In the left sidebar, click on Billing. This will show your current plan details and billing information.

Look for Change Plan or Downgrade options. You can either downgrade to the free Basic plan or cancel your subscription entirely.

SurveyMonkey-specific things to know

SurveyMonkey billing works differently for teams versus individual accounts. These tips cover important details.

Team plans require admin access
If you're on a team plan, only the account administrator can make billing changes or cancel the subscription. Contact your team admin if you need to cancel.
Data exports before downgrading
Export your survey data and responses before downgrading. Free accounts have limited access to historical data and advanced export formats.
Annual plans bill once yearly
Most SurveyMonkey paid plans bill annually. Check your billing date to avoid surprise renewal charges if you're planning to cancel.

Before you cancel, keep this in mind

These details can help you avoid losing data or getting unexpected charges.

1. Check if you're on a team account

If another organization is paying for your SurveyMonkey access, you can't cancel from your individual account. The team administrator controls the billing.

2. Download your data first

Export important survey responses and data before cancelling. Free accounts have limited access to response data and may lose historical surveys.

3. Your plan stays active until billing period ends

After cancelling, you'll keep your current plan features until your next billing date. The cancellation prevents future charges but doesn't end access immediately.

Other options to consider

If cost is the main issue, downgrading might work better than cancelling completely.

Downgrade your SurveyMonkey plan

SurveyMonkey offers several plan tiers, including a free Basic plan that might meet your needs if you only run simple surveys occasionally.

  • Basic (Free) - 10 questions per survey, 100 responses per survey

  • Standard ($25/month) - Unlimited questions and responses, basic data export

  • Advantage ($32/month) - Advanced question types and survey logic

Switch Your Billing Cycle

SurveyMonkey plans can be billed monthly or annually, with annual plans offering significant savings.

Annual billing typically saves 20-25% compared to monthly payments

Share Your Plan

SurveyMonkey offers team plans that can be shared among multiple users, potentially reducing per-person costs for organizations.

Alternative ways to cancel SurveyMonkey

Most users can cancel directly through their SurveyMonkey account. Here are alternatives if you're having trouble.
