To cancel a Punchbowl subscription, the path depends on where you signed up. If you subscribed directly at punchbowl.com, cancel from your Account Settings on the website. If you subscribed inside the iOS or Android app, Apple or Google controls the billing, and you have to cancel through their subscription settings instead. Canceling stops future charges but leaves your account and events in place.

Canceling During a Free Trial
Trial cancellations don’t work like paid ones. If you cancel during an active free trial, your membership ends immediately and you won’t be charged. There is no grace period keeping premium features available until the trial would have expired.1Punchbowl. How Do I Cancel My Membership If you started the trial to send invitations for one event, finish everything you need before you cancel.
What Happens to Your Events
Your events don’t disappear when your membership ends. Guests can still RSVP and event pages stay intact. What you lose is the ability to manage those events through the website. To keep tracking RSVPs and editing details after your paid membership expires, use the free Punchbowl app for iOS or Android.4Punchbowl Help Center.

Confirming the Cancellation
Log back into your Punchbowl account and open the Membership tab. Auto-renewal should show as inactive. If you canceled through Apple or Google, check the subscription list on those platforms and confirm the Punchbowl entry shows an expiration date rather than a renewal date.
