1 min Self-serve No fee To cancel
Short answer
Cancel Railway from your workspace Billing page at railway.com/workspace/billing: click Cancel Plan in the Active Plan section.

What you are cancelling
Cloud platform for deploying and scaling apps, databases and services with usage-based infrastructure pricing. This guide covers every place the subscription can live - the website - plus what happens to refunds, pausing and your data afterwards.
Step-by-step instructions
Pro is billed per workspace and uses the same billing page - there is no separate team cancellation flow.
1
Open your workspace Billing page
Sign in and go to railway.com/workspace/billing.
2
Go to the Active Plan section
It shows your current subscription.
3
Click Cancel Plan
Railway stops all deployments in your workspace immediately to prevent further charges; the plan itself stays active until the end of the billing cycle.
4
Optionally remove your payment method
Once cancelled with no pending invoices, click Delete in the payment method section to remove your saved card.
Cancelling stops all deployments in the workspace immediately, not at the end of the period. You may also still receive an invoice for usage consumed earlier in the cycle.

Refunds, downgrades, pausing and your data
Four questions people ask before they cancelCan I get my money back?
Refunds are discretionary, aimed at new customers who tried Railway and no longer want it, and limited to one per customer; consumed resource usage is generally not refunded. Request one via Workspace Settings → Billing using the refund button next to the invoice - if no button appears, you are ineligible. Approved refunds take roughly 5–10 business days, and Railway may take services offline immediately after refunding.
Is there a cheaper way to stay?
Upgrades apply immediately; downgrades take effect at the start of the next billing cycle. Plans are managed at railway.com/workspace/plans. When you cancel, deployments stop and an invoice for already-consumed usage may still follow.
Can I pause instead of cancel?
No pause option is documented - the docs describe only cancelling or downgrading.
What happens to my account data?
Railway deletes platform data after warning: 30 days after expiry on Free/Trial, 60 days after cancellation on Hobby, 90 days on Pro. Deleting your account (Account Settings → Delete Account) removes all account information and project data.
Frequently asked questions
Do my apps keep running after I cancel?

Can I still be charged after cancelling?

When does my cancellation take effect?
The plan remains active until the end of the billing cycle, but deployments stop the moment you cancel.
What happens to my data after cancelling?
Railway deletes data after warning: 30 days after expiry on Free/Trial, 60 days after cancellation on Hobby, 90 days on Pro.
Can I get a refund?
Refunds are discretionary, mainly for first-time customers, and limited to one per customer. Use the refund button next to your invoice under Workspace Settings → Billing.
Can I remove my saved payment method?
Yes, once the subscription is cancelled and no invoices are pending - click Delete in the payment method section.
