Can I still use my project after canceling?

If you delete the project, access is immediately and permanently lost — all data, deployments, and domains are deleted. If you instead downgrade to the free plan, the paid plan remains active until the end of the current billing period, after which the free plan takes effect.

Will I receive a refund after canceling?

No. Strapi does not issue refunds for cancellations made during an active subscription period. The subscription remains active until the last day of the current billing period.

Can I reactivate my project after deleting it?

No. Deleting a Strapi Cloud project is permanent and irreversible. You would need to create a new project from scratch. If you only want to pause spending, downgrading to the free plan is a safer option.

Who can cancel or delete a Strapi Cloud project?

Only the project owner can cancel or delete a Strapi Cloud project. Team members with other roles do not have access to the Danger Zone settings.

Is there an alternative to deleting the project to stop being charged?

Yes. Instead of deleting the project, you can downgrade to the free plan by going to Settings > Subscription and selecting the free tier. This stops future charges while preserving your project data, though you may lose access to paid features and backups.

Can I cancel via email or support instead of through the dashboard?

Yes. You can also submit a cancellation request through Strapi's online support ticketing system at support.strapi.io, or by emailing their support team with your Order ID.
