How do I cancel Todoist?
2 min Self-serve No fee To cancel
Short answer
Cancel Todoist in the web or desktop app: select your avatar, choose Settings, open Subscription and choose Cancel plan; Apple or Google Play billing is cancelled in that store. It takes about 2 minutes and Pro stays active through the paid period, then returns to Beginner. Yearly plans are refundable within 30 days, monthly payments are not unless required by law.

What you are cancelling
Task and project-management service for individuals and teams, with shared projects, calendars, reminders, and productivity views.

Refunds, downgrades, pausing and your data
Four questions people ask before they cancelCan I get my money back?
Monthly Pro and Business payments are non-refundable unless required by law. Yearly plans are refundable within 30 days of purchase or renewal. Pro refunds can start in subscription settings; Business customers cancel the team and contact Todoist. Apple and Google Play refunds use the respective store process.
Is there a cheaper way to stay?
Cancelled Pro returns to the free Beginner plan after the paid period. Data remains, but projects beyond the free limit become view-only, paid task fields cannot be added or edited, activity history is limited, and new automatic backups stop. Cancelled Business teams retain projects and tasks after downgrade.
Can I pause instead of cancel?
Todoist does not document a pause or subscription-hold option. Cancelling stops renewal; it does not pause a paid plan.
What happens to my account data?
Account deletion is permanent. Directly billed paid plans cancel automatically on account deletion, but Apple or Google Play subscriptions must still be cancelled in the store. Todoist says personal data is removed from production systems while an encrypted backup remains for 90 days before permanent deletion.
Frequently asked questions
Does cancelling Todoist take effect immediately?
Usually no. The paid plan stays active through the current billing period, then Pro returns to Beginner or Business downgrades.
Can I get a Todoist refund?
Yearly plans are refundable within 30 days of purchase or renewal. Monthly payments are non-refundable unless required by law.
What happens to projects after Pro ends?
Data remains, but projects above the Beginner limit become view-only and new automatic backups stop.
Who can cancel Todoist Business?
A team admin can cancel from the team's Subscription page and must complete each confirmation screen.
Does deleting Todoist cancel an app-store subscription?
No. Apple and Google Play subscriptions must still be cancelled in the relevant store.
Can I pause Todoist?
Todoist does not document a pause option.
