How to cancel ClickUp

Before you cancel

Export first

• Task data from chosen locations (task names, descriptions, assignees, tags, dates, statuses, comments and more; attachments by name only): Click the Workspace avatar, then Settings; in the All settings sidebar select Imports / Exports, click Export Items, choose locations in the Select locations dropdown, click Start Export, then Download Export when it's ready (CSV). Feature availability and limits vary by plan and user role; an email with a link to the CSV also arrives help.clickup.com

What happens to your data

Data remains in the Workspace and can be accessed if you upgrade again. If ClickUp terminates access, content is no longer accessible through the account.

What you lose

• Paid-plan features; the Free Forever plan has limits such as 60MB of storage and 5 Spaces
• Add-on features once their billing cycle ends

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 Forever plan allows unlimited free plan members, with limits such as 60MB of storage and 5 Spaces clickup.com
• Cheaper plan Downgrade to a cheaper plan in Settings, Billing; it applies at the end of the billing cycle and your data stays in the Workspace help.clickup.com
• Cheaper plan Keep the plan but cancel add-ons (such as Brain AI, AI Notetaker or AI Talk to Text): owners and admins can stop their auto-renewal, and they run to the end of the billing cycle help.clickup.com help.clickup.com
• Pay yearly Yearly billing saves up to 30% (but annual plans need 30 days' notice to cancel or downgrade) clickup.com clickup.com
• Student or nonprofit price ClickUp offers discounts on the Unlimited plan to some nonprofits and educators; contact Support for customized pricing help.clickup.com

Cheaper ways to get the same job done

Stackcut prices the alternatives to ClickUp from public list prices.

For AI agents

• The person signs in and handles any two-factor code; an agent should never ask for a password.
• Only a Workspace owner or admin can downgrade or cancel
• Annual plans: cancel or downgrade at least 30 days before the renewal date, or the account renews and is charged
• Add-ons are independent of the plan: cancel each one separately
• Removing someone from a paid plan leaves their seat open for reassignment; it isn't documented as lowering the bill
• Deleting your account is permanent, and owners of Workspaces with other users must first transfer ownership, delete the Workspace or remove all users; it isn't described as cancelling billing
• Refunds only under the 30-day Satisfaction Guarantee for a first purchase or an upgrade

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