Cancel Ahrefs Step by Step
Log in as the account owner
Visit ahrefs.com and sign in. Only the billing owner or admin can cancel a paid plan. If you're not the owner, ask your team admin to handle this.
Go to Account > Billing
Open your account settings and find the Billing or Subscription section. For Ahrefs, this is usually accessible from the sidebar or dropdown menu.
Select Cancel or Change Plan
Click Cancel Subscription or Change Plan. If Ahrefs offers a free tier, you may want to downgrade instead of fully deleting your account — this preserves your data and projects.
Save your confirmation
After confirming, save the confirmation email and note your final billing date. Your premium features will remain active until then.
Pro Tip
If you're on a team or enterprise plan, only the account owner/admin can cancel.

What Happens After You Cancel Ahrefs?
You keep access until the billing period ends
Ahrefs continues working normally until your paid period expires. After that, you'll be moved to the free tier (if available) or lose access.
Export your data before it's gone
Most productivity tools give you 30-90 days to export your data after canceling. Don't wait — download your files, projects, and documents right away.
Team members lose access too
If you cancel a team plan, all team members lose premium features. Make sure to notify your team and migrate shared resources.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will I lose my data if I cancel Ahrefs?
It depends. If Ahrefs has a free tier, your data is usually preserved but with limited features. If there's no free tier, you typically have 30-90 days to export data before deletion. Export everything before canceling.
Can I downgrade Ahrefs instead of canceling?
Yes, most SaaS tools offer a free or lower tier. Downgrading stops charges while preserving your account, data, and integrations. This is usually the best option if you might return later.
How do I cancel a Ahrefs team or enterprise plan?
Only the account owner or billing admin can cancel team plans. Go to your admin console or billing settings. You may need to contact Ahrefs's sales team directly for enterprise cancellations.
