How to Cancel Slack — Step-by-Step Guide (2026)

⏰ 3-5 minutes medium Last Updated: 2026-05-22 $8.75/mo Reviewed by Bill Vampire Editorial Team

Only Workspace Owners or Admins can cancel a Slack paid plan. Canceling downgrades your workspace to the free tier — you keep your messages but lose access to older history beyond 90 days.

Official account or cancellation path Slack

Go to Slack Billing settings

Open your Slack workspace in a browser. Click your workspace name → Settings & administration → Workspace settings → Billing.

You must be a Workspace Owner or Admin to access billing settings.

Click "Manage plan" or navigate to subscription

In the Billing page, find your current plan (Pro or Business+) and click "Manage plan" or "Change plan".

Select "Switch to Free" or "Cancel plan"

Choose to downgrade to the Free plan. Slack will show you what you'll lose (message history beyond 90 days, unlimited apps, guest access, etc.).

Export your workspace data first (Settings → Import/Export Data) if you need full message history. The export includes everything.

Already charged? Keep the receipt and the cancellation confirmation. They are the useful part of a refund request.

Confirm the downgrade

Confirm your choice. The paid features remain active until the end of your billing period. After that, your workspace switches to the Free tier.

On the free plan, messages older than 90 days are hidden (not deleted). If you upgrade again later, they reappear.

⚠️ Watch out

✓ Refund may be possible

Slack offers prorated credits for unused time on annual plans. These credits can be applied to future charges or refunded. Monthly plans are not refunded for partial periods.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I lose my Slack messages if I cancel?
Messages are hidden (not deleted) on the free plan — only the last 90 days are visible. Upgrading again restores full history. You can also export all data before downgrading.
Can I get a refund from Slack?
Slack prorates refunds for unused time on annual plans. Contact Slack support or check billing settings for credit balance. Monthly plans don't get partial refunds.
What happens to my Slack integrations?
Free tier allows up to 10 app integrations. If you have more, they'll be disabled (not deleted). You choose which 10 to keep active.
Can a regular member cancel Slack?
No. Only Workspace Owners and Admins can manage billing and cancel/downgrade the plan. Contact your workspace admin.
