Canceling a subscription can be more confusing than it should be, especially with a service as widely used as Slack. I genuinely appreciate Slack for its user-friendly interface and the way it keeps teams connected—it’s been a game changer for remote collaboration. But whether your project is ending, your team is moving platforms, or you simply want to cut costs, you’re in the right place! I’ve been through the Slack cancellation process myself and will walk you through it step by step, so you’re never left guessing.
How to Cancel Slack Subscription
Don’t worry—the process is fairly straightforward. Here’s exactly how to cancel your Slack subscription as an owner or admin:
- Sign in to Slack via a web browser at https://slack.com (desktop is best).
- Click on your workspace name in the top left corner, then select Settings & administration > Billing.
- In the Billing section, go to Billing Details or Payment.
- Select Manage subscription.
- Click on Change plan and choose Free (if you’re downgrading) OR find the option to Cancel paid subscription at the bottom.
- Follow the prompts to confirm your cancellation or downgrade.
- You’ll receive a confirmation email—check your inbox to be sure! If you don’t see it, contact Slack support to double-check your status.
Refund policy: Slack does not typically offer refunds for unused time on paid plans, but you’ll keep your paid features until your current billing period ends.
Canceling Slack Subscription via iOS or Android
Slack subscriptions are usually managed directly through Slack’s website, not via Apple’s App Store or Google Play subscriptions. If you signed up through either of those stores (rare for Slack), cancel via your Apple/Google Play subscriptions in device settings.
