Do I keep access after canceling?

Yes, you retain access until the end of your current billing period. After that, the account is suspended for 24 hours, then all data is permanently deleted 14 days after the subscription end date.

Freshdesk does not publicly document a refund policy. Annual plans are non-refundable mid-term and cancellation takes effect at the next renewal date. Monthly plans stop billing at the end of the current period. Contact billing@freshworks.com for refund inquiries.

Can I reactivate my account after canceling?

Yes, but only within 14 days of cancellation. Contact support@freshdesk.com to request reactivation before the permanent deletion window closes.

What happens to my data?

Freshdesk permanently deletes your account and all account data 14 days after your subscription end date. Export all tickets, contacts, and knowledge base content before canceling, as exports can take up to 10 business days.

Is there a free plan I can downgrade to instead of canceling?

Yes. Go to Admin > Account > Plans and Billing, click 'Switch plan', then select 'Try out our free Program'. The Free plan supports up to 10 agents with email ticketing, a knowledge base, and mobile app access. Ticket history is preserved on downgrade, but SLA management, automations, custom fields, and CSAT surveys are lost.

Who can cancel a Freshdesk account?

Only the Account Administrator can request cancellation. If you are not the account admin, you will not see the 'Cancel account' button in Account Details.
