Can I go back to my previous plan after upgrading?

Learn how to downgrade your plan to a cheaper one.

Written by Drosoula Siamantoura

Yes — if you've upgraded your Blinkist subscription and want to return to a lower plan, you can downgrade your subscription through your account settings.

When does the change take effect?

Downgrading takes effect at the end of your current billing cycle. You'll keep access to your upgraded plan's features until then.

How to downgrade

In the app

  • Go to Settings.

  • Tap on "Cancel Subscription" or "Reactivate Subscription".

  • Under the Account tab, scroll down and tap on "Change payment method".

  • Tap on "Update Subscription".

  • Select the plan you'd like to switch to.

  • Follow the prompts from your app store to confirm: the change will be managed directly through your app store's subscription settings

On the website

  • Go to blinkist.com/settings and sign in if prompted.

  • Under the Account tab, scroll down and tap on "Change payment method".

  • Click on "Update Subscription".

  • Select the plan you'd like to switch to.

  • Confirm the change.

What changes after I downgrade?

Once the downgrade takes effect at the end of your billing cycle, you'll lose access to the features exclusive to your current plan. For example:

  • Downgrading from Platinum removes access to Live Sessions and Infographics.

  • Downgrading from Pro removes access to Blinkist AI.

Will I be refunded the difference in price once I downgrade?

Downgrading doesn't automatically trigger a refund for the remainder of your current billing period. If you believe you're entitled to a refund, please contact our Support Team at [email protected], and we will be happy to assist you.
