How to Cancel Hulu

Q: Can I get a refund when I cancel Hulu?

Hulu does not offer refunds for partially used billing periods. After cancelling, you continue to have Hulu access until the end of the current billing cycle.

Q: Can I pause Hulu instead of cancelling?

Yes. Hulu allows you to pause your subscription for up to 12 weeks. During the pause you're not charged and your account stays open. To pause: hulu.com → Account → Your Subscription → Pause. Hulu will suggest this during the cancellation flow.

Q: How do I cancel Hulu + Live TV?

Use the same process: hulu.com → Account → Your Subscription → Cancel. Your live TV plan and any add-ons are all cancelled together. If you only want to remove an add-on (like HBO Max or ESPN+), use Manage Add-ons instead of cancelling the whole subscription.

Q: How can I find all my streaming subscriptions automatically?

CentryAI scans your Gmail or iCloud inbox to automatically detect every subscription — Hulu, Netflix, Disney+, and more — including add-ons you may have forgotten. Free at centryai.app.
