A Scribd charge on your credit card, debit card, PayPal account, or bank statement is usually associated with a Scribd, Slideshare, or Everand subscription provided by Scribd, Inc. The payment may represent a new subscription, automatic renewal, free-trial conversion, legacy plan, plan change, tax, or purchase made by another authorized card user.
The charge can be confusing because an Everand audiobook or ebook subscription may appear as Scribd, Inc. on a statement. Scribd and Everand are now separate products, but Scribd, Inc. remains the company and merchant of record behind Everand.
What Is the Scribd Charge?
A Scribd charge is usually connected to Scribd, Inc., a digital-content company that operates several related services:
- Scribd: A platform for documents, research material, manuals, legal filings, educational content, and other uploaded publications.
- Slideshare: A platform for presentations, professional documents, infographics, and educational material.
- Everand: A separate subscription service for ebooks, audiobooks, podcasts, and related reading content.
- Fable: A social-reading and book-club platform owned by Scribd, Inc.
A current Scribd Premium subscription includes access to Scribd and Slideshare. Current Everand plans are separate, although some older legacy subscriptions may include bundled access to multiple products.
Why Did Scribd Charge My Card?
Possible explanations include:
- A Scribd Premium subscription renewed.
- A Scribd or Slideshare free trial converted to a paid subscription.
- An Everand audiobook or ebook subscription was billed under the Scribd, Inc. company name.
- An older legacy Everand subscription renewed.
- A promotional price ended and the subscription renewed at its regular rate.
- A monthly or annual subscription renewed automatically.
- A plan was upgraded, changed, or prorated.
- Tax was added based on the billing location.
- A second subscription exists under another email address.
- A family member, employee, or other authorized card user subscribed.
- The subscription was purchased through Apple, Google Play, or PayPal.
- The transaction is duplicated, incorrect, or unauthorized.
Common Scribd Statement Variations
Scribd states that directly billed transactions appear as Scribd on card statements. The precise capitalization, punctuation, location, and issuer-added wording may vary.
- SCRIBD
- SCRIBD INC
- SCRIBD, INC.
- SCRIBD.COM
- RECURRING SCRIBD
- CHECKCARD SCRIBD
- DEBIT CARD PURCHASE SCRIBD
- PAYPAL *SCRIBD
Apple- or Google-billed subscriptions may show Apple, APPLE.COM/BILL, Google, Google Play, or another platform descriptor instead of Scribd directly. Always use the complete wording from your own transaction.
Why Does Everand Appear as Scribd, Inc.?
Everand is a separate ebook and audiobook service, but Scribd, Inc. is the company behind Everand and its merchant of record. Therefore, someone who remembers subscribing to Everand may see Scribd, Inc. rather than Everand on a credit card or bank statement.
Current Scribd and Slideshare subscriptions are separate from current Everand subscriptions. Check both account pages because canceling one subscription will not necessarily cancel the other.
Why Is the Scribd Charge $11.99, $16.99, or $28.99?
Those amounts may match current U.S. Everand plans before applicable tax:
- $11.99 per month: Everand Standard
- $16.99 per month: Everand Plus
- $28.99 per month: Everand Deluxe
Do not identify a charge by amount alone. Prices may differ because of taxes, promotions, legacy subscriptions, app-store billing, currency conversion, plan changes, or regional pricing. Check the applicable account’s payment history for the exact plan and billing period.
How to Verify a Scribd Charge
- Copy the complete statement descriptor, amount, date, location, and telephone number, if one appears.
- Sign in to every Scribd account you may have used.
- Open Your account, find Payment information, and select View history.
- Check your Everand account separately and open its payment history.
- Search your email for “Scribd.com,” “Everand.com,” and “Slideshare.”
- Check alternate personal, work, school, or Apple Hide My Email addresses.
- Review Apple Subscriptions, Google Play Subscriptions, and PayPal automatic payments.
- Ask authorized card users whether they subscribed or started a trial.
- Contact official Scribd support if the payment cannot be matched to an account.
How to Cancel a Scribd or Slideshare Subscription
For a subscription purchased directly through Scribd:
- Sign in on the Scribd website.
- Open Your account.
- Find Your subscription.
- Select Manage Subscription beside the plan details.
- Select Cancel subscription.
- Complete the confirmation steps and save the cancellation email.
Canceling a current Scribd subscription also stops the connected Slideshare subscription. It does not automatically cancel a separate Everand subscription.
How to Cancel an Everand Subscription
- Sign in on the Everand website.
- Select the profile icon and open Your account.
- Find the Subscription section.
- Select Cancel beside Cancel subscription.
- Select Cancel subscription again and complete the prompts.
- Keep the cancellation confirmation email.
Deleting the Scribd or Everand app does not cancel a subscription. Cancel through the website or the platform that originally processed the payment.
Apple App Store Subscriptions
Open the Settings app on an iPhone or iPad, select your name, choose Subscriptions, locate Scribd or Everand, and select Cancel Subscription.
Google Play Subscriptions
Open Google Play, select the profile icon, choose Payments & subscriptions, open Subscriptions, locate Scribd or Everand, and select Cancel subscription.
Can You Get a Scribd Refund?
Scribd’s current refund policy generally requires customers to contact support within 30 days of the charge. Possible qualifying situations include:
- A Scribd, Everand, or Slideshare payment error.
- A technical issue that prevented use of the purchase.
- A fraudulently accessed account.
- Unexpected or defective paid content.
- Genuinely unused subscription time.
Scribd does not generally provide partial refunds for a billing period that has already been used. Canceling a subscription does not automatically reverse a payment that has already been processed.
Apple App Store refund requests must be submitted to Apple. For Google Play subscriptions, Scribd states that the related subscription must be canceled before it can issue a refund.

Scribd states that it currently does not provide telephone support. Use the official Help Center, virtual assistant, support-request form, or verified support email.

Consumer Reports and Experiences
When comparing Scribd charge reports, focus on the complete descriptor, amount, billing date, payment platform, subscription type, and whether the charge matched a Scribd, Slideshare, Everand, Apple, Google, or PayPal account. A matching amount or company name alone does not prove that two cardholders experienced the same billing issue.
Reader comments are personal reports and are not independently verified. Do not post your full card number, account email, password, receipt number, address, telephone number, or verification code.
