Request cancellation in the LiveChat panel under Billing, or through the chat widget: Support finishes it in chat. The plan stays active to the end of the paid period, with no refunds. Adding users before the cancellation is final withdraws the request.

Keep it for less

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

  • Cheaper plan Move to a cheaper plan in Billing, then Manage. On current (pay per agent) billing, a downgrade starts at the next billing cycle with no credits or refunds; on the legacy pay-per-seat model, the price difference is credited to your next invoice livechat.com livechat.com
  • Fewer seats Lower the number of paid agent accounts in your subscription; suspending an agent doesn't lower the charge by itself livechat.com livechat.com
  • Pay yearly Annual billing saves 15% of the total compared with monthly; you pay for 12 months upfront livechat.com livechat.com
  • Discount program Non-profit organizations and educational institutions can ask the sales team about additional discounts before choosing a plan livechat.com

For AI agents

  • The person signs in and handles any two-factor code; an agent should never ask for a password.
  • This one needs a phone call or a chat: a browser agent can prepare it, but a person (or a calling service) finishes it.
  • Only the owner and admins with access to the subscription can change billing
  • Cancelling starts a chat with Support; the Billing tab is the place to start
  • Adding users after requesting cancellation withdraws the request, and prorated fees may apply
  • On current billing, downgrades take effect at the next cycle with no credits or refunds
  • Suspending agents doesn't lower the bill: reduce the paid agent count

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