Part 4.How to Know Your Deezer Subscription Is Canceled
How can you know your Deezer subscription has been cancelled? You can check your account credentials, find the confirmation email in your inbox, verify the third-party billing, or see your plan options.
Check Your Account: Browse your status on the Deezer Account page. If you have cancelled it successfully, your current plan will remain active until your billing expires.
Find the Confirmation Email: Open your email inbox to search for a message from Deezer confirming your cancellation.
Verify Third-Party Billing: If you subscribed through Apple, Google, or a movie provider, verify the cancellation through that specific service's subscription manager rather than directly on Deezer.
See Your Plan Options: If the option to "Cancel subscription" is missing, and the Deezer app only offers "See plans," you have already cancelled your subscription, and now you are on the Free tier.
Part 5. What Happens If You Cancel Your Deezer Premium Subscription?
If you have canceled your Deezer Premium subscription, you return to the free, ad-supported tier when your current billing cycle ends. Still, you have access to your playlists and favorite tracks, but you cannot enjoy downloaded music. For more details, keep reading.
- Complete Your Paid Time: You will still enjoy your Premium features, such as SongCatcher and unlimited skipping, until your current subscription period ends.
- Offline Listening: The songs you have saved from Deezer will become grey and unplayable without an internet connection at the end of the billing cycle.
- Playlists and Favorites: Your data, including your profile, playlists, and liked songs, remains intact in your "My Music" library.
- Free Tier Limitations: Getting back to the Free tier means you will have ads, limited skips, shuffle play, and inferior audio quality.
Part 6. How to Keep All Your Deezer Music Without a Subscription
When you cancel Deezer Premium, your account eventually switches back to the Free tier, which means offline downloads disappear and your listening experience becomes more limited again, even though your playlists and liked songs remain in your library. In other words, you don't lose your music collection—but you do lose true ownership and offline access.
To avoid that limitation, you can keep your Deezer music permanently by saving it locally before your subscription ends. ViWizard Deezer Music Downloader lets you download your most-streamed tracks directly to your device and save them in high quality. It supports multiple formats like FLAC, AIFF, M4A, M4B, WAV, and MP3, and also lets you customize audio settings such as bit rate, sample rate, and bit depth up to 24-bit/320 kbps/192 kHz. Each file preserves original ID3 tags for easy music management, and it converts Deezer tracks at up to 65× faster speed while maintaining sound quality.

Part 7. FAQs about Canceling Deezer Premium Subscription
Can I still listen to my music after canceling?
Yes. Before the billing cycle ends, you can still listen to your favorite tracks and enjoy other Premium features. However, if the paid time is over, your favorites are visible, though. You cannot play downloaded music or skip songs randomly.
Why can't I find the "Cancel Subscription" option?
Two reasons: You are already on the Free tier, so the cancellation option disappears; another reason is that you subscribed through a third party, like Apple App Store or Google Play, and if so, try cancelling through those platforms instead of Deezer.
Will I get a refund if I cancel early?
No, Deezer does not issue pro-rated refunds for unused time in a billing cycle. Your premium account remains active for the duration you pay.
Conclusion
Canceling Deezer Premium is simple, but it changes how you listen to music. After your billing cycle ends, your account returns to the free plan with ads and limited features, while your playlists and liked songs stay saved.
If you want to keep your music even after canceling, tools like ViWizard Deezer Music Downloader can make a big difference. It helps save your favorite songs in high quality, and you can enjoy an unlimited number of tracks. Just give it a shot!
