Before you cancel
What happens to your data
Cancelling doesn't close the account. Spark's Terms say it may close accounts with no paid subscription after more than 36 months of inactivity, and will give notice to back up content.
What you lose
- Paid features on all your devices; the free features stay
- Any credits on the account balance
Cancel, by who bills you

Keep it for less
Before cancelling, check whether one of these does the job. Offers change and differ by account.
- Free plan Cancelling keeps your account on Spark Free, which has the essential features for managing your inbox and connecting multiple accounts sparkmailapp.com sparkmailapp.com
- Pay yearly Yearly billing saves 17% compared with monthly sparkmailapp.com

For AI agents
- The person signs in and handles any two-factor code; an agent should never ask for a password.
- Deleting the app does not cancel the subscription; deleting the Spark account does cancel a Stripe-billed individual subscription
- Apple, Google Play and Huawei subscriptions have to be cancelled in that store's settings, not in Spark
- Some Stripe-billed subscriptions can only be cancelled in the Stripe Customer Portal
- On a team plan, only the Team Owner can cancel, at least 5 business days before the period ends
- Free trials convert to paid; cancel at least 24 hours before the billing date
Get this plan as data: get_exit_plan on the Stackcut MCP (stackcut.io/mcp), or /exits/spark.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.
