How to cancel Hubstaff

The organization owner cancels on the web: organization name, Organizations menu, Actions, Cancel subscription, give a reason, confirm. The organization goes inactive the day before the next billing date and its reports become inaccessible, so export first. Refunds only for first-time customers within 30 days.

Keep it for less

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

  • Free plan Switch the organization to the Free plan instead of archiving it: it has 1 seat, taken by the organization owner hubstaff.com support.hubstaff.com
  • Cheaper plan Move to a cheaper plan, or a shorter subscription term; the change is scheduled for the end of the current subscription term support.hubstaff.com
  • Fewer seats Remove members (or switch them to the Project Viewer role): the open seats drop off when the next subscription term starts. The bill counts members under People > Members at the start of each billing period, including inactive members and those with tracking disabled; removals mid-term earn no refund or credit support.hubstaff.com

For AI agents

  • The person signs in and handles any two-factor code; an agent should never ask for a password.
  • Retention step: The cancel form asks for a cancellation reason/details before the final Cancel subscription button
  • Deactivating your personal account doesn't cancel the organization's subscription
  • Only the organization owner can change the plan or cancel; managers have no billing access
  • Permanently deleting an organization isn't available on the web dashboard: contact Hubstaff to request it
  • Settle the last invoice: the organization only goes inactive once it is paid
  • Removing members mid-term gives no refund or credit; the extra seats drop at the next term
  • Inactive members, and members with tracking disabled, still count as paid seats: remove them or switch them to Project Viewer

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