Cancel Cloudflare subscriptions

Cancellations take effect at the end of the current billing period. You retain access to paid features until then. To avoid charges for the next billing period, start the cancellation process before your current period ends.

Downgrades follow the same timing — switching from a yearly plan to a monthly plan, or from a paid plan to Free, does not take immediate effect. You continue to have access to the higher-tier service for the remainder of the current billing period. Refunds are not issued for unused time within a billing period.

For some subscriptions, cancellation is done by switching to the Free plan rather than selecting a separate cancel option.

Note

All billing dates are in UTC. Make any downgrades or changes at least 24 hours before your billing date to avoid timing issues.

Warning

Changing the DNS on your domain does not cancel your account or active subscriptions. You must explicitly cancel subscriptions through the Cloudflare dashboard.

Step 1: Disable the Cloudflare subscription

To disable a subscription:

1. In the Cloudflare dashboard, go to the Billing page.

   Go to Billing

2. Select Subscriptions.

3. Select the feature you want to disable under Active Subscriptions (Free or Pro customers) or Plan Extensions (Enterprise customers).

4. Follow the instructions to disable the feature. Each feature has a different process which could include toggling a switch, clicking a button, or choosing Disable from a drop-down list.

Step 2: Cancel the subscription in your billing profile

1. In the Cloudflare dashboard, go to the Billing page.

   Go to Billing

2. Select Subscriptions.

3. Find the subscription you want to disable and select Cancel.

4. Select a reason for cancellation.

5. Select Confirm.

Note

To change your plan instead of cancelling, select Change under Active Subscriptions and choose a new plan type. To cancel a paid plan entirely, select Free.

Warning

Fees are non-refundable. You are billed for the full billing period in which you cancel and no refunds are issued for unused time. After cancellation, you retain access to paid services through the end of the current billing period. For full terms, refer to the Cloudflare Terms of Use ↗.
