Refunds, downgrades, pausing and your data

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

Hootsuite's self-serve terms say paid fees are non-refundable. Cancelling or downgrading does not remove the obligation to pay the remainder of the selected monthly or annual term.

No refunds
Is there a cheaper way to stay?

Self-serve customers can cancel or downgrade from Plan and billing. Hootsuite's current plans page does not promise a general free-plan fallback.

Read this
Can I pause instead of cancel?

No subscription-pause option is documented in Hootsuite's account-management article or self-serve terms.

Not available
What happens to my account data?

Cancellation retains account information so the plan can be restarted. Separate account deletion is immediate and unrecoverable and permanently deletes scheduled content.
