Keep it for less

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

  • Pay yearly Switch Pro from monthly to annual billing, which is billed once a year at a discounted rate (Settings, then Billing, then Adjust plan). The switch is immediate, and unused monthly time is credited to the first annual invoice support.claude.com support.claude.com
  • Free plan Cancel and keep using the free version of Claude, with less usage per session than Pro support.claude.com

For AI agents

  • The person signs in and handles any two-factor code; an agent should never ask for a password.
  • An Apple refund request doesn't cancel the subscription, so cancel it separately; for web purchases, an eligible refund in the support messenger also cancels the plan
  • Removing the app does not cancel an app store subscription; cancel in Apple or Google Play settings

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

Delete your account (separate from cancelling)

Cancelling stops the payments; deleting removes the account and its data. Delete-account page (rated easy).
