Does DuckDB have a paid subscription?

No. DuckDB (duckdb.org) is completely free and open-source under the MIT license. There are no tiers, no accounts, and no billing. You can download and use all features at no cost.

What happens to my data if I stop using DuckDB?

DuckDB stores data in local .duckdb files on your own machine. If you stop using DuckDB, your data remains on disk until you manually delete those files. There is no cloud storage or account to deactivate.

Is MotherDuck the same as DuckDB?

No. MotherDuck (motherduck.com) is a separate commercial company that offers a managed cloud service built on top of DuckDB. MotherDuck has paid plans (Business tier at ~$250/month), but DuckDB itself has no affiliation with MotherDuck's billing.

Can I get a refund for DuckDB?

There is nothing to refund — DuckDB is free. If you were charged for something labeled as 'DuckDB', it was likely a third-party service (e.g., MotherDuck, a book/course, or an AWS Marketplace listing). Contact that vendor directly for refund requests.

How do I cancel a DuckDB Labs support contract?

DuckDB Labs (duckdblabs.com) offers paid commercial support contracts for enterprises. To cancel, contact them directly via their support page at duckdblabs.com/support — there is no self-serve cancellation portal.

Will I lose access to DuckDB after 'canceling'?

No. Because DuckDB is open-source, you always retain access to the software regardless of any third-party services you cancel. The code is permanently available on GitHub (github.com/duckdb/duckdb) and at duckdb.org.

Verify you have no active subscription

DuckDB (duckdb.org) is a completely free, open-source database released under the MIT license. There is no paid subscription, account, or billing associated with using DuckDB itself. Visit duckdb.org to confirm — no login or payment is ever required.

Check if you have a MotherDuck account instead

If you are paying for a DuckDB-related service, you likely have a MotherDuck (motherduck.com) account — a separate commercial cloud service built on DuckDB. Log in at app.motherduck.com to check your billing status.

Cancel MotherDuck subscription (if applicable)

In the MotherDuck UI, navigate to Settings → Billing → Manage Plan. From there you can downgrade to the Free tier or cancel your Business plan subscription.

Uninstall DuckDB locally (optional)

Since DuckDB is a local library/binary (no cloud component), simply remove it: delete the duckdb binary, uninstall the pip package ('pip uninstall duckdb'), remove the npm package, or delete your .duckdb data files as needed.
