Do I lose my data when I downgrade to the Free plan?

No data is deleted when you downgrade. However, workspaces, bases, and interfaces that exceed the Free plan's limits (e.g., 1,000 records per base, 100 automation runs per month) will show banners and have limited functionality until you bring usage within Free plan limits or re-upgrade.

Can I get a refund after cancelling?

Airtable's standard policy is no refunds for unused time on monthly or annual plans. Refund requests can be submitted via their support form at support.airtable.com, but are evaluated case-by-case. Annual plan holders who cancel early are generally not refunded the remaining months.

When does the cancellation (downgrade) take effect?

The downgrade takes effect at the end of your current billing cycle. You retain full paid-plan access until that date and are not charged again afterward.

Can I reactivate my paid plan after cancelling?

Yes. You can upgrade back to a paid plan at any time from Account → Billing → Change plan. Your data and configurations will still be there, though any that exceeded Free plan limits will have been read-only in the interim.

Who can cancel an Airtable workspace subscription?

Only the workspace Owner can change or cancel the billing plan. Admins and members do not have access to billing settings. If you are not the owner, you must contact the workspace owner to request the downgrade.

What happens to automations if I downgrade from a paid plan?

On the Free plan, automations are limited to 100 runs per month. Any automations that would exceed this limit will be paused. Automation configurations are preserved and will resume if you re-upgrade to a paid plan.

Log in to Airtable

Go to airtable.com and sign in with the account that owns the paid workspace you want to cancel.

Open Account Settings

Click your profile avatar or initials in the top-right corner of the dashboard, then select 'Account' from the dropdown menu.

In Account Settings, click the 'Billing' tab in the left sidebar. Note: only the workspace Owner can access billing. For Business plan workspaces, navigate instead to airtable.com/admin → Settings → Billing.

Select the workspace to cancel

If you have multiple workspaces, identify the paid workspace you want to cancel. Each workspace is billed separately and must be downgraded individually.

Find your current plan (Team or Business) and click the 'Change plan' button next to it.

Choose the Free plan

On the plan selection screen, select 'Free' (the $0/month option) and click 'Downgrade to Free' or 'Select Free plan' to confirm your choice.

Confirm the downgrade

A confirmation dialog will appear summarizing what you will lose (e.g., automation run limits, extension access, record limits). Click 'Confirm downgrade' to finalize. The plan change takes effect at the end of your current billing cycle.

Check your email for confirmation

Airtable sends a confirmation email to the account owner. Save this as proof of cancellation for your records.
