Pause your subscription

❗️ Important
Pausing a subscription is only available if you are on our current pricing, subscribed to a Starter or Standard plan, and on a monthly plan. If pausing is not available for your plan, you can cancel your subscription instead.

You can pause your monthly subscription for up to 3 months. This is helpful if you need a short break from using Brevo but don't want to cancel your subscription.

Good to know

  • Only the account owner or users with permission to manage plan, billing, and payment can access the My plan page and pause a subscription. To learn more, check our dedicated article Add and manage users on your Brevo account.
  • While your subscription is paused, you cannot cancel your plan, switch to a yearly plan, or add new users. To make these changes, you’ll first need to resume your subscription.

❓FAQs

I can't find the Pause subscription button in my Brevo account

Pausing a subscription is only available if you are on our current pricing, subscribed to a Starter or Standard plan, and on a monthly plan. If pausing is not available for your plan, you can cancel your subscription instead.

What happens after pausing my subscription?

When you pause your subscription, the pause is scheduled and will take effect at the end of your current billing period. Until then, you can continue using your remaining credits.

During the pause, you can still manage your Brevo account and use the features included in the Free plan, but you won’t be able to send emails.

Your subscription will automatically resume after the pause duration you selected (1, 2, or 3 months).

➡️  For example
If you pause your subscription for 3 months on August 12 and your billing date is August 24, your plan will remain active until August 23. It will then be paused from August 24 to November 23, and automatically resume on November 24.
Can I cancel a scheduled pause?

Yes. If your subscription pause has been scheduled but hasn’t started yet, you can cancel it by clicking Remove scheduled changes next to your plan name on the My plan page.

Can I resume my subscription earlier than planned?
❗️ Important
You cannot resume your subscription if the pause was applied by Brevo due to unpaid invoices.

Yes. If your subscription pause has already started, you can resume it early by clicking Resume my plan next to your plan name on the My plan page.

A pro-rated fee covering the period from the date you resume your subscription until your next billing date will be automatically charged to your current payment method.
