Refunds, downgrades, pausing and your data

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

Otter does not offer refunds for purchased subscriptions or unused portions. Apple App Store and Google Play purchases use the store's own billing and refund process.

No refunds
Is there a cheaper way to stay?

Cancellation schedules the workspace to move to Basic after the current billing period. The workspace stays active and team members retain access to the 25 most recent conversations under Basic limits.

Free tier exists
Can I pause instead of cancel?

Otter documents a Pause Plan control in Account Settings, then Plan. Click Pause Plan. The public guide does not state the available duration or billing details.

What happens to my account data?

Conversations remain after a subscription cancellation, subject to Basic limits. Account deletion is separate and permanent: conversations, settings, and shared content are deleted and cannot be recovered, while limited information such as email may be retained for accounting and administration. Deleting the app does not cancel a store subscription.
