
- Click the person icon in the upper right corner of the page (or the menu icon on mobile).
- Sign in with the email address and password associated with your Fitbit account.
- Look for Settings or Account Settings in the dropdown menu.
- Select Subscriptions or Manage Subscriptions.
- Find Fitbit Premium in the list and click or tap Cancel Subscription.
- Follow the final confirmation prompts and save your confirmation details.
Warning: Do not close your browser or leave the page during the final confirmation step. Fitbit requires explicit approval before the cancellation takes effect, and refreshing the page mid-process can sometimes reset your progress.
Cancel via third-party app stores (Apple app store or google play)
If you subscribed to Fitbit Premium through Apple or Google rather than directly through Fitbit, you must cancel through that platform, not through the Fitbit app itself.
-
For iPhone (Apple App Store):
- Open the App Store.
- Tap your profile icon in the upper right corner.
- Tap Subscriptions.
- Find and tap Fitbit.
- Tap Cancel Subscription.
-
For Android (Google Play):
- Open Google Play Store.
- Tap the profile icon in the upper right corner.
- Go to Manage subscriptions.
- Find Fitbit and tap it.
- Tap Cancel subscription.
Cancelling through the app store stops the subscription renewal at your platform's level, which typically takes effect before your next billing date.
What happens immediately after you cancel
Cancellation is final, but your access doesn't stop right away.
Access and features after cancellation
When you cancel Fitbit Premium, you keep access to the full premium feature set until the end of your current billing cycle. If you're in the middle of a monthly subscription (for example, you cancelled on day 15 of a 30-day cycle), you can still use premium features, guided workouts, and advanced analytics for the remainder of that month. Your account then reverts to the free Fitbit experience on the next renewal date. You do not lose your device, your data, or your fitness history; those remain tied to your account permanently.
Your confirmation and documentation
Fitbit sends a cancellation confirmation email to the address associated with your account. Check your inbox and spam folder for this email, which typically arrives within a few minutes. Save this email or take a screenshot of your in-app confirmation as proof of cancellation. This documentation becomes important if Fitbit attempts to charge you after the cancellation date or if you need to dispute a charge with your credit card company.
Refunds and what to expect if you were charged unexpectedly
Fitbit Premium's refund policy depends on when you initiate the request and whether you cancelled within the trial period.
Refunds during free trial periods
If you cancelled within the free trial window, you should not be charged at all. Your account ends at the trial expiration date with no payment due. However, if Fitbit charged you despite cancellation during the trial, contact Fitbit Support immediately and request a reversal of the charge.
Refunds after the trial period or paid subscription
Fitbit does not offer refunds for paid monthly or annual subscriptions once the billing period has begun. This is a standard industry practice, and the terms of service state that subscriptions are non-refundable. However, if you were charged after cancelling, or if the charge occurred due to a system error or lack of clear cancellation confirmation, Stopee recommends escalating your case to Fitbit Support with documentation of your cancellation attempt.
Using consumer protection law as a leverage point
The Restore Online Shoppers Confidence Act (ROSCA), enforced by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), requires companies to obtain express informed consent before charging you, to make cancellation as easy as signing up, and to honor cancellation requests promptly. If Fitbit charged you after you clearly cancelled, or if the cancellation process was deliberately obscured, you have grounds to dispute the charge with your credit card issuer and file a complaint with the FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov. Document everything: your cancellation screenshots, confirmation emails, and billing statements that show charges after cancellation.
Your consumer rights and protections
Federal law protects you when it comes to automatic subscription renewals and cancellation.
What ROSCA and the FTC require
Under the Restore Online Shoppers Confidence Act, any company offering a subscription service must: (1) clearly disclose all material terms, including the cancellation policy, before you agree to pay; (2) make cancellation mechanisms at least as easy as signup; (3) honor your cancellation request within a reasonable time; and (4) not attempt to charge you after you have cancelled. If Fitbit violates any of these rules, the FTC considers it an unfair or deceptive practice. Stopee believes every consumer should know these rights and use them if needed.
