Does the Max free trial charge you automatically?

Yes. If you do not cancel before the trial ends, Max is charged automatically (about about $9.99–$20.99/month).

Can I cancel Max right after signing up and keep the trial?

Usually yes — most services let you keep full trial access until the end date even after you cancel, so cancelling early is the safest move.

The quick facts

Where to cancel the Max trial

The trap to avoid

Watch out: Promotional trials renew at the full plan price automatically. If billed through Apple/Google/Amazon, you must cancel in that store, not on Max.

Smartest move

Check whether your plan is ad-free — those renew at the highest price, so the cancel-by date matters most there.
