Can I cancel Notion at any time?

Yes, you can cancel your Notion subscription at any time. Your paid features will remain active until the end of your current billing cycle, and no further charges will be made.

Will I lose my data if I cancel?

No, your data will not be lost. When you cancel a paid Notion plan, your workspace reverts to the free 'Personal' plan. All your pages and content will still be accessible, though you may encounter limitations based on the free plan's allowances (e.g., block limits for guests, shorter version history).

How do I get a refund?

Notion's refund policy generally states that monthly payments are non-refundable, and annual payments are also typically non-refundable once the service has been used. If you believe you have a special circumstance or were charged in error, you may contact Notion support directly, but a refund is not guaranteed.

What happens if I cancel an annual plan?

If you cancel an annual plan, your subscription will not renew at the end of the current annual term. You will retain access to your paid features for the remainder of the year you have already paid for. Notion's policy usually states that annual payments are non-refundable.

Go to Cancel Page

On the Web / Desktop

Go to the Notion billing and payment help page: https://www.notion.so/help/plans-billing-and-payment. This page provides an overview of plan management and directs you to the relevant settings within your workspace. Log in to your Notion account if prompted.

Once logged in, click on 'Settings & members' in the sidebar of your Notion workspace (usually found under your workspace name).

In the 'Settings & members' window, navigate to 'Billing' 💳 on the left-hand menu. This section displays your current plan and billing details.

Within the 'Billing' section, locate your current plan details and click on 'Change plan' or 'Manage subscription'. This will take you to the page where you can modify or cancel your subscription.

On the plan management page, look for an option like 'Cancel plan' or 'Downgrade'. Click on this option. Expect Notion to present a retention screen, potentially offering a discount or asking you to elaborate on your reason for leaving. You may also see an option to 'Pause subscription'.

To proceed with cancellation, ignore offers to pause or discuss discounts. Select 'Continue to Cancel' or a similar clear cancellation prompt. You may be asked to provide feedback; this is optional but helpful for Notion.

Confirm your cancellation when prompted. Notion will typically require a final confirmation to ensure you intend to cancel your paid subscription. After this, your plan will be marked for cancellation at the end of your current billing period.

You will receive an email confirmation of your cancellation. Keep this email for your records.

Advisory: Cancel Where You Subscribed

You can only stop billing on the platform you originally paid on. If you subscribed inside an app, cancelling on the website won't stop the charge — and vice versa. Watch out for retention “dark patterns” too: keep going until you see a clear “Cancellation Confirmed” screen and a confirmation email.

Aftermath

What Happens After Cancelling Notion?

After cancelling your paid Notion subscription, you will retain access to all paid features until the end of your current billing period. For example, if you are billed monthly on the 15th and cancel on the 5th, your paid features will remain active until the 14th of that month. Once the billing period ends, your workspace will automatically revert to the free 'Personal' plan. All your data will remain in your workspace and will not be deleted, but you will be subject to the limitations of the free plan, such as block limits for guests and limited version history.

Alternative Solutions

Notion Alternatives Worth Considering

For a versatile, free alternative, Google Workspace (including Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides) offers robust collaboration and productivity tools, especially for document creation and sharing. For task management and project organization, Trello (free tier available) provides a simpler, card-based interface that many find intuitive for personal or small team use. If your primary use of Notion is wikis and knowledge base creation, Confluence has a free tier for small teams and integrates well with other Atlassian products.

Pre-Cancellation Review

Before You Cancel — Things to Consider

Export any critical data or pages you wish to keep. Notion allows you to export content as HTML, Markdown, or PDF.
Understand that cancelling stops future charges, but you will retain access to your paid features until the end of your current monthly billing cycle.
If you are on an annual plan, Notion's refund policy specifies that annual payments are generally non-refundable. Monthly plans can be cancelled without pro-rata refunds.
Communicate with any team members in your workspace about the upcoming change, especially if you are the workspace owner.
