Cancel Mubi: Step-by-Step Guide

How to cancel Mubi in canada and protect your streaming budget

Understanding Mubi and why you might want to cancel

Mubi is a curated streaming platform that prioritizes quality over quantity, offering a rotating selection of films, original editorial content and a digital magazine. Unlike mainstream services with massive catalogues, Mubi refreshes its library regularly and appeals to film enthusiasts who value curation over convenience. You can access Mubi through its website, mobile apps on iOS and Android, and third-party platforms like Apple TV, Google Play, Amazon Prime Channels and Roku.

If you've subscribed and now want to cancel, you're likely experiencing one of several common scenarios: you've finished exploring the catalogue, the subscription no longer fits your viewing habits, you're managing multiple streaming expenses, or you simply want to take a break. Whatever your reason, Tocancel understands that cancelling should be straightforward and stress-free.

When you should cancel Mubi

You should consider cancelling if you're not watching regularly, you've exhausted the content that appeals to you, or you're tightening your subscription budget. Many Canadians underestimate how quickly streaming costs accumulate, and cancelling even one service you don't actively use frees up cash for priorities. Tocancel recommends reviewing your active subscriptions every quarter to catch services you've forgotten about but are still paying for.

When you might keep your Mubi subscription

Keep Mubi if you're a serious film enthusiast, you enjoy discovering indie and international cinema, or you value access to film criticism and editorial content beyond the streaming library itself. If you use it at least twice weekly, the subscription likely delivers value. However, if you're unsure, you can always cancel and resubscribe later without penalty.

Mubi subscription plans and pricing in canada

Before you cancel, understand what you're paying for and whether a different plan might suit you better.

If cost is your main concern, the annual plan saves you nearly $50 compared to paying monthly. Alternatively, switching to the free tier lets you explore Mubi occasionally without commitment. However, if you're set on cancelling entirely, the steps below will guide you through each platform.

Your consumer rights before you cancel

As a Canadian consumer, you have clear legal protections under the Consumer Protection Act in your province and federal regulations governing digital services. Your legal position is straightforward: you have the right to cancel any subscription service, and Mubi cannot force you to stay or impose unreasonable barriers to cancellation.

What the consumer protection act means for you

Canada's Consumer Protection Act (federal) and provincial equivalents require that businesses offer a clear, accessible cancellation method. This means Mubi must provide a cancellation option that is equally simple as the original purchase. The business cannot hide cancellation behind automatic renewals, mandatory phone calls, or deliberately obscured account settings. If Mubi makes cancellation deliberately difficult, you have grounds to file a complaint with your provincial consumer protection agency.

Your right to a refund

If you cancel before your billing date, you should not be charged for the next period. If Mubi charges you after you cancel, you have the right to request a refund. Under Canadian law, services cannot charge for access you did not consent to. Tocancel advises keeping documentation of your cancellation confirmation to support any refund request.

How to cancel Mubi based on your subscription method

Your cancellation path depends on where you subscribed and who bills you. Tocancel breaks down every scenario to ensure you cancel the right way the first time.

Cancel a Mubi subscription purchased through the Mubi website

If you subscribed directly through mubi.com and Mubi bills your payment method, follow these steps to cancel online:

1. Visit mubi.com and sign in with your email and password
   • If you've forgotten your password, use the "Forgot password" link on the login page
2. Click on your profile icon or account menu (usually top-right corner)
3. Select "Account," "Settings" or "Subscription" (exact wording varies by interface version)
4. Locate your active subscription or membership details section
5. Click "Cancel subscription" or "Cancel membership"
6. Confirm the cancellation when prompted; the system may ask why you're leaving
   • You can provide feedback or skip this step - it is optional
7. Check your email for a cancellation confirmation within 15 minutes

Pro tip: Take a screenshot of the cancellation confirmation. You will keep access to Mubi until the end of your current billing period, even after cancellation is complete.

Cancel a Mubi subscription purchased through apple TV channels

If you subscribed to Mubi through Apple TV Channels on iPhone, iPad, Mac or Apple TV device, you must cancel through Apple, not through Mubi directly. Follow these steps:

1. Open the Apple TV app on your device
   • On iPhone or iPad: tap the account icon at the bottom right
   • On Mac: click "Account" in the top menu bar
   • On Apple TV: go to Settings > Users and Accounts, then select your account
2. Tap or click "View Apple ID"
3. Select "Subscriptions"
4. Find "Mubi" in your active subscriptions list
5. Click "Edit" or tap on Mubi, then select "Cancel Subscription"
6. Confirm the cancellation

You will receive a cancellation confirmation email from Apple. Your Mubi access ends at the conclusion of your current billing period.

Cancel a Mubi subscription purchased through google play

If you subscribed to Mubi through Google Play on an Android device or through the Google Play website, cancel using these steps:

1. Open the Google Play app on your Android device, or visit play.google.com in a browser
2. Tap your profile icon (top-right corner)
3. Select "Manage subscriptions" or "Payments and subscriptions"
4. Choose "Manage subscriptions"
5. Find and tap "Mubi"
6. Tap "Cancel subscription"
7. Select your cancellation reason and confirm

Google Play will send you a confirmation email. Mubi access continues until your next scheduled renewal date.

