How to cancel Bigin by Zoho

Before you cancel

Export first

• Records from Bigin modules (a whole module or a view), and notes by parent module: Open Settings, Data Administration, Export Data; select the module, a view and the fields, then click Export. Or use the more icon on a view and choose Export this view (A ZIP file of CSV files). Up to 10 exports a day on Free/Trial accounts and 100 a day on paid editions; the export link is available for seven days help.zoho.com
• A full backup of all the data in the Bigin account: In Settings, open Data Administration, then Data Backup, and click Download; a pop-up and an email say when it's ready. Super Admin or Administrator profiles only. Paid editions get two free backups a month; Free or Trial accounts must buy a one-time backup help.zoho.com

What happens to your data

Data stays in the Free edition. Zoho may terminate unpaid accounts inactive for 120 days and delete all their data. Deleting the Bigin account removes records permanently.

What you lose

• Paid-edition features and limits above the Free plan (a single user, 500 records)

Cancel, by who bills you

Pick the route for whoever charges you: the name on your card statement or receipt tells you.

Questions people ask

Keep it for less

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

• Free plan The Free plan (a single user, 500 records) is what cancelling moves you to, and it keeps your data accessible bigin.com help.zoho.com
• Cheaper plan Partially downgrading an annual subscription gives credits for the unused value, as an extension of the subscription for the licenses you keep bigin.com help.zoho.com

For AI agents

• The person signs in and handles any two-factor code; an agent should never ask for a password.
• Cancelling is a downgrade to the Free edition: the account and data stay
• Zoho's Terms: a paid plan renews unless you downgrade to Free before the renewal date or tell Zoho at least 7 days before it
• Missed the renewal? Zoho's refund policy makes you eligible for a full refund if you cancel within 5 business days after a monthly renewal or 15 days after an annual one
• The free trial asks for no card and moves to the Free plan when it ends, so it needs no cancelling
• To delete the Bigin account: export what you need (deleted records can't be recovered), remove the in-built telephony subscription, downgrade to Free and deactivate all other users; 7 days later the Delete Bigin account link appears in Settings > Organization (Company details)
• Unpaid accounts inactive for 120 days may be terminated and their data deleted
• Back up before downgrading: paid editions include two free backups a month, while Free accounts must buy a one-time backup
• Bought in the iPhone app? Apple bills it: cancel in the App Store (Subscriptions, Bigin by Zoho CRM) or in the Bigin app (Settings, your plan, Manage Subscription, Cancel subscription); ask Apple for refunds at reportaproblem.apple.com

Get this plan as data: get_exit_plan on the Stackcut MCP (stackcut.io/mcp), or /exits/bigin.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.

• The on-screen confirmation after Move to Free edition is not documented
• Google Play: the Bigin Android app lists in-app purchases, but Bigin's IAP Android help section shows no readable articles, so no Google Play route is documented; Zoho One bundle billing was not researched
