The Annual Subscription Discount (The #1 Hack)
If you are a committed learner, paying for the annual Skillshare membership is significantly cheaper than the month-to-month plan. It often provides a discount of over 50% for the year.
The 'Free Trial' Power Move
Skillshare is famous for its free trial. The best way to use it is to dedicate a week or month to binge-learning all the classes on your watchlist, and then cancel before the trial ends to avoid being charged.
Look for Teacher & Affiliate Promo Codes
Before subscribing, search on YouTube or Google for 'Skillshare promo code' from your favorite creators. Many teachers have affiliate links that offer extended free trials (e.g., 30 days instead of 7).
Check for Team & Corporate Plans
If you are part of a team or company, check if your organization has a 'Skillshare for Teams' account. This is a common employee benefit that provides full access for free.
Pre-Cancellation Safety Checklist
Your Class Projects and Profile are Safe
CRITICAL: Your Skillshare profile, including any class projects you've uploaded and comments you've made, will NOT be deleted when you cancel your premium membership. Your work remains visible.
You Lose Access to Premium Class Videos
VERY IMPORTANT: After your membership ends, you will lose access to the video content of all premium classes. You can still see which classes you were enrolled in, but you cannot watch the lessons.
You Will Lose All Offline Downloads
The ability to download classes for offline viewing in the mobile app is a premium-only feature. As soon as your subscription period ends, all downloaded lessons will become inaccessible.
Confirm Your Billing Source (Website vs. App Store)
The cancellation process depends entirely on how you paid. If you subscribed on the Skillshare website, you must cancel there. If you subscribed via the Google Play Store or Apple's App Store, you MUST cancel it in your phone's subscription settings.

What happens to my class projects after I cancel?
Your class projects are safe. They remain on your public Skillshare profile and are not deleted when you cancel your premium membership. You just lose the ability to watch the premium class videos associated with them.
Can I still watch free classes after cancelling?
Yes. Your account reverts to a free membership, which allows you to watch the library of free classes that Skillshare offers. You do not need a premium membership for those.
Do I get a refund if I cancel my annual plan early?
No, Skillshare's policy states that memberships are non-refundable. If you cancel an annual plan, you will retain premium access until the end of the one-year period you paid for, but you will not get a pro-rated refund.
Can I pause my Skillshare membership?
No, Skillshare does not currently offer a 'pause' feature for memberships. You must either keep it active or cancel it. If you cancel, you can always resubscribe later.
