Quick Facts
Watch Out
Slack frames cancellation as 'Downgrade to Free' — there is no 'Cancel' button. Many users can't find it because they're looking for the wrong label.
Only the Workspace Owner can cancel or downgrade the plan. Admins and members do not have access to billing settings.
When you cancel, Slack issues credits (not cash refunds) for any unused portion of your paid plan. Credits can only be used for future Slack purchases — they cannot be withdrawn or transferred.
Free plan limits that kick in: 90-day message history (older messages hidden, not deleted), 10 app integrations, 1:1 audio/video calls only (no group calls), 10 workflows per month.
Per-seat billing means your cost scales with team size. A 10-person team on Pro monthly pays $87.50/month — easy to forget when reviewing bank statements.
If you subscribed via Salesforce (Slack's parent company), billing may be handled through a Salesforce contract — contact your account rep instead of using self-serve billing.
Annual plan customers who cancel mid-term get Slack credits for unused months, but the credits expire when the paid plan terminates.
What Happens After You Cancel
Access
Paid features remain active until end of billing period or you can switch immediately to the free plan.
Your data
All messages, files, and channels are retained on the free plan, but message history is limited to 90 days and 10 apps. Nothing is deleted — older messages just become inaccessible until you resubscribe.
