Step-by-step instructions

Netlify bills through the web app only; there is no app-store billing.

1
Sign in as a Team Owner and open plan details

Only a Team Owner can change the plan. In the Netlify app, go to Usage & billing → Plan details for your team.

2
Select Change team plan

Choose and confirm your new plan - the Free plan to stop paying entirely.

3
Wait for the downgrade to take effect

It applies at the start of your next billing cycle; paid features last until then. Unused monthly plan credits (including rollover) are removed at that point; credit-pack and auto-recharge credits remain.

To avoid a renewal charge, the subscription agreement requires terminating via the admin panel at least one day before the end of the current term.

Refunds, downgrades, pausing and your data

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

Netlify's Self-Serve Subscription Agreement makes all fees non-cancelable and non-refundable, including when you terminate, with no refunds for the unused portion of a term. To avoid a renewal charge, terminate at least one day before the term ends (or by written notice ten days prior). For billing problems, contact support; prorated amounts are only mentioned for mid-cycle Pro credit-tier changes.

No refunds
Is there a cheaper way to stay?

Downgrades take effect at the start of the next billing cycle; you keep paid features until then. The Free plan gives 300 credits per month as a hard limit, one Team Owner with no extra seats, and up to 500 projects. When free credits run out, all web projects are paused and visitors see a "Site not available" page until the next cycle.

Free tier exists
Can I pause instead of cancel?

No pause option is documented. Only web projects pause automatically when a team's monthly credits run out.

Not available
What happens to my account data?

After termination, Netlify makes Customer Data available for electronic retrieval for 30 days, after which it may delete it. Deleting a team or user takes all sites offline, deletes DNS zones, and locks domains purchased through Netlify; after user deletion you cannot access Netlify without support's help.
