MasterClass price (October 2026) and how to cancel
In the US (as of 2026-10-18), MasterClass Help states there is no monthly option - all memberships are billed annually, with Standard, Plus and Premium plans on the checkout page (MasterClass subscription cost; checkout). Confirm the live dollar amounts on checkout before you pay. Cancel on the website only (not in the app): Settings → Membership → Cancel Membership → Cancel Now (Cancelling Your Subscription Renewal).
After you cancel, the membership stays active until the end of the current billing period. Apple or Google purchases must be canceled in that store.
MasterClass renews annually until you turn renewal off on the web. The mobile app cannot cancel a MasterClass-billed plan.
