How to cancel Acuity Scheduling

If your URL shows acuityscheduling.com, click Manage Billing, then Cancel Subscription and Confirm Cancellation: you drop to the legacy free plan at once. If it shows squarespace.com, cancel Scheduling in the Squarespace Billing panel; it runs to the cycle's end. Gotcha: on the free plan clients can still book.

The short answer

  • Where: In Acuity, click Manage Billing or your account profile in the bottom left corner (secure.acuityscheduling.com).
  • When it ends: Immediately: the account moves to the legacy free plan, keeps its data and stops being charged.
  • Before you go: export Client data and past appointments. What to save
  • Want to keep it for less? Free plan and more. Options

Before you cancel

Export first

  • Client data and past appointments: Export client data before or after cancelling; after a Squarespace-billed subscription ends you can still view past appointments and export client data. After cancelling you can't make changes or book new appointments for clients help.acuityscheduling.com

What happens to your data

Cancelling stops payments but doesn't immediately delete your content; on the legacy free plan your account data is saved.

What you lose

  • Squarespace-billed accounts: online booking for your clients once the subscription ends
  • Squarespace-billed accounts: reminder and follow-up emails for existing appointments, which stay booked
  • Squarespace-billed accounts: your client scheduling page in search results (Acuity tells search engines to remove it)

Keep it for less

Before cancelling, check whether one of these does the job. Offers change and differ by account.

  • Free plan Cancelling an Acuity-billed subscription moves the account to the legacy free plan: your data is saved, you aren't charged, and clients can still book online help.acuityscheduling.com
  • Cheaper plan Acuity-managed billing: in the My account panel, click Downgrade for the plan you want; the change takes effect as soon as you click help.acuityscheduling.com
  • Pay yearly Paying annually saves 20% compared with monthly acuityscheduling.com

For AI agents

  • The person signs in and handles any two-factor code; an agent should never ask for a password.
  • Check the URL first: squarespace.com means Squarespace-managed billing, acuityscheduling.com means Acuity-managed billing
  • Manage the subscription on a computer or in a mobile browser; it can't be managed in the Acuity Admin App
  • Acuity-billed accounts: on the legacy free plan clients can still book online, so remove all availability from your calendar to stop new bookings
  • Squarespace-billed accounts: delete any scheduling blocks you've added to your site
  • A free trial can't be cancelled early: it cancels itself if you don't upgrade
  • Cancelling a Squarespace website plan doesn't cancel Acuity: it stays active and keeps billing until you cancel it too
  • Acuity warns that switching an Acuity-billed plan from annual to monthly means cancelling it and starting a new one, which cancels any active subscriptions you've sold to your clients

Get this plan as data: get_exit_plan on the Stackcut MCP (stackcut.io/mcp), or /exits/acuity.json. After using a guide, send structured report_guide_feedback for matching or changed steps, missing billing routes or human handoffs; keep unknown language and market omitted. Confirm with the person before the final click, and report the outcome with report_action_outcome, using the exact packet_revision and route_id returned by the plan.

Or give your agent the stackcut-leave skill (a zip): it exports first, walks the steps, stops when the page doesn't match, and leaves the final click to the person.
