Refunds, downgrades, pausing and your data
Four questions people ask before they cancelAn initial monthly cloud purchase is refundable only within the first paid month after the trial. A new annual cloud subscription is refundable within 30 days of the first purchase. Cloud renewals and upgrades are not refundable, and the published policy does not apply to Enterprise subscriptions.
Instead of deactivating Confluence, Standard and Premium can be changed to Free for the next billing period when the site has 10 users or fewer. Remaining days are not refunded. In the original billing experience, an annual subscription requires support to move to Free.
No subscription pause option is documented in Atlassian's current cloud billing, plan-change, or deactivation documentation.
After a paid period ends, the site stays accessible for 15 days before deactivation. Atlassian lists a 60-day retention period for deactivated Free, Standard, Premium, and Enterprise app data. Deleting Confluence from a site deletes Confluence data immediately. Atlassian account deletion is separate.
Frequently asked questions
Who can cancel Confluence Cloud?
Billing admins, organization admins, and site administrators can deactivate a subscription in the improved billing experience. The original flow also permits billing contacts.
Does Confluence stop immediately after cancellation?
No. The paid period finishes first, and Atlassian keeps the site accessible for 15 additional days before deactivation.
Can I switch Confluence to Free instead of closing it?
Yes, if the site has 10 users or fewer. The move from Standard or Premium to Free takes effect in the next billing period.
Can I get a Confluence refund?
Only qualifying initial purchases: the first paid month for a monthly cloud subscription or the first 30 days of a new annual subscription. Renewals and upgrades are not refundable.
What happens to Confluence data after deactivation?
Atlassian lists a 60-day retention period for deactivated paid app data, but deleting Confluence from the site deletes Confluence data immediately.
Does deleting my Atlassian account cancel Confluence?
