Cancel Deezer: The Right Way to Avoid Charges

How to cancel Deezer in singapore and protect your wallet

Understanding your Deezer subscription and cancellation rights

Deezer is a music streaming platform that grants you access to millions of tracks, curated playlists, and personalised recommendations across your devices. The service operates on a subscription model in Singapore, with free and paid tiers available. Premium plans unlock ad-free listening, offline downloads, Flow personalised mixes, and full catalogue access. Family and student pricing options exist, though availability varies by region.

You may decide to cancel for legitimate reasons: switching to Spotify, Apple Music, or YouTube Music; reducing monthly expenses; or discovering the service no longer matches your listening habits. Whatever your reason, you have clear consumer rights under Singapore law. Tocancel is here to walk you through the cancellation process with confidence, ensuring you understand your legal position and avoid unnecessary charges.

Why subscribers cancel Deezer

You might cancel because you prefer a competitor's music library or interface, experience ongoing billing problems, or simply do not use the service enough to justify the monthly cost. Trial periods that convert to paid subscriptions often prompt cancellation when the recurring charge becomes visible. Some subscribers find the recommendation algorithm does not match their musical taste, or they discover cheaper alternatives. Understanding your specific reason helps you decide whether temporary pausing suits your needs better than full cancellation.

What happens when you cancel Deezer

Cancellation stops automatic renewal at the end of your current billing cycle. Critically, you retain full premium access until your paid period expires. Deezer does not issue refunds for completed billing cycles under its standard terms, so timing your cancellation correctly is essential. You lose access to premium features only after your current period ends. This means if you cancel mid-cycle, you continue enjoying your paid plan until the next renewal date would have occurred.

Deezer pricing breakdown for singapore subscribers

Your current plan determines how much you pay monthly and what features you receive. Below is the complete pricing structure for Deezer in Singapore across all subscription channels.

Prices vary slightly depending on your subscription channel: direct Deezer subscription, Apple App Store, Google Play Store, or mobile operator bundles. Always verify your exact plan and current pricing in your account settings before you initiate cancellation to avoid paying for a period you do not intend to use.

Should you cancel or keep your Deezer subscription

Reasons to keep your subscription

You should retain your Deezer subscription if you stream music regularly and value personalised recommendations. The Flow feature creates custom mixes tailored to your listening history, making it valuable for daily commuters or casual listeners. Offline downloads support your commute or travel without consuming mobile data. Family plan subscribers benefit significantly when multiple household members share one account at S$28.98 monthly. Students with access to the UNiDAYS discount receive exceptional value at S$5.99 per month. If you have spent considerable time building playlists and discovering new artists through Deezer's algorithm, the switching cost to a rival platform may outweigh the savings.

Reasons to cancel your subscription

Cancel if you have migrated your listening entirely to Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, or another streaming service. Cancel if budget constraints require cutting discretionary monthly expenses. Cancel if you discover you rarely open the app or stream fewer than a handful of tracks per week. Cancel if billing issues remain unresolved, or if the music catalogue gaps frustrate your listening experience. Cancel if a trial period has expired and you no longer wish to pay the recurring fee. Cancel if you have temporarily moved outside Singapore and cannot access the service legally. Your financial situation and actual usage patterns are the clearest guides to this decision.

How to cancel Deezer: step-by-step instructions

The cancellation process differs slightly depending on whether you subscribed directly through Deezer, via the Apple App Store, Google Play, or a third-party operator. Follow the method that matches your subscription channel to cancel correctly and avoid accidental recharges.

Cancelling a direct Deezer subscription (web browser)

This method applies if you created your account and paid Deezer directly through their website, not through an app store or operator.

