Will I lose access immediately after cancelling?

No. Your site and account remain fully active until the end of your current billing cycle. Access is only terminated after the paid period expires.

Can I get a refund after cancelling?

No. Ghost explicitly states no refunds under any circumstances in their Terms of Service, with no documented exception process.

What happens to my site and data after the billing cycle ends?

Your site and account are permanently deleted at the end of the billing cycle. You must export your content (Settings → Labs → Export in Ghost Admin) before cancelling. For a full archive including images and themes, email support@ghost.org before cancelling.

Can I reactivate my account after cancelling?

Since the account is deleted at the end of the billing cycle, reactivation is not formally documented and would likely require a fresh signup. Reach out to support@ghost.org if you need to reactivate before the deletion date.

Can I pause my Ghost(Pro) subscription instead of cancelling?

No. Ghost explicitly does not offer a pause or hold option. The only choices are an active subscription or full cancellation.

Who can cancel a Ghost(Pro) subscription?

Only the publication owner account can access billing and cancel. Admin or staff users do not have this permission.
