How do I cancel Vimeo?
Cancel a self-serve Vimeo plan in Billing settings: open Membership plan, choose Billing, then select Cancel subscription. It takes about one minute, and paid features continue through the current billing cycle. Cancellation does not automatically refund; initial monthly purchases have a 3-day refund window and yearly purchases have 14 days.
Opens vimeo.com. We are not affiliated with Vimeo and never handle your login.
Ad-free video hosting, management, collaboration, editing and live-event platform for individuals and teams. This guide covers every place the subscription can live - the website, the iPhone and iPad app, Google Play, and team plans - plus what happens to refunds, pausing and your data afterwards.
Step-by-step instructions
This self-serve route covers paid Vimeo plans except Enterprise.
Sign in to the Vimeo account with the active subscription and open the billing settings page.

Use Cancel subscription in the lower-right corner of the Billing page.
Complete the confirmation. Paid features continue through the current billing cycle, then the account lapses to Free or Basic.
If the library is over the Free plan's 1 GB limit, newest videos become restricted after the downgrade and their links and embeds stop working.
Use Apple Settings only when the App Store bills the Vimeo subscription.
On iPhone, open Settings, tap your name, then tap Subscriptions.
Tap the Vimeo subscription billed to the Apple Account.

Refunds, downgrades, pausing and your data
Four questions people ask before they cancelCancellation does not automatically issue a refund. Website monthly subscriptions can be refunded up to three days after the initial purchase and yearly subscriptions up to 14 days after the initial purchase. Vimeo does not grant partial or prorated refunds. Apple handles Apple refunds; Vimeo or Google can handle Google Play requests.
At the subscription end date, Starter, Standard and Advanced accounts become Free; legacy paid accounts become Basic. A current-plan library over Free's 1 GB limit has its newest videos restricted until storage fits or a paid plan is restored. Restricted videos remain in the account, but cannot play, be edited or downloaded, and their links and embeds stop working.
No pause or hold option is documented for Vimeo hosting plans. Vimeo documents cancellation or downgrading to a lower paid plan instead. Vimeo OTT viewer subscriptions are a separate product and are not covered here.
Canceling does not delete the Vimeo account. Current-plan videos above the Free storage limit are restricted rather than deleted. Account deletion is a separate permanent action that removes the account, videos, collections, likes and comments from Vimeo; Vimeo says it may retain some information internally for restoration or legal purposes.
Frequently asked questions
Does cancelling Vimeo end paid features immediately?
No. Paid features continue through the current billing cycle, then the account lapses to Free or Basic.
Can I get a Vimeo refund?
Monthly subscriptions can qualify within three days of the initial purchase and yearly subscriptions within 14 days. Cancellation alone does not issue a refund, and partial or prorated refunds are not offered.
What happens to my Vimeo videos after cancellation?
On current plans, videos over the Free plan's 1 GB limit become restricted rather than deleted. Restricted videos cannot play, be edited or downloaded, and their links and embeds stop working until storage fits or the account upgrades.
Can I pause a Vimeo hosting plan?
No pause option is documented for Vimeo hosting plans. Vimeo documents cancellation or a lower paid plan instead.
How do Enterprise customers cancel Vimeo?
