# Cancel your subscription > Cancel any time in Settings > Subscription. Your plan stays active until the period ends, then moves to Free. Your data stays. Updated Oct 16, 2026 · Alona Shalieieva · https://getprospect.com/help-center/credits-and-billing/cancel-subscription You can cancel your paid plan at any time in [Settings > Subscription](https://app.getprospect.com/settings/subscription). Nothing changes until the end of the period you paid for. Then the workspace moves to the Free plan. ## Before you begin - Only the workspace admin can cancel. - Cancelling stops future payments. It does not delete your account or your data. ## Steps 1. Open **Settings** > **Subscription**. 2. Under **Subscription status**, click **Cancel**. 3. If your plan can be paused, you first see **Before you cancel** with a pause offer. Click **Continue to cancel** to go on, or **Pause instead**. 4. Under **Why are you canceling?**, pick a reason. For "I switched to another tool", choose the tool. Add a note in **Anything we should know?** if you like, then click **Continue**. ![Cancel subscription dialog with the list of reasons, the Anything we should know box and the Keep my plan and Continue buttons](https://static.getprospect.com/img/help-center/v2/cancel-subscription-1-ade8d4f648.webp) 5. You may see **Continue using GetProspect at a reduced price** with a cheaper plan. Pick it and click **Use discounted plan** (it starts at your next renewal), or click **Cancel anyway**. 6.

You can use your credits until then. - On that day the workspace moves to the Free plan. Unused plan credits do not carry over. - Purchased **Extra credits** stay. - Your lists, saved people and companies stay, and you can export them any time. - The whole workspace, teammates included, moves to Free. ## Changed your mind? Before the period ends, click **Reactivate** on **Settings** > **Subscription**. The plan continues as before. ## FAQ ### I only want to stop auto-renewal. Is that the same as cancelling? Yes. Cancelling stops the next payment and keeps the plan to the end of the period. ### I want to change plan, not leave. Should I cancel? No. Click **Change plan** instead. See [Upgrade or downgrade your plan](https://getprospect.com/help-center/credits-and-billing/upgrade-or-downgrade.md). ### I cancelled but was charged again. Contact support through chat.
