Thumbtack-specific things to know

Thumbtack billing works differently than most subscriptions. These tips cover important details about credits and timing.

Credits don't roll over
Unused credits expire at the end of each billing cycle, so use them before cancelling or switching plans.
Cancel before your renewal date
Check your billing cycle in settings. Cancel at least 24 hours before renewal to avoid being charged for the next period.
Pay-per-lead doesn't need cancelling
If you only pay per contact without a subscription, there's nothing to cancel. Just stop responding to leads.

Before you cancel, keep this in mind

These details can affect your cancellation timing and whether you lose access to features.

1. Check your current credit balance

Any unused credits will be lost when your subscription ends, so consider using them for leads before cancelling.

2. Review your lead pipeline

You'll still receive messages from customers who contacted you before cancelling, but won't get new lead opportunities.

3. Note your renewal date

Your subscription stays active until the end of the current billing period, so you can still use credits until then.

Other options to consider

If you're cancelling due to cost or lead quality, you might want to try adjusting your settings instead.

Downgrade your credit plan

Thumbtack offers different monthly credit packages. You might find a smaller package that better fits your lead volume needs.

  • Starter plans with fewer monthly credits

  • Custom credit amounts based on your needs

  • Switch to pay-per-lead only

If you can't cancel through your Thumbtack account, you may need to go through your app store or contact support depending on how you're being billed.
