Hootsuite-specific things to know

A few things that might affect your Hootsuite cancellation.

Annual plans have different renewal dates
If you're on an annual plan, check when your subscription renews to avoid being charged for another full year.
Team accounts need admin access
Only account administrators can cancel Hootsuite subscriptions. Regular team members won't see cancellation options.
Free plan still available after cancelling
You can downgrade to Hootsuite's free plan instead of cancelling completely if you only need basic features.

Before you cancel, keep this in mind

These details can affect your cancellation timing or whether it goes through properly.

1. Check who's billing you

If you signed up through an app store or third-party reseller, you'll need to cancel through them instead of Hootsuite directly.

2. Access continues until billing period ends

You'll keep full access to your Hootsuite account until your current billing cycle ends, even after cancelling.

3. Deleting the app doesn't cancel

Removing the Hootsuite app from your phone doesn't cancel your subscription. You must cancel through your account settings.

Consider these alternatives

If you're cancelling due to cost or features, you might be able to downgrade or adjust your billing instead.

Downgrade your Hootsuite plan

Hootsuite offers multiple plan tiers, including a free option. You might be able to downgrade to a cheaper plan that still meets your needs.

  • Free Plan - 3 social profiles, 5 scheduled messages

  • Professional - Starting at $49/month

  • Team - Starting at $129/month
