Updated over a week ago

Note: subscription management is currently only available on the web (not in the mobile app).

How to pause your subscription

  1. Go to Subscription in your account settings: https://perlego.com/settings/subscription

  2. Tap Manage

  3. Select Pause subscription.

  4. Review the pause details (including the end date) and select Pause and keep my price to confirm.

You’ll also see the pause date on the payment page after you confirm.

Preferences modal titled ‘Pause and keep your current price’ showing pause duration options (1 month selected, plus 3 months and 6 months). It lists ‘Pause starts: 29th May, 2026’, bullet points explaining billing stops, books and notes stay saved, price stays locked, and a reminder 3 days before restart, then ‘Pause ends: 29th June, 2026’. A ‘Pause and keep my price’ button appears at the bottom with a close icon in the top-right.


What happens when I pause?

  • Your pause starts at the end of your current billing period.

  • You won’t be charged while your subscription is paused.

  • Your account data (including saved books, notes, and highlights) stays safe and will be there when you return.

  • We’ll email you 3 days before your subscription is due to reactivate. From that email, you can choose to:

    • extend your pause, or

    • cancel instead of resuming.


What happens when my subscription resumes?

When your pause ends, your membership automatically continues to renew unless you cancel or extend your pause.
