Refunds, downgrades, pausing and your data

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

Bitwarden offers a 30-day refund policy on paid services. Its cancellation guide says to contact support for a refund when the subscription is less than 30 days old.

Refund possible
Is there a cheaper way to stay?

A cancelled personal subscription moves to a free account on the Next charge date. Organization subscriptions end on the Subscription expiration date. Choosing a lower service level can remove access to paid content, features or capacity.

Free tier exists
Can I pause instead of cancel?

No subscription pause option is documented in Bitwarden's official pricing, cancellation, terms or billing pages. Before the term ends, a pending cancellation can be reversed with Reinstate Subscription.

Not available
What happens to my account data?

Cancelling the subscription does not delete the account or organization. Deletion is separate and permanent, cannot be undone or restored, and deletes all associated vault data. Deleting an account or organization does not automatically cancel its subscription, so cancel first and export needed vault data before deletion.
