Will I lose access immediately after cancelling?

No. Your account remains active until the end of your current billing period. For annual plans, cancellation takes effect at the end of the annual subscription period.

Can I get a refund when I cancel?

ActiveCampaign does not offer prorated refunds for unused time on monthly plans. Users on annual plans may request a refund within 30 days of purchase. Trial account cancellations are not charged at all.

What happens to my data after I cancel?

After cancellation you lose access to your data. Contact data is queued for deletion after 30 days, but may be restorable from ActiveCampaign's most recent backup for up to one year unless you manually delete it first via the deletion feature.

Can I reactivate my account after cancelling?

Yes. You can reactivate your ActiveCampaign account by logging back in and upgrading to a paid plan before your data is permanently deleted.

Can I pause instead of cancel?

Yes, but only if you are on a monthly billing plan. The pause option is presented during the cancellation flow and keeps your account and data intact during the pause period.

I'm on a 'Commit annually, pay monthly' plan — can I cancel online?

No. Users on 'Commit annually, pay monthly' plans must contact ActiveCampaign's Customer Experience team directly to cancel, as the self-serve cancellation flow is not available for this plan type.
