Cancel Cricut: The Right Way

How to cancel your Cricut subscription in australia and stop paying today

Why you might want to cancel your Cricut access membership

Cricut Access is a paid membership that unlocks a larger design library, fonts, project templates and exclusive member discounts. Not every crafter needs it. You might be cancelling because you've finished your projects, found cheaper design alternatives elsewhere, or realised you don't use the premium features often enough to justify the ongoing cost. Whatever your reason, you have the right to cancel whenever you choose, and Tocancel is here to walk you through it.

Understanding what Cricut access costs you

Cricut Access typically costs around A$13.99 per month or A$139.99 per year for Australian customers. The free tier lets you use Design Space with a limited library, but Access unlocks thousands of fonts, images and ready-made projects. If you're only cutting basic shapes or using designs you've already created, you probably don't need the premium tier at all. Take a moment to review your recent usage in the Design Space dashboard to confirm whether the membership still makes sense for your workflow.

Common reasons australian users cancel

Users cancel Cricut Access for clear, practical reasons: the hobby has moved down their priority list, they've discovered free design tools that suit their needs, or they prefer buying individual designs on demand rather than paying monthly. Some cancel because they accidentally bought it during a trial period or through a device they no longer use. Others realise the annual upfront cost doesn't align with their actual crafting frequency. Understanding your own reason helps you feel confident in your decision to cancel.

Cricut's pricing tiers for australian customers

Here's what you're actually paying across Cricut's main plans when you buy through Australian channels.

How australian pricing works and where to check it

Cricut's global prices are published in USD, but Australian marketplace listings show you the exact AUD amount you'll pay. Always cross-check your account statement or renewal notice to confirm your exact billing amount, because promotional pricing or regional variations can apply. If you purchased through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, your billing amount may differ slightly from the Cricut website price due to platform fees and local tax treatment.

Your consumer rights before you cancel

You need to know what Australian Consumer Law guarantees you when cancelling a subscription service.

What australian consumer law says about cancellations

Under the Australian Consumer Law (part of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010), you have the right to cancel a paid subscription within 14 days of purchase or signup, provided you have not used the service beyond the purpose of testing it. This is your "cooling off" right. If Cricut charged you without your informed consent, or if you signed up during a trial period that you did not authorise, you can request a refund. After 14 days, you're not automatically entitled to a refund unless Cricut breaches its contract terms or the Australian Consumer Law is otherwise violated. However, Cricut's terms may allow you to cancel at any time, with your subscription ending at the end of your current billing cycle-meaning you stop paying future charges but don't receive a pro-rata refund for unused days in the current cycle. Your legal position is this: you can almost certainly cancel the subscription itself immediately, but whether you receive a refund depends on when you bought it and Cricut's stated cancellation policy.

Which regulator backs your rights

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) enforces consumer rights across subscription services. If Cricut refuses to cancel your subscription, refuses to honour your cooling-off period, or charges you after you've asked to cancel, you can lodge a complaint with the ACCC's consumer complaints portal at accc.gov.au. Tocancel recommends documenting every communication you have with Cricut-save screenshots of cancellation confirmations, billing statements and support emails-so you have evidence if you need to escalate.

How to cancel your Cricut subscription on your account page

Your cancellation method depends on which platform you used to buy the subscription. Most Australian users manage their subscription directly through Cricut's website, but some purchased through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store and must cancel there instead.

Cancel directly through cricut's website (myaccount.cricut.com)

This is the fastest and most straightforward method for most Australian subscribers. Follow these steps carefully to ensure your cancellation goes through without error.

1. Open your web browser and visit myaccount.cricut.com
   • Make sure you're on the official Cricut account page, not a third-party site or phishing page
2. Log in with your email address and password
   • If you've forgotten your password, click "Forgot password?" and reset it before continuing
   • Use two-factor authentication if Cricut prompts you to verify your identity
3. Look for the "Subscription" or "Membership" tab in your account dashboard
   • This is usually in the left-hand navigation menu or under "Account Settings"
   • If you don't see it immediately, scroll down or look under "Billing"
4. Click on your active Cricut Access plan
   • You should see your current plan name, billing date and renewal amount
5. Select "Cancel plan" or "Cancel subscription"
   • Cricut will ask you to confirm the cancellation and may offer you a discount to stay-you can ignore this offer if you're certain
6. Confirm the cancellation by clicking the final "Yes, cancel" button
   • Cricut will display a confirmation message on screen and send a confirmation email to your registered address
7. Save or screenshot your cancellation confirmation
   • Keep this as evidence that you cancelled on your intended date

Your subscription will end at the end of your current billing cycle. You will not be charged again after that date, but you keep access to the full library until your cycle ends. Tocancel recommends you check your account one week before your renewal date to confirm the cancellation stuck-sometimes technical glitches prevent the cancellation from taking effect.

Cancel if you bought through apple app store

If you subscribed to Cricut Access through your Apple device, you must cancel through the App Store, not through Cricut's website, because Apple manages the billing relationship.

1. Open the App Store app on your iPhone, iPad or Mac
   • Do not use the Cricut app itself-you must go through the App Store
2. Tap your profile icon in the top right corner
   • On Mac, click your name in the top right and select "Account Settings"
3. Tap "Subscriptions"
   • You'll see a list of all your active App Store subscriptions
4. Find "Cricut Design Space" or "Cricut" in the list and tap it
   • If you don't see it, you may not have a subscription or it's already cancelled
5. Tap "Cancel subscription" or "Edit subscription"
   • Apple will ask you to confirm; tap "Confirm"
6. Save a screenshot of the cancellation confirmation
   • Apple will also send you an email confirmation-save this too

Your subscription will end at the end of your current billing period. Apple processes the cancellation immediately, so you won't be charged on your next renewal date.

