Refunds, downgrades, pausing and your data

Four questions people ask before they cancel

Cancellation does not automatically create a refund. Perplexity documents separate refund handling and preserves any stronger rights required by local consumer law.

Case by case
Is there a cheaper way to stay?

The account returns to Perplexity Free after the current billing cycle ends.

Free tier exists
Can I pause instead of cancel?

No voluntary subscription pause is documented. Promotional subscriptions can be paused when card verification is required, which is a different state.

Not available
What happens to my account data?

Cancelling does not delete the account. Account deletion must be started separately and permanently deletes account and personal data after a 30-day disabled period.
