If you have watched the films that interested you or the curation no longer matches your taste, cancelling is quick.

What Happens After You Cancel Mubi?
After cancelling, your Mubi access continues until the end of your current billing period. Once it expires, you lose access to all films in the rotating catalog. Your account is not deleted - your watchlist, viewing history, ratings, and reviews all stay on your profile. If you resubscribe in the future, everything is preserved. Unlike services with large back catalogs, Mubi's library changes daily, so films you wanted to watch may have rotated out by the time you return. If there are specific films currently on Mubi that interest you, watch them before your subscription expires because they may not be available later.
Mubi in India - Key Notes
Mubi is available in India at ₹499/month, which is significantly cheaper than the US pricing of $14.99/month. The annual plan at ₹3,588/year (about ₹299/month) offers a good discount. Mubi accepts Indian credit cards, debit cards, and also works through Apple and Google Play billing in India. The film selection in India overlaps heavily with the global catalog but may have some regional differences due to licensing. Mubi has built a dedicated following in India, particularly in cities with strong independent film cultures. If you subscribed through UPI via Google Play, make sure your Google Play subscription is properly cancelled - just removing the UPI mandate from your bank app is not enough.
Alternatives to Mubi
If you are looking for curated or independent film content beyond Mubi, a few options exist. The Criterion Channel ($10.99/month) has the largest collection of classic and arthouse cinema, though it is only available in the US, Canada, and a few other countries. Netflix and Amazon Prime both carry some independent films in their catalogs - search by festival awards or director name to find them. YouTube has a growing selection of free classic and public domain films. Kanopy is free through many public libraries and universities and carries a strong independent film collection. For Indian independent cinema specifically, MUBI itself is hard to beat, but platforms like SonyLIV and ZEE5 occasionally feature festival films. Use RecurStop to track all your film and streaming subscriptions so you know exactly what you are paying for and when each one renews.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Mubi offer a free trial?
Mubi occasionally offers 7-day free trials for new users, though availability varies by region and time. Check mubi.com for current offers. Mubi also partners with film festivals, universities, and mobile carriers to offer extended free trials. If you are a student, check if your institution has a Mubi partnership.
Can I download Mubi films for offline viewing?
Yes, Mubi allows offline downloads on mobile devices while you have an active subscription. Once your subscription expires after cancelling, downloaded films become inaccessible. If you want to watch downloaded films offline, do so before your billing period ends.
Will my Mubi ratings and reviews be deleted if I cancel?
No. Your ratings, reviews, watchlist, and viewing history all remain on your Mubi profile after cancelling. Your account stays active - you just lose access to the film catalog. If you resubscribe, all your data is intact and your personalized recommendations continue from where they left off.
How many films does Mubi have at any given time?
Mubi maintains a rotating catalog of about 30 films at any time. One new film is added each day, and the oldest film is removed. This means every film on Mubi is available for exactly 30 days. Some films return to the platform later, but there is no guarantee. If you see a film you want to watch, do not wait too long.
Is Mubi worth it compared to Netflix or Prime Video?
Mubi and Netflix serve different audiences. Mubi focuses exclusively on curated independent, classic, and arthouse cinema - 30 hand-picked films at a time. Netflix has tens of thousands of titles across all genres. If you primarily watch mainstream content, Netflix or Prime Video give you far more for less money. If you specifically want festival films, director retrospectives, and international cinema that mainstream platforms rarely carry, Mubi fills that gap well.