Cancel a Mubi subscription purchased through amazon prime video channels

If Mubi is an add-on channel through Amazon Prime Video, you must cancel it through Amazon, not Mubi. Follow these steps:

1. Visit amazon.ca and sign in to your account
2. Hover over "Accounts & Lists" and select "Your Account"
3. Scroll to "Memberships and subscriptions" and click "Manage subscriptions"
   • Alternatively, go directly to amazon.ca/cbs
4. Find "Mubi" under Prime Video Channels
5. Click "Edit" or the three-dot menu next to Mubi
6. Select "Cancel Channel"
7. Confirm your cancellation

Amazon will email you a confirmation. Mubi access ends at the end of your current billing cycle.

Cancel a Mubi subscription purchased through roku

If you subscribed to Mubi through a Roku device, cancel using these steps:

1. Press the Home button on your Roku remote
2. Navigate to "Subscriptions"
3. Find "Mubi" in your active subscriptions
4. Highlight it and press the OK button on your remote
5. Select "Manage subscription" or "Cancel"
6. Follow the prompts to confirm cancellation

Roku will send a confirmation. Your Mubi access ends on the last day of your billing period.

What happens after you cancel

Understanding the post-cancellation timeline helps you plan your viewing and avoid unexpected charges.

Your access timeline after cancellation

Once you cancel, you retain full access to Mubi for the remainder of your current billing period. This is a key consumer protection: you pay through the end of the period, so you receive the service through that date. After your final billing date passes, Mubi removes your account access. You can resubscribe at any time if you change your mind.

Getting a refund

Tocancel advises checking your situation carefully: if you cancel before your next billing date, you should not be charged again, and no refund is typically necessary. However, if Mubi charges you after you submit a cancellation request, you have the right to demand a refund. Contact Mubi through its support channel or your payment provider (Apple, Google, Amazon or Roku) and reference your cancellation confirmation.

Most refund requests are processed within 5 to 10 business days. If Mubi or your third-party platform refuses a legitimate refund claim, escalate to your provincial consumer protection office or file a chargeback through your credit card or bank.

Common cancellation mistakes and how to avoid them

Many people believe they've cancelled only to discover the service still charges them. This frustration is preventable with the right approach.

Mistake 1: cancelling through the wrong platform

If you subscribed through Apple TV, Google Play, Amazon or Roku, you must cancel through that platform, not through mubi.com. Logging into Mubi directly and requesting cancellation there will not work. Your payment and account management occur on the third-party platform, so that's where cancellation authority lies. Before cancelling, identify exactly where you made your payment, then follow the corresponding steps above.

Mistake 2: not keeping your confirmation

After cancellation, screenshots matter. Save or print your cancellation confirmation email immediately. If Mubi charges you after cancellation, your confirmation is the proof you need to request a refund. Without documentation, you'll struggle to prove you cancelled when you claim you did.

Mistake 3: confusing cancellation with account deletion

Cancelling your subscription does not delete your account. Your profile, watchlist and viewing history remain in Mubi's system. If you want to erase your account entirely, contact Mubi support separately after cancellation and request full account deletion under Canadian privacy law (PIPEDA). However, standard cancellation simply stops billing and access.

Mistake 4: cancelling on the wrong day

If your billing date is the 15th of each month and you cancel on the 14th, you'll be charged on the 15th for the next period. To avoid an extra charge, cancel after your most recent billing date but as early as possible in your cycle. For example, if your billing date is the 1st, cancel any day between the 2nd and 30th.

If Mubi refuses to cancel or continues charging

You have legal remedies if Mubi makes cancellation impossible or charges you after a confirmed cancellation.

Step 1: contact Mubi support directly

Visit mubi.com and use the Help or Contact section to reach Mubi support. Explain that you cancelled but are still being charged, and attach your cancellation confirmation. Give Mubi 10 business days to respond and issue a refund.

Step 2: escalate to your payment provider

If Mubi doesn't respond, contact Apple, Google, Amazon or Roku (whichever platform you used). Explain that you cancelled the subscription but were charged anyway. These platforms have their own refund processes and often side with consumers in clear cases of unauthorized billing.

Step 3: file a complaint with your provincial consumer protection authority

Canada's provinces regulate consumer protection independently. Tocancel recommends filing a formal complaint with your provincial ministry or office of consumer protection. Examples include the British Columbia Consumer Protection Office, Ontario's ServiceOntario, or Alberta's Fair Trading Act enforcement body. These agencies have authority to investigate Mubi and force refunds or service improvements.

Step 4: dispute the charge with your bank or credit card company

If Mubi charged you without authorization after you cancelled, file a chargeback or dispute with your financial institution. Most banks will reverse unauthorized charges within 30 to 60 days if you provide evidence of cancellation.

Common questions about cancelling Mubi

Do i get a refund if i cancel mid-cycle?

No. You retain access through the end of your current billing period, and that access is your refund. You are not charged again after cancellation, so your money is protected. You do not receive a prorated refund for unused days.

Can i pause instead of cancel?

Mubi does not offer a pause or temporary suspension feature. Your only options are to remain subscribed or cancel. If you think you'll return, cancel now and resubscribe later without penalty.

Will i lose my watchlist?

Your watchlist and account history remain on Mubi even after cancellation. If you resubscribe in the future using the same email address, your list will still be there. Only full account deletion removes this data.

How long does cancellation take?

Cancellation is immediate. You receive confirmation within 15 minutes. Your access to the platform continues until the end of your billing period.
