Refunds, downgrades, pausing and your data

Four questions people ask before they cancel
Can I get my money back?

Zoho offers a first-month refund for eligible monthly purchases and full renewal refunds within five business days after a monthly renewal or 15 days after an annual renewal. Later refunds are generally unavailable.

Refund possible
Is there a cheaper way to stay?

Cancellation moves the organization to Zoho CRM Free. Records can remain, but paid features and data beyond lower limits may become hidden or inactive.

Read this
Can I pause instead of cancel?

No Zoho CRM subscription pause is documented in the official CRM subscription pages reviewed.

Not available
What happens to my account data?

Moving to Free keeps the CRM organization under Free limits. Deleting the organization is separate and permanent and requires moving to Free and reducing it to the Super Admin first.