Cancel if you bought through google play store

If you subscribed via Google Play on an Android device, you must cancel through Google Play, not through Cricut's website, because Google manages your billing relationship.

1. Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device
   • Do not use the Cricut app itself
2. Tap your profile icon in the top right corner
   • Select "Payments and subscriptions"
3. Tap "Subscriptions"
   • You'll see all your active Play Store subscriptions
4. Find "Cricut Design Space" in the list and tap it
   • If it's not there, your subscription may already be cancelled
5. Tap "Cancel subscription"
   • Google will ask why you're cancelling-you can skip this or answer if you wish
6. Confirm the cancellation when prompted
   • Google will send you an email confirmation; save this

Your subscription ends on your next renewal date. Google does not charge you again after the cancellation takes effect.

What happens to your Cricut account after cancellation

Cancelling your Cricut Access membership doesn't delete your account or your saved designs.

Your access after the billing cycle ends

Once your current billing cycle expires and you're no longer a paying member, you revert to the free Cricut tier. You keep your Design Space account, your project history and any designs you've created-these never disappear. However, you lose access to the premium design library, member-exclusive fonts and project templates. You can still use the free library and create or cut designs with the basic tools. If you ever want to re-subscribe, you can do so at any time, and your designs and account history will be waiting for you.

Your design files and project history

All projects and custom designs you created remain in your Design Space library forever. They're tied to your Cricut account, not to your membership status. If you re-subscribe later, you'll see all your old projects exactly as you saved them. Cricut does not delete or restrict access to your own work when you cancel.

Refunds: what you can expect and how to claim one

Whether you qualify for a refund depends on when you purchased and Cricut's stated cancellation terms.

The 14-day cooling-off rule

If you bought Cricut Access within the last 14 days, you can request a full refund under the Australian Consumer Law's cooling-off period, provided you haven't substantially used the service beyond testing it. Email Cricut's support team at help.cricut.com with your order number and account details, and ask for a refund under the cooling-off clause. Be clear and direct: "I am requesting a refund within the 14-day cooling-off period under the Australian Consumer Law." Cricut must respond within a reasonable timeframe-typically 7 to 10 business days. If they refuse, you can lodge a complaint with the ACCC.

Refunds after 14 days

After 14 days, Cricut's cancellation policy typically does not include a pro-rata refund for unused days in your current billing cycle. For example, if you're on a monthly plan and cancel on day 20 of a 30-day cycle, you won't receive a refund for those 10 unused days. However, you will not be charged for the next cycle. Always check Cricut's current terms and conditions, because their policy may change. Tocancel recommends cancelling on or very close to your renewal date if you want to avoid "paying for a month you won't use."

What to do if Cricut overcharges you

If you cancelled but were still charged, or if you were charged multiple times for the same subscription, contact Cricut's support team immediately. Provide screenshots of your cancellation confirmation, your billing statement showing the unwanted charge and any email correspondence. Ask for a refund of the overcharge. If Cricut refuses or doesn't respond within 10 business days, lodge a complaint with the ACCC at accc.gov.au or contact your bank to dispute the charge. Your bank can often reverse unauthorised charges if Cricut won't cooperate.

Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling

Cancellation feels simple, but small errors can leave you paying longer than you intended. Here are the traps most Australian users fall into.

Uninstalling the app instead of cancelling the subscription

Deleting the Cricut app from your phone or computer does not cancel your subscription. The billing relationship continues in the background, and you'll be charged at your next renewal date. You must actively cancel through the website, App Store or Google Play-deleting the app is just housekeeping. Always cancel the subscription first, then uninstall the app.

Assuming your trial period ended automatically

If you signed up for a free trial, you must cancel before the trial ends or Cricut will charge you for a paid plan. Cricut doesn't send reminder emails before the charge goes through. Log into your account at myaccount.cricut.com, check your subscription status and cancel if you don't want to be charged. Do this at least 2 days before your trial expires to avoid the charge.

Cancelling through the wrong platform

If you bought through the Apple App Store, cancelling through Cricut's website won't work-Apple still owns the billing relationship. The same applies if you bought through Google Play. Always cancel through the platform where you bought it. Check your original receipt or billing statement to confirm which platform you used.

Not saving your cancellation confirmation

Take a screenshot of your cancellation confirmation email or the on-screen confirmation message. If Cricut's system glitches and charges you again, you'll need proof that you cancelled on a specific date. This evidence is essential if you need to dispute the charge with your bank or lodge a complaint with the ACCC.

Cancelling mid-cycle and expecting a pro-rata refund

Cricut's standard policy is to end your subscription at the end of your billing cycle, not refund unused days. If you cancel on day 10 of a 30-day monthly cycle, you pay for the full month. Plan your cancellation date with this in mind-ideally, cancel a few days before your next renewal date so you use most of the cycle.

Checklist: confirming your cancellation worked

After you cancel, use this checklist to confirm everything went through.

Your next steps: taking control of your subscriptions

You now have the knowledge to cancel Cricut Access confidently and know your rights under Australian Consumer Law. Tocancel has helped thousands of Australian consumers take back control of their subscriptions and stop paying for services they no longer use. The next time you're tempted to sign up for a subscription-whether it's Cricut or any other service-pause and ask yourself: "Will I use this regularly, or will it become another forgotten charge?" Many Australians discover they're paying for multiple unused memberships; a quick audit of your email could reveal other subscriptions worth cancelling too.

If Cricut refuses to cancel, overcharges you or ignores your refund request, Tocancel recommends you escalate immediately. Contact the ACCC at accc.gov.au, or ask your bank to dispute the charge. Your consumer rights are real and enforceable, and companies rely on your silence-don't stay silent. Document everything, stay calm and persistent, and remember that you are the customer, not the other way around. Tocancel stands with you in that principle.
