Keep it for less

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

  • Free plan Let the subscription lapse: the account reverts to a free account on its expiration date, and stats pages can be restored by renewing later on the same account letterboxd.com letterboxd.com
  • Cheaper plan Patron to Pro: cancel your subscription, then re-subscribe at the lower tier once it ends letterboxd.com

For AI agents

  • The person signs in and handles any two-factor code; an agent should never ask for a password.
  • A subscription bought in the iOS or Android app is cancelled in Apple Account or Google Play Store settings, not on the website
  • There is no monthly option: all subscriptions are charged annually and renew unless cancelled first
  • Switching payment method? Turn off auto-renewal first, or you may pay twice
  • Transfer a subscription before you deactivate the account; deactivating hides the account and disables sign-in
  • The deactivation guide doesn't mention subscriptions, so cancel the subscription before deactivating or deleting the account
  • Only one refund per account, and only within the first 30 days

Get this plan as data: get_exit_plan on the Stackcut MCP (stackcut.io/mcp), or /exits/letterboxd.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).
