How to Cancel ClickUp Plans and Subscriptions

When you manage projects in ClickUp, it is important to understand how to cancel your paid subscription correctly, what happens after cancellation, and how billing timelines work so you can avoid unexpected charges.

This guide explains, step by step, how to cancel from the billing page, what your workspace can expect after you cancel, and how refunds and proration are handled according to the official cancellation policy.

Before You Cancel a ClickUp Subscription

Before you cancel a ClickUp plan, review the key billing concepts that influence when charges occur and when access to paid features ends.

• Billing cycle: The period your account is charged for (monthly or yearly).
• Renewal date: The day your next charge is scheduled.
• Downgrade timing: When paid features are removed after cancellation.
• Refund eligibility: Whether you qualify for a refund or only a proration credit.

Understanding these details will help you choose the best time to cancel your ClickUp subscription and prevent confusion about future invoices.

How ClickUp Billing and Renewals Work

ClickUp bills workspaces at the beginning of each billing cycle for all active members on a paid plan. When you change the number of members or modify your plan, the system automatically recalculates charges for the current cycle.

Key billing behaviors include:

• Charges occur on the renewal date shown on your Billing page.
• Plan upgrades or additional members may trigger prorated charges mid-cycle.
• Removing members reduces seats only from the next billing cycle, not retroactively.

Knowing how this works ensures you cancel your ClickUp subscription at the right time relative to your billing cycle.

Step-by-Step: Cancel a ClickUp Workspace Plan

You can cancel a paid workspace plan directly from the Billing section of your account settings. Follow these steps carefully to ensure the cancellation is completed.

Step 1: Open the ClickUp Billing Page

1. Log in to your ClickUp account with a workspace owner or admin role.
2. Select your workspace if you belong to multiple workspaces.
3. Open Settings from the sidebar menu.
4. Go to the Billing section to see your current plan details.

Only owners and authorized admins can cancel a paid ClickUp subscription, so confirm you have the correct permissions before proceeding.

Step 2: Review Your Current ClickUp Plan

On the Billing page you will see:

• Your plan type (Monthly or Yearly and plan level).
• Your next renewal date.
• Your current number of paid members.
• Any add-ons or credits applied to the workspace.

Take a screenshot or note this information so you understand what will change when your ClickUp subscription is canceled.

Step 3: Start the ClickUp Cancellation Process

1. Locate the section showing your current paid plan.
2. Click the option to Cancel plan or Downgrade (wording may vary slightly based on interface updates).
3. Read the on-screen explanation of what happens when you cancel your ClickUp plan.
4. Confirm that you want to proceed with cancellation.

During this step, ClickUp may offer options such as moving to a different paid tier or adjusting members instead of full cancellation. Choose the option that best matches your needs.

Step 4: Confirm the Effective Date of Cancellation

When you cancel a ClickUp subscription, the workspace typically remains on the paid plan until the end of the current billing period.

On the confirmation screen, check:

• The exact date your paid plan will end.
• Whether you will be downgraded to a Free plan.
• Any loss of advanced features or usage limits that will apply after that date.

After you confirm, your plan is scheduled to end, and the workspace will be downgraded automatically at the end of your current cycle.

What Happens After You Cancel ClickUp

Once your cancellation is processed, ClickUp adjusts your workspace access and billing going forward. You will not be charged again after the current billing cycle ends, but there are a few important points to consider.

Access to ClickUp Data and Features

• Your workspace and data remain available unless they violate platform policies.
• Advanced paid features are disabled once the downgrade takes effect.
• Free plan limits may apply to storage, automation, or other features.

Make sure you export any reports or data that rely on paid features before your ClickUp workspace is downgraded.

Members and Seats After Cancellation

After your paid plan ends, all members remain in the workspace, but only features allowed by the Free plan are available. Seat counts and paid user roles no longer apply once the workspace is fully downgraded in ClickUp.

Refunds, Proration, and ClickUp Credits

The official cancellation policy described on the ClickUp blog explains how refunds and proration are handled and when you may receive credits rather than direct refunds.

When Refunds May Not Be Available

In many situations, canceling a ClickUp plan stops future renewals but does not automatically trigger a refund for time already billed. The exact conditions are defined in the published policy, which you should review carefully.

For the authoritative policy details, refer to the official cancellation article at this ClickUp cancellation policy page.

Understanding Proration in ClickUp

Proration usually applies when you change plan levels or adjust user counts mid-cycle, not simply when you cancel on the renewal date. ClickUp may create a prorated credit on your account that is applied to future invoices instead of returning funds to your payment method.

• Upgrading mid-cycle: you may be charged a prorated amount for the remaining time.
• Removing members mid-cycle: you may receive prorated credits toward the next invoice.
• Canceling before renewal: typically stops the next charge but does not change past invoices.

Always check the Billing page in ClickUp to view current credits, upcoming charges, and plan adjustments.

Troubleshooting ClickUp Cancellation Issues

If you believe your ClickUp workspace was charged unexpectedly or your plan did not downgrade as expected, use the following checklist.

Verify Your Workspace and Account

• Confirm you are viewing the correct workspace if you belong to several.
• Check whether multiple workspaces share the same billing method.
• Ensure you are logged in with an owner or admin account in ClickUp.

Review Billing History in ClickUp

1. Open the Billing section again.
2. Review recent invoices and charges.
3. Compare the invoice dates to your cancellation confirmation date.

Having this information ready will make it easier to work with support if you need additional help cancelling your ClickUp plan.

Contact Support If Needed

If something does not match the official cancellation policy, gather:

• Screenshots of the Billing page.
• Copies of email confirmations from ClickUp.
• Invoice numbers and transaction dates.

Then reach out to support using the channel specified in the platform, describing exactly what happened and when you tried to cancel your ClickUp subscription.

Best Practices When Ending a ClickUp Subscription

To make the transition smoother, consider these best practices before and after you cancel a ClickUp plan.

• Export critical data such as tasks, reports, or dashboards.
• Notify team members about upcoming changes in access.
• Schedule cancellation a few days before renewal to avoid last-minute issues.
• Document everything related to your ClickUp billing for internal records.

If you need expert assistance planning your workflow changes or migrating to another platform, you can consult specialists at Consultevo for additional guidance.

By following these steps and reviewing the official cancellation policy, you can confidently cancel your ClickUp subscription, avoid unexpected fees, and maintain access to your data during and after the downgrade.