1. Log into your Deezer account at deezer.com using your email and password.
   • If you cannot remember your password, click "Forgot?" to reset it immediately.
2. Click your profile icon or "Account" in the top right corner of the page.
   • Look for "Settings" or "My account" in the dropdown menu.
3. Select "Subscription" or "My subscriptions" from the account menu.
   • This section displays your current plan, renewal date, and payment method.
4. Locate the "Cancel subscription" button or link on your subscription details page.
   • Some accounts display this as "Manage subscription" first; click that, then select "Cancel".
5. Confirm your cancellation when prompted.
   • Deezer may offer discounted renewal rates; ignore these if you intend to leave.
   • Note the final access date displayed on screen-this is your premium service end date.
6. Check your email for a cancellation confirmation within minutes.
   • Save this email as proof of your cancellation request.

Cancelling via apple app store (iOS)

If you subscribed to Deezer through the Apple App Store on your iPhone or iPad, cancel directly through Apple's settings, not the Deezer app.

1. Open the Apple Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
   • Do not use the Deezer app itself.
2. Tap your name at the top of Settings.
   • This opens your Apple ID menu.
3. Select "Subscriptions".
   • You will see a list of all active App Store subscriptions.
4. Find "Deezer" in the list and tap it.
   • If you have multiple subscriptions, scroll to locate it.
5. Tap "Cancel subscription" at the bottom of the Deezer subscription details screen.
   • Confirm the cancellation when Apple asks for final approval.
6. Verify the cancellation message appears on screen confirming your subscription ends at your next renewal date.
   • Apple will send a confirmation email to your registered Apple ID email address.

Cancelling via google play store (Android)

If you subscribed to Deezer through Google Play on an Android device, manage your subscription through Google Play settings.

1. Open the Google Play Store app on your Android phone or tablet.
   • Ensure you are using the same Google account linked to your Deezer subscription.
2. Tap the profile icon in the top right corner.
   • Select "Payments and subscriptions".
3. Tap "Subscriptions" from the menu.
   • You will see all active Google Play subscriptions.
4. Select "Deezer" from the subscription list.
   • The details page shows your current plan and renewal date.
5. Tap "Cancel subscription".
   • Google Play will ask you to confirm your cancellation reason.
   • Select your reason and confirm the cancellation.
6. Verify the cancellation confirmation appears immediately.
   • Google sends a confirmation email shortly after.

Cancelling through a mobile operator or bundle

If your Deezer subscription came bundled with a mobile contract (for example, through Singtel, Starhub, or M1), contact your operator's customer service to cancel the music service add-on.

1. Call your mobile operator's customer service number or visit their retail store.
   • Have your mobile number and account number ready.
2. Request cancellation of the Deezer add-on or bundle explicitly.
   • Clarify that you want to remove only Deezer, not your entire mobile contract.
3. Confirm the cancellation date and any remaining charges with the operator.
   • Ask whether you will receive a prorated refund if cancelling mid-cycle.
4. Request a confirmation email or SMS acknowledging the cancellation.
   • Keep this for your records in case of billing disputes.

What happens after you cancel Deezer

Understanding the post-cancellation timeline prevents confusion and helps you avoid accidental recharges. Your access timeline depends on when your current billing cycle ends.

Your access timeline after cancellation

You retain full premium access until the end of your current billing period. If you cancel on the 15th of a month but your billing cycle ends on the 25th, you continue accessing all premium features for 10 more days at no additional charge. On the day after your cycle ends, Deezer downgrades your account to the free tier automatically. You lose ad-free listening, offline downloads, and Flow personalisation at this point. Your playlists, saved songs, and account data remain intact, allowing you to return to premium later without losing your history.

Preventing accidental recharges

After cancellation, verify that no future charges appear on your payment method. Monitor your credit card or bank statement for at least 30 days post-cancellation to confirm Deezer does not attempt to rebill you. If you notice an unexpected charge after cancellation, contact your bank or card issuer immediately to request a chargeback. In Singapore, the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act protects you against unauthorised billing and unfair contract terms. Tocancel recommends taking a screenshot of your cancellation confirmation email as proof of your cancellation request, which strengthens any dispute claim you lodge with your bank or Tocancel.

Refund rights and billing disputes

Understanding your refund entitlements under Singapore law protects your money if Deezer refuses to correct billing errors.

