To downgrade a paid subscription, you first need to cancel it. Then, you can either choose to stay on the free plan or switch to a lower plan than the one you were previously on.
However, note that if you have encountered failed payments, you will have to contact our support team instead.
Good to know
- Only the account owner or a user with the Manage plan, billing and payment information permission can access the My plan page and cancel a subscription to downgrade to a lower or free plan.
-
Depending on your reason for downgrading, a different option might suit you better:
- Taking a short break? Pause your subscription for up to 3 months.
- Need fewer email credits? Adjust your email volume instead of downgrading.
- Payment failed or plan expired? Subscribe to a new plan from the My plan page using a valid payment method.
⏬ Downgrade to a free plan
You can downgrade to a free plan account by canceling your current plan. Your plan needs to be active to be able to cancel it. If your plan is paused, you first have to resume it.

Note that you have to cancel each plan individually. If you downgrade to a free plan and still have pay as you go (PAG) credits, you will lose these credits.
