What happens when I cancel my subscription?

If you’re considering canceling your MailerLite subscription, here’s what you need to know about the process and how it affects what you are able to do in your account:

Account downgrade to Free plan

Once you cancel your subscription, your account will automatically downgrade to the Free plan after your current billing cycle ends. You won’t be charged again.

Feature limitations

The Free plan offers fewer features than paid plans.

Certain advanced functionalities will no longer be available when your account downgrades to free, such as access to premium templates, some automation features, and advanced reporting.

Furthermore, custom domains must be removed prior to downgrading to the Free plan, and landing page limits may also apply (fewer than 10 published pages).

User access

The Free plan permits only one user per account. If your account has multiple users, additional users will be automatically removed during the downgrade.

If you upgrade again in the future, you can re-add additional users to your account.

Subscriber limit

The Free plan supports up to 500 active subscribers. If your current subscriber count exceeds this limit, you’ll need to reduce your active subscribers to 500 or fewer to ensure the downgrade is successful.

If this is not done, there may be restrictions on sending campaigns until the limit is met.

Data retention

All your data, including subscribers, campaigns, and reports, will remain intact in your account when you downgrade to a free plan.

Although, access to certain features or historical data may be limited.

Email sending

The Free plan restricts the number of emails you can send per month to 12,000.

🔔 Campaigns and automations

After downgrading, some automated workflows might be disabled due to feature limitations.

How to cancel your subscription

  1. Go to Account settings.

  2. Navigate to Plan and billing:

  3. Click Cancel subscription.


4. Follow the prompts to confirm your cancellation.

You can upgrade your plan at any time to regain access to premium features and higher subscriber limits.

Upgrading is straightforward, and all your data will be readily available once you switch to a paid plan. 😊


Custom Domains and Landing Pages

Canceling your subscription removes access to custom domains, but your sites will still be hosted on the default MailerLite URL. Previously set DNS records remain valid and can be reused if you re-subscribe.
