Blinkist price (October 2026) and how to cancel
In the US (as of 2026-10-18), Blinkist's pricing page shows Premium with an introductory $79.99 for 12 months (then $99.99/year) and Pro with an introductory $139.99 (then $174.99/year) when a coupon is applied - confirm the live checkout total; intro coupons change. Cancel in Settings → Manage Subscription → turn off auto-renewal at least 24 hours before the period ends, or in Apple/Google Subscriptions if the store bills you (Blinkist Help: cancel).
Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing cycle. Deleting the app does not cancel.
Blinkist renews annually by default on many offers. Turn off auto-renew before the 24-hour cutoff if you do not want another year.
