How to Cancel Notion
Need to cancel your Notion subscription? This guide will walk you through the cancellation process step-by-step. Whether you subscribed through Notion's website, we'll show you exactly how to cancel.
Note: After canceling, you'll retain access to Notion features until the end of your current billing period. Your workspace and pages will remain accessible, but you'll be limited to the free tier (1000 blocks, limited file uploads) after your subscription expires.
Step 1: Sign in to Your Notion Account
Go to www.notion.so and sign in with your Notion account credentials.
Step 2: Access Settings
Click on "Settings & Members" in the left sidebar, or click on your workspace name and select "Settings" from the dropdown menu. Alternatively, you can directly visit www.notion.so/settings.
Step 3: Go to Billing Section
In the Settings page, click on "Billing" in the left sidebar. You'll see your current subscription information.
Step 4: Find Your Subscription
Locate your "Notion" or "Plus Plan" subscription. You'll see your current plan details and next billing date.
Step 5: Cancel Plan
Click "Cancel Plan" or "Cancel subscription". Notion will show you information about when your Plus access will end and what features you'll lose.
Step 6: Confirm Cancellation
Review the cancellation details carefully. Notion may show you benefits you'll lose. If you want to proceed, click "Confirm cancellation" or "Cancel Plan" to finalize. You'll receive a confirmation message.
Troubleshooting
I can't find the Cancel button
- Make sure you're signed in to the correct Notion account
- Make sure you're the workspace owner (only owners can cancel subscriptions)
- Try accessing the settings page directly: www.notion.so/settings
- Look for "Billing" in the Settings & Members section
- Clear your browser cache and cookies, then try again
I'm not the workspace owner
Only workspace owners can cancel subscriptions. If you're not the owner, you'll need to ask the owner to cancel the subscription or transfer ownership to you.
I want to pause instead of cancel
Notion doesn't offer a pause option. However, you can cancel and reactivate anytime without losing your workspace or pages.
I'm being charged after cancellation
- Check your email for the cancellation confirmation
- Verify the cancellation date matches the end of your billing period
- Make sure you clicked "Cancel Plan" and confirmed
- Contact Notion Support if charges continue after the cancellation date
What happens to my workspace?
Your workspace and pages will remain accessible after cancellation. However, you'll be limited to the free tier:
- 1000 blocks maximum
- Limited file uploads
- No version history
- Limited collaboration features
What happens if I exceed the free tier limits?
If you exceed the 1000 block limit, you won't be able to create new blocks until you either upgrade again or delete existing content to stay within the limit.
Additional Information
- Reactivation: You can reactivate Notion anytime by visiting www.notion.so/settings and upgrading again
- Workspace: Your workspace and pages remain accessible after cancellation
- Free Tier: After cancellation, you'll be limited to 1000 blocks and limited file uploads
- Ownership: Only workspace owners can cancel subscriptions
- Team Plans: If you have a team plan, canceling affects all team members
Conclusion
You've successfully canceled your Notion subscription! You'll continue to have access to Plus features until the end of your current billing period. After that, you'll be downgraded to the free tier with limited features.
Your workspace and pages are all saved, so you can reactivate anytime. Remember that the free tier has a 1000 block limit. If you need help, Notion Support is available through the Help Center.
