Watch Out

Monthly plans get no refund for partial months — only annual plans are eligible for a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Only the account owner can access billing pages or cancel the subscription — team members cannot.

Cancelling downgrades you to Free (3 channels, 30 posts each). If you have more channels connected, you'll lose access to the extras.

If you subscribed via the iOS App Store or Google Play, you must cancel through that platform — not through Buffer's website.

Deleting your Buffer account is separate from cancelling your plan and is permanent — all data is erased.

What Happens After You Cancel

Access

You keep access to paid features until the end of your billing cycle, then you're downgraded to the Free plan with up to 3 channels and 30 posts per channel.

Your data

Your connected channels and scheduled posts remain intact after downgrading. Deleting your account permanently removes all data and published post history from Buffer (posts already published to social media stay live).
