Quick Facts
Watch Out
Obsidian Sync can only be cancelled from the web account page at obsidian.md/account — there's no cancel option inside the desktop or mobile app.
The 7-day full refund policy applies to Sync and Publish only. Catalyst licenses and Obsidian Credit are non-refundable.
The Plus plan ($8–$10/mo) offers up to 10 vaults and 10 GB storage. The Standard plan ($4–$5/mo) only gives 1 vault and 1 GB — make sure you're on the right tier before cancelling.
After cancellation, shared vaults stop syncing for all collaborators, not just you.
What Happens After You Cancel
Access
Sync stays active until the end of your billing period. After that, remote vaults stop syncing but your local notes remain untouched as plain Markdown files.
Your data
All notes are stored locally as Markdown files and are never deleted by cancelling Sync. Remote vault data is retained on Obsidian's servers for a period after cancellation.
