Step-by-step instructions

1
Self-hosted: cancel from the customer portal

Log in to customer.appsmith.com, open the Billing menu, click Visit Stripe dashboard, then Cancel subscription and confirm.

2
Removing a license key does not cancel Stripe

Admin Settings, License & Plans, Remove, then Confirm downgrades that instance to Free. You must still cancel the Stripe subscription if you want billing to stop.

3
Order-form agreements use 60-day non-renewal

The Appsmith Subscription Agreement renews for successive one-year terms unless a party gives at least 60 days' notice of non-renewal before the term ends. That notice rule belongs to the signed Order Form path, not the Stripe Cancel subscription control.

Refunds, downgrades, pausing and your data

Four questions people ask before they cancel
Can I get my money back?

The Appsmith Subscription Agreement says payments are nonrefundable. The Stripe cancel docs describe stopping Stripe billing and do not publish a refund of unused days. A warranty remedy may refund a portion of fees associated with defective Platform or Services; that is not a cooling-off refund for ordinary cancel.

No refunds
Is there a cheaper way to stay?

Canceling Stripe stops paid billing. Removing a license key downgrades that instance to Free and does not cancel Stripe. Downgrade loses paid features listed on the cancel page, including SSO, SCIM, granular access control, extra Git repos, branding and audit logs. Returning to a similar paid plan restores previous settings except SCIM, which you must reconfigure. Free Cloud remains $0 for up to 5 users.

Free tier exists
Can I pause instead of cancel?

No subscription pause option is documented. Cancel Stripe to stop billing, or remove a license key to put an instance on Free while Stripe may still bill.

Not available
What happens to my account data?

Cancelling Stripe billing does not by itself delete your Appsmith instance or apps. Removing a license key keeps the instance on Free with the paid-feature loss documented on the cancel page. The privacy policy says Personal Data for a contract is retained until the contract is fully performed, then deleted when the retention period expires, and that you may request deletion of personal information subject to legal exceptions.

Frequently asked questions

Answers checked with the steps above

Give at least 60 days' notice of non-renewal before the one-year term ends, unless the Order Form says otherwise.
