Clever Ways to Save
The Times Prime Bundle
Before paying, check if you have a Times Prime membership. A complimentary Gaana Plus subscription is a flagship benefit of the Times Prime bundle, making it the most common way to get the service for free.
The Flipkart SuperCoins Method
Check the Flipkart SuperCoins zone in your Flipkart app. You can frequently redeem SuperCoins earned from shopping to get a Gaana Plus subscription for free for several months or even a full year.
Check for Payment & Coupon Offers
Gaana regularly partners with payment wallets like Paytm and coupon sites. Before renewing, do a quick search for 'Gaana Plus coupon' or check your wallet app for special cashback offers on subscriptions.
Pre-Cancellation Safety Checklist
Your Playlists and Liked Songs are Safe
CRITICAL: You will NOT lose your playlists, favorites, or listening history when you cancel Gaana Plus. Your account will simply revert to the free, ad-supported version, and your entire music library will be preserved.
You Will Lose All Offline Downloads
Offline song downloads are a Gaana Plus-only feature. As soon as your subscription period ends, you will no longer be able to play any songs you have saved for offline listening.
Confirm Your Billing Source (Web vs. App Store)
VERY IMPORTANT: If you subscribed on the Gaana website, you must cancel there. If you subscribed using the Google Play Store or Apple's App Store, you MUST cancel it in your phone's subscription settings, not in the Gaana app.
