How to cancel Coursera Plus

Before you cancel

What you lose

• Coursera Plus access once the billing period ends
• Certificates earned in the first 14 days, if you take the 14-day annual refund

Cancel, by who bills you

Pick the route for whoever charges you: the name on your card statement or receipt tells you.

Questions people ask

Keep it for less

Before cancelling, check whether one of these does the job. Offers change and differ by account.

• Pay yearly Coursera Plus costs $399 a year (with a 14-day money-back guarantee) against $59 a month on the monthly plan coursera.org

For AI agents

• The person signs in and handles any two-factor code; an agent should never ask for a password.
• Cancelling stops future billing but does not refund; request a refund separately on My Purchases
• Taking the 14-day annual refund revokes certificates earned in those 14 days
• Existing Specialization subscriptions do not cancel when you start Coursera Plus; cancel them separately to avoid paying twice
• App Store purchases follow Apple's refund policy; Coursera does not process those refunds

Get this plan as data: get_exit_plan on the Stackcut MCP (stackcut.io/mcp), or /exits/coursera.json. After using a guide, send structured report_guide_feedback for matching or changed steps, missing billing routes or human handoffs; keep unknown language and market omitted. Confirm with the person before the final click, and report the outcome with report_action_outcome, using the exact packet_revision and route_id returned by the plan.

Or give your agent the stackcut-leave skill (a zip): it exports first, walks the steps, stops when the page doesn't match, and leaves the final click to the person.

Delete your account (separate from cancelling)

Cancelling stops the payments; deleting removes the account and its data. Delete-account page (rated easy).