State law protections
Many states, including California, New York, and Illinois, have enacted their own automatic renewal laws that go beyond federal requirements. California's California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA) and similar state laws often require even clearer consent and easier cancellation pathways. If you live in a state with strong consumer protection statutes and Fitbit violates those laws, you may be eligible for statutory damages or attorney fee awards if you pursue the claim.
Dispute resolution through your payment method
If Fitbit refuses to issue a refund or honour your cancellation, your credit card company, bank, or PayPal account can dispute the charge on your behalf. Contact your payment provider and request a chargeback or dispute, citing unauthorized charges after cancellation. Provide your cancellation confirmation as evidence. This is a legitimate consumer protection mechanism and does not harm your credit score as long as the dispute is valid.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling
Cancellation seems simple, but small oversights can lead to unexpected charges and frustration.
Mistake 1: cancelling only in the free trial, not the paid subscription
Many users cancel their free trial but assume the paid subscription is also cancelled. It is not. If your promotional trial period is ending and you sign up for the paid plan, you must cancel the paid plan separately. Stopee strongly recommends checking your Manage Subscriptions page one week before your trial ends to verify that only the trial is listed, not a pending paid subscription beneath it.
Mistake 2: forgetting to cancel via the app store
If your subscription came through Apple or Google, cancelling in the Fitbit app alone will not stop the charges. You must cancel in the app store where the subscription was actually set up. Check all three places: the Fitbit app, Apple App Store (if you use iPhone), and Google Play (if you use Android). If you're unsure which platform hosts your subscription, log into your payment method's account and search for "Fitbit" under active subscriptions.
Mistake 3: missing the cancellation confirmation deadline
After you tap "Cancel Subscription," Fitbit displays a final confirmation screen. You must complete this step. If you leave the page or close the app before confirming, your cancellation request is not processed. Return to Manage Subscriptions and try again, watching for the final prompt.
Mistake 4: assuming email notice means automatic cancellation
Fitbit sends renewal reminders to your email inbox before billing dates. Receiving an email is not the same as cancelling. You must take action in the app or on the website. If you receive a renewal notice and have not yet cancelled, treat it as an urgent reminder to log in and complete the cancellation process immediately.

Fitbit premium reviews and user experiences
Real users offer valuable perspective on whether Fitbit Premium is worth keeping.
What subscribers say about the value
Users who actively engage with Fitbit Premium report that the guided workout programs, personalized sleep coaching, and detailed readiness reports justify the $9.99 monthly cost. Enthusiastic subscribers appreciate the structured fitness challenges and the ability to share data with healthcare providers or trainers. However, these benefits require consistent engagement. Users who open the app once a week or less frequently find that premium features add little value and decide to cancel.
Why cancellation rates are high
Consumer feedback and support threads reveal a consistent pattern: many users cancel within the first month of a paid subscription because they never integrated the premium tools into their routine. The free Fitbit app tracks steps, sleep, and heart rate, which is often sufficient for casual fitness users. The premium layer is most valuable for users training for a specific goal, managing a medical condition under guidance, or following a structured wellness program. If none of those apply to you, cancelling is the rational choice. Stopee has worked with thousands of users who realized their money was better spent elsewhere.
When to keep versus when to cancel
This comparison helps you decide whether to continue your subscription or move forward with cancellation.
| Keep Fitbit Premium if... | Cancel Fitbit Premium if... |
|---|---|
| You use guided workouts at least twice per week | You've never opened a guided program in the app |
| You track sleep and use the coaching insights to improve sleep quality | You only care about step count and basic activity metrics |
| You share reports with a doctor, trainer, or health coach who reviews them with you | You live alone and don't share your data with anyone |
| You are training for a specific fitness goal and use readiness scores to guide daily activity | You exercise casually and don't follow a structured training plan |
| You have explicitly evaluated the cost and decided it fits your budget | You're unsure why you're paying or you'd rather spend the money elsewhere |

Stopee has helped thousands of consumers cancel unwanted subscriptions and take back control of their spending.
