Brainly is described as a “peer-to-peer learning platform for students, parents, and teachers to ask and answer homework questions.” In addition, the platform has games to help motivate students. This may have been a valuable resource to you or your children at some point, but perhaps you are ready to say bye-bye to Brainly.
We will give you several different methods to cancel your Brainly subscription – depending on how you purchased it in the first place. The bad news is that Brainly doesn’t have an easy-to-find customer service number that you can call to take care of the process or ask questions. Instead, you will have to log into your online account and follow the steps to sever ties.

How to Cancel a Deceased Loved One’s Brainly Subscription
We would like to offer our sympathy if you recently lost a loved one. We know you are probably overwhelmed with all there is to do after a family member dies. Funeral planning and closing accounts can be overwhelming.
It has been suggested that you prioritize your tasks and complete time-sensitive items first. For example, besides planning the funeral, you need to order copies of your loved one’s death certificate, which the executor of the estate may need to distribute assets and close accounts.
Of course, you may also need to contact companies where your loved one held accounts. In fact, if your loved one’s credit and debit cards are suspended, subscription services similar to Brainly may automatically be canceled when the payment for the renewal isn’t received.
However, if you would rather contact Brainly and other companies that your loved one interacted with to see if the estate can receive a refund for unused subscriptions, here is the contact form to use. Explain that your loved one recently died, and you would like to cancel their membership. You might need to supply your loved one’s email, phone number, or user name to complete the process.
Frequently Asked Questions: Canceling a Brainly Subscription
Do you have other questions about canceling your Brainly subscription? You can ask them directly to the company by filling out and submitting this contact form. Otherwise, here is what we discovered about these two popular questions.
Can you get a refund if you cancel a Brainly subscription?
The Brainly website states the following: “Canceling your subscription will simply stop future charges to your card and does not entitle you to a refund for your previous usage of Brainly Plus.” There is no mention of prorated refunds.
However, if you feel entitled to a refund, the Brainly website also offers this advice.
“If you are unsatisfied with your Brainly Plus subscription and would like to request an immediate termination and refund, please contact us by writing to subscriptions@brainly.com.” The instructions further state that to streamline the process, users should include the email address associated with your Brainly account or provide your Brainly profile URL so they can locate your account.
It is worth noting that if you purchased a Brainly subscription through Apple, you need to request your refund through Apple.
According to posts from users, Brainly doesn’t often provide refunds to users who forget to cancel the membership after their free trial.
What happens if you cancel a Brainly subscription?
You will have access to all of your content regardless of your subscription status. Even if you cancel your subscription, your Brainly account will remain active. However, you will immediately be downgraded to the basic plan. This means that you will not have an ad-free experience, and your access to the content will be limited.
On the bright side, if you cancel your subscription, you’ll still have access to all your previous questions and answers.
