The short answer
- Where: Sign in to the Cartesia playground and open the subscription page, where your balance and the overages setting are (play.cartesia.ai).
- When it ends: You keep the paid tier and its features through the end of the period already paid for; then the account is downgraded automatically. Credits stay in your account until you use them.

What you lose

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 includes 20K credits a month and $1 of prepaid agent usage cartesia.ai
- Cheaper plan Move to a lower tier: the change applies at the end of the period, and you keep all the credits you've already paid for (the rollover cap resets to 2x the new plan's monthly rate) cartesia.ai
For AI agents
- The person signs in and handles any two-factor code; an agent should never ask for a password.
- Overages are opt-in for paid users: if they're on, turn them off to stop usage charges past the allotment; requests then fail until the next renewal or an upgrade
- Cancel before the monthly renewal date; there are no refunds or credits for a partly used month
- Email support@cartesia.ai works as an alternative to the cancel subscription button
- Cartesia can change plans or prices after reasonable notice
Get this plan as data: get_exit_plan on the Stackcut MCP (stackcut.io/mcp), or /exits/cartesia.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.
