Does Lighthouse CI have a paid subscription?

No. Google's Lighthouse CI (github.com/GoogleChrome/lighthouse-ci) is entirely free and open-source under the Apache-2.0 license. There are no tiers, subscriptions, or billing.

Will I lose access to historical results after stopping?

Only if you self-hosted the LHCI server and delete it. All stored reports live on your own infrastructure — shutting it down removes access to historical data unless you export it first.

Is there a refund to request?

No refund is applicable — Lighthouse CI is free with no charges at any point.

Can I reactivate or start using it again later?

Yes, at any time. Simply reinstall via 'npm install -g @lhci/cli' and reconfigure your CI pipeline. There is no account required.

Is this the same as other 'Lighthouse' services like GetLighthouse.com or LighthouseApp.com?

No. Google's Lighthouse CI (github.com/GoogleChrome/lighthouse-ci) is a developer tool for automated web performance auditing. GetLighthouse.com and LighthouseApp.com are separate, unrelated paid SaaS products with their own cancellation processes.

How do I export my Lighthouse CI data before stopping?

If you used the self-hosted LHCI server, you can export reports via the LHCI server API or by directly querying its SQLite/PostgreSQL database before shutting it down.

Confirm Lighthouse CI is free/open-source

Google's Lighthouse CI (github.com/GoogleChrome/lighthouse-ci) is an open-source, Apache-2.0 licensed tool with no subscription or billing model. There is no account to cancel — the tool is free to use and self-hosted.

Stop running Lighthouse CI in your pipeline

Remove or disable the Lighthouse CI step from your CI configuration file (e.g., GitHub Actions workflow .yml, CircleCI config, etc.). Delete or comment out the 'lhci' job or step.

Remove the LHCI server (if self-hosted)

If you deployed the optional Lighthouse CI server for storing results, shut it down and remove its database. The server is self-managed — there is no cloud service or vendor to notify.

Uninstall npm packages

Run 'npm uninstall @lhci/cli' and/or 'npm uninstall @lhci/server' in your project to remove Lighthouse CI dependencies. Remove any .lighthouserc.js or lighthouserc.json configuration files.
