Monthly vs annual - annual saves ~40%

Criterion Channel offers both monthly ($10.99/mo) and annual ($99.99/yr) plans. If you're only pausing for a season, canceling and rejoining a monthly plan costs less than maintaining annual billing.

Check your billing source before canceling

Many subscribers added Criterion Channel through Amazon Channels or Apple - in that case, canceling at criterionchannel.com won't stop the charge. Always cancel through wherever you see the charge on your statement.

What's on Criterion Channel

Criterion Channel specializes in classic, foreign, and art-house cinema - the same films as Criterion Collection Blu-rays, plus curated collections, filmmaker retrospectives, and supplements. If you're a casual viewer, a monthly subscription during specific release windows can be more economical than maintaining annual billing.

Refund policy

Criterion Channel does not offer prorated refunds for the current billing period. Annual plan cancellations don't receive refunds for unused months. If billed through Apple or Amazon, their respective refund policies apply.
