# How to cancel Async Creator

Cancel Podcastle's successor Async Creator from the correct workspace: open Workspace Settings, Billing and plans, then the three-dot menu and Cancel Subscription. It takes about 2 minutes. Premium features remain until the billing cycle ends, when the workspace moves to Basic.

Formerly Podcastle, an AI-assisted audio and video recording, editing and publishing platform.

## Cancel in a web browser

1. **Choose the correct workspace** Sign in and switch to the workspace whose subscription you want to cancel. Each workspace can have a separate subscription.
2. **Open Billing and plans** Open Workspace Settings, then select Billing and plans.
3. **Cancel the subscription** Open the three-dot menu in the right corner, select Cancel Subscription and confirm by clicking Cancel Subscription again.
4. **Check the confirmation** Async sends a confirmation email after cancellation. Check spam if it does not appear.

## Cancel a team plan

1. **Review every workspace** Because each workspace has its own subscription, repeat the billing check for any other paid workspace that should stop renewing.

## Refunds, pausing, downgrades and your data

- **Refunds:** A direct paid upgrade without a free trial can be refunded when requested within 7 days of the initial purchase. Once a free trial converts and is charged, Async says it cannot issue a refund. It does not provide prorated refunds for partially used service.
- **Pausing:** No subscription pause option is documented in Async Creator's current accounts and billing help collection.
- **Downgrading:** Premium features remain through the current billing cycle, then the workspace downgrades to the Basic plan. A canceled subscription can typically be reactivated by selecting a new plan in billing.
- **Account data:** Cancellation keeps the account on Basic. Account deletion is separate and irreversible under Profile Settings, Permanently Delete Account; it removes all workspaces, recordings, projects, voices, shows, episodes and other files.
