Will I lose access immediately after cancelling?

No. Your subscription remains active until the end of your current billing period. After that, your account is automatically downgraded to the free Ahrefs Webmaster Tools (AWT) plan, which gives you limited access to Site Explorer and Site Audit for your own verified domains.

Can I get a refund after cancelling?

Ahrefs does not publicly advertise a refund policy. Subscriptions are generally non-refundable and cancellation takes effect at the next billing cycle. For refund requests, contact support at [email protected] or via live chat — outcomes are handled case by case.

Can I reactivate my subscription after cancelling?

Yes. You can reactivate at any time by going back to the Billing section in your Account Settings and selecting a new plan. Your historical data and settings are retained during the free AWT period.

Can I pause my Ahrefs subscription instead of cancelling?

No. Ahrefs does not offer a pause or suspend option for subscriptions. Your only options are to keep the subscription active or cancel it entirely.

What happens to my data after I cancel?

Your account is downgraded to the free AWT plan rather than deleted. Your project data, reports, and settings are preserved. If you want your account and personal data fully deleted, you need to separately request account deletion by contacting [email protected].

How do I cancel if I subscribed through a third party or reseller?

If your Ahrefs subscription was purchased through a reseller, agency, or billing partner, you must cancel directly with that third party — the in-app cancellation flow only applies to direct Ahrefs subscriptions. Contact [email protected] if you are unsure of your billing source.
