iHeartRadio Plus ($5.99/mo) adds unlimited skips and replays. All Access ($12.99/mo) adds on-demand song selection and offline listening. Make sure you know which subscription you're canceling - they bill and cancel independently.

iHeartRadio vs Spotify vs Pandora Premium

iHeartRadio Plus/All Access is best for live radio enthusiasts and podcast listeners. Spotify Premium has a larger on-demand music catalog and better discovery features. Pandora Premium falls between the two. If you primarily want on-demand music, Spotify or Apple Music are stronger options than iHeartRadio All Access.

Refund policy

iHeartRadio does not issue prorated refunds for the current billing period. Apple and Google Play refund policies apply for subscriptions through those platforms - request refunds at reportaproblem.apple.com or through Google Play within 48 hours of a charge.

Frequently asked questions

Does canceling iHeartRadio Plus delete my account?
No. Your iHeartRadio account remains active on the free tier with your playlists, favorites, and listening history intact.
Can I still listen to podcasts after canceling iHeartRadio Plus?
Yes. Podcasts are available on the free tier. Canceling Plus or All Access only affects music features like unlimited skips and on-demand playback.
How do I cancel iHeartRadio if I subscribed through my carrier?
Some iHeartRadio subscriptions are bundled with carrier plans (AT&T, etc.). If your bill shows charges from your carrier rather than iHeart directly, contact your carrier to remove the add-on. iHeartRadio cannot cancel carrier-billed subscriptions.