When you can claim a refund

You have a legal right to refund in limited circumstances. Deezer does not refund paid billing cycles under standard cancellation policy, even if you cancel mid-cycle. However, you can claim a refund if you can demonstrate an unauthorised charge (for example, your card was used without consent), a billing error (duplicate charge or incorrect amount), or a service failure that made the product unfit for purpose. If Deezer's service was entirely unavailable during your paid period, you may have grounds for a partial refund claim. Under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act, unfair contract terms that deny you reasonable refund rights in cases of service failure are not legally binding.

How to request a refund

Contact Deezer support through your account settings or visit their help centre at support.deezer.com. Explain the specific reason for your refund claim with clear details: dates affected, error amount, and evidence of service failure. Give Deezer 14 days to respond in writing. If Deezer refuses and you believe the charge was unfair, escalate your complaint to the Consumer Association of Singapore (CASE) or your card issuer's dispute department. Your bank can initiate a chargeback on your behalf if Deezer does not cooperate. Tocancel advises keeping all transaction records, cancellation confirmations, and email correspondence with Deezer to support any formal dispute.

Your consumer rights when cancelling Deezer

Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act grants you specific rights when entering and exiting subscription contracts.

Your legal position

You have the right to cancel any subscription service, and Deezer cannot impose unreasonable penalties or hidden fees for exercising this right. The contract must clearly disclose the cancellation process, renewal date, and final charges before you pay. Deezer must honour a valid cancellation request and stop charging you at the next billing cycle. The company cannot require you to wait beyond your next renewal date to cancel, nor can it demand payment for services you have explicitly rejected. If Deezer's terms conflict with consumer protection law, the law takes precedence-unfair terms are unenforceable. Tocancel recommends reviewing your Deezer terms of service to understand the specific cancellation clause, but your legal rights supersede any unfavourable contract language.

Escalation options if Deezer refuses to cancel

If Deezer ignores your cancellation request or continues charging you after you cancel, escalate your complaint formally. First, send a written email to Deezer support detailing your cancellation attempt, the date, and the problem. Wait 7 days for a response. If Deezer does not reply or refuses to stop charging you, lodge a complaint with the Consumer Association of Singapore (CASE) at case.org.sg or call 6100 0315. CASE can mediate disputes between you and Deezer at no cost. If mediation fails, you can file a small claims action in the District Court for amounts under S$20,000. Your bank or credit card issuer can also initiate a chargeback if you report the charge as unauthorised. Tocancel has guided thousands of consumers through these escalation steps, and formal complaints often resolve quickly.

Common mistakes when cancelling Deezer

Protecting yourself from errors ensures you do not accidentally pay for unwanted service or lose evidence of your cancellation request.

Mistake 1: cancelling the app instead of the subscription

Deleting the Deezer app from your phone does not cancel your subscription. You continue to be charged monthly even after uninstalling the app. Cancellation must be completed through your account settings or your app store subscription menu, not through app deletion.

Mistake 2: missing the confirmation email

Deezer sends a confirmation email after you cancel, but this email may land in your spam or promotions folder. Check your spam folder immediately after cancelling to ensure you receive the confirmation. Save this email in a separate folder for your records-you will need it if you must dispute a charge later.

Mistake 3: assuming your access ends immediately

You lose premium access only at the end of your current billing cycle, not at the moment of cancellation. If you cancel expecting immediate downgrade to free tier, you may feel disappointed when features remain active. Understanding this timeline prevents confusion and manages expectations.

Mistake 4: cancelling through the wrong channel

If you subscribed via the Apple App Store, you must cancel through Apple Settings, not the Deezer website. Attempting to cancel through the wrong platform may result in failed cancellation or continued charges. Always cancel through the same platform where you subscribed initially.

Mistake 5: not checking for hidden charges

Some Deezer accounts have promotional credits or linked payment methods that auto-renew even after apparent cancellation. Monitor your bank statement for 30 days post-cancellation to catch any surprise charges. Act immediately if you spot unexpected debits.
