Refunds, downgrades, pausing and your data

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

Later plans are non-refundable. Later may review exceptions case by case and says an exception may be subject to an early termination fee. Apple handles refunds for iOS in-app purchases.

No refunds
Is there a cheaper way to stay?

Cancellation moves the account to Free after the billing cycle. Extra users, Social Sets and Access Groups must be removed, older analytics become unavailable and over-limit scheduled content may not publish.

Free tier exists
Can I pause instead of cancel?

No subscription pause is documented in Later's subscription help section or terms.

Not available
What happens to my account data?

Cancellation does not delete the account. Later says separate account deletion removes personal and sensitive data from core systems immediately and remaining data within 90 days, subject to legal and recordkeeping exceptions.
