Will I lose access immediately after cancelling?

No. Your subscription stays active until the end of the current billing cycle (the day before the next scheduled billing date). After that, the account automatically downgrades to the free Ahrefs Webmaster Tools tier.

Can I get a refund after cancelling?

Ahrefs generally does not offer refunds or prorated credits for unused time. If you cancel mid-cycle, you keep access until the cycle ends but will not be reimbursed for the remaining days.

How do I reactivate my subscription after cancelling?

Log back into your Ahrefs account and navigate to Account Settings → Billing → Subscriptions to choose a new plan and resubscribe at any time.

Does cancelling delete my account and data?

No. Cancelling only stops future charges and downgrades your plan. To permanently delete your account and all associated data, you must contact Ahrefs support directly via email at support@ahrefs.com or through the live chat in the dashboard and explicitly request account deletion.

Can I pause my subscription instead of cancelling?

Ahrefs does not offer a pause or suspend option. Your only choices are to keep the subscription active or cancel it entirely.

Can I cancel via email or chat instead of the website?

Yes. You can send a cancellation request to support@ahrefs.com from your registered email address, or use the live chat feature accessible from within your Ahrefs dashboard.
