Sprout Social-specific things to know

These details can help you avoid common issues when cancelling your Sprout Social subscription.

Admin access required for team plans
Only account administrators can cancel team subscriptions. Regular team members won't see billing options in their settings.
Data export available before cancelling
Download your analytics reports and content calendar before cancelling, as access ends immediately when the billing period expires.
Annual plans continue until renewal
If you're on an annual plan, cancelling prevents the next year's charge but doesn't provide a refund for unused months.

Before you cancel, keep this in mind

Check these points to avoid issues with your Sprout Social cancellation.

1. Check who manages your billing

If someone else set up the account or pays for it, you may not have permission to cancel. Contact your account administrator first.

2. Your access continues until period ends

Cancelling stops future charges but doesn't end your current subscription immediately. You keep access until the next billing date.

3. Download important data first

Export analytics reports, content calendars, and any other data you need before your access expires at the end of the billing period.

Consider these alternatives

If cost is the main issue, you might be able to downgrade or adjust your plan instead of cancelling completely.

Downgrade your Sprout Social plan

Sprout Social offers multiple pricing tiers. You can downgrade to a lower plan if you need fewer features or users rather than cancelling entirely.

  • Standard - Basic scheduling and publishing

  • Professional - Adds analytics and competitive research

  • Advanced - Includes advanced analytics and automation

  • Enterprise - Custom pricing with premium features
