Step-by-step instructions

Enterprise invoice customers should also check the Order Form.

1
Use an organization or billing administrator

Organization administrators can open Organization Settings. The Billing inclusions report requires billing administration permissions.

2
Enterprise invoice customers follow the Order Form

Invoice payment is listed on Enterprise. The Terms treat fees as nonrefundable except as expressly provided, and they describe termination for breach with a 30-day cure rather than a published self-serve cancel path.

Refunds, downgrades, pausing and your data

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

Buildkite's Terms of Service say all fees are nonrefundable except as expressly otherwise provided. A refund of prepaid unused subscription fees is described if Buildkite terminates after a material functionality reduction it cannot cure, or if Buildkite terminates other than for the customer's uncured breach. Ordinary customer cancellation is not described as refundable.

No refunds
Is there a cheaper way to stay?

Public docs tell you to manage the subscription from Organization Settings but do not publish a self-serve downgrade path or say that a cancelled Pro organization reverts to Free. A Free Plan exists for up to 5 users.

Can I pause instead of cancel?

No pause option is documented on the public pricing, pricing-and-plans, or Terms of Service pages.

Not available
What happens to my account data?

Pricing lists 30-day build and artifact retention on Free and Pro. Enterprise lists 1 year plus historical export for builds and custom artifact retention. The Terms say hosted build artifacts are kept for the period in the Order Form or Plan (90 days for Enterprise unless otherwise specified) and may then be deleted, and that access ends immediately when the agreement expires or is terminated.
