Does Roku have a monthly fee? It’s complicated

The short answer is no, but if we’re being practical, you’ll have to spend a few bucks eventually.

Much of the confusion around canceling a subscription on Roku is the brand’s terminology. You won’t find the word “cancel” on the screen when turning off a subscription – instead, Roku calls it “turning off auto-renew.” This effectively prevents another payment from coming out of your bank account, but allows you to continue streaming up through the last day in your billing cycle. It also means there are no refunds for partially used subscriptions.

First, determine where you purchased your subscription

So, how do you remember where you signed up for that subscription you bought years back? If your bank statement says Roku for the recurring payment, you can manage your subscription from your Roku account. You’ll also be able to see your different subscriptions once you log into Roku.
