Log in to your Vercel dashboard
Go to vercel.com and sign in with your account. You can log in with GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, or email. Make sure you are in the correct team if you have multiple.
Navigate to Billing Settings

Click Change Plan or Downgrade
In the billing section, click Change Plan. Select the Hobby (free) plan. Vercel will show you what features and limits change with the downgrade.

What Happens After You Cancel Vercel?
Deployments stay live
Your existing deployments remain accessible on the free Hobby plan. The free tier includes 100GB bandwidth, which is sufficient for most personal and small projects.
Team features are removed
If downgrading from a Team plan, you lose team collaboration features, shared environment variables, and additional team member seats. Projects can be transferred to personal accounts.
Hobby plan is non-commercial
The free Hobby plan is intended for personal, non-commercial projects only. If you are using Vercel for a business or commercial site, you need to stay on a paid plan per their terms of service.
Git integration continues
Your GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket integration keeps working. Push-to-deploy remains active on the free plan, and preview deployments continue for pull requests.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Vercel have a free plan?
Yes. The Vercel Hobby plan is free and includes 100GB bandwidth, serverless functions, edge functions, and unlimited deployments. It is designed for personal, non-commercial projects.
Will my Next.js site stop working?
No. Your Next.js site continues to work on the free plan. All framework features including SSR, ISR, and API routes remain functional within the Hobby tier limits.
What about Vercel Analytics and Speed Insights?
Vercel Analytics and Speed Insights are available on all plans but with reduced data retention on the free tier. You may lose historical analytics data when downgrading.
