Keep it for less
Before cancelling, check whether one of these does the job. Offers change and differ by account.
- Free plan Cancelled paid accounts revert to Freemium automatically: lead management and app navigation (campaigns, reports, leads, settings, tasks: view and prep) stay available, but you can't launch or send campaigns help.lemlist.com
- Fewer seats In Settings, Billing & Users, click Manage in the Subscription section, enter the new number of seats and click Update. Seat downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period, with no pro-rata refund help.lemlist.com

For AI agents
- The person signs in and handles any two-factor code; an agent should never ask for a password.
- Retention step: After confirming, lemlist may ask for feedback; it's optional
- Only an Admin can cancel the plan: check your role under Settings, Team
- Add-ons (WhatsApp, additional email slots, Enrichment) are cancelled separately
- Lead Finder is a separate monthly subscription: under the Terms it stops only with written notice of non-renewal, with acknowledgment of receipt, at least one day before renewal
- Cancelling isn't deleting: data is kept indefinitely on the free plan. Deleting means cancelling first, then asking lemlist's privacy team; it's irreversible
- The Terms refund nothing for a month or year already begun, so time the cancellation before the next renewal
- You can reactivate any time before the billing period ends
Get this plan as data: get_exit_plan on the Stackcut MCP (stackcut.io/mcp), or /exits/lemlist.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.
