How to Cancel a Cursor Subscription
For a subscription billed through Cursor, go to the Cursor billing dashboard, select Manage in Stripe, choose Cancel Subscription, and confirm the cancellation in the Stripe billing portal. Cursor’s cancellation instructions
Direct answer
The Stripe steps apply only to subscriptions managed through cursor.com. If you bought the subscription through the iOS app, Apple manages cancellation. If you bought it through the Grok Bot Android app, Google Play manages cancellation instead. Cursor’s cancellation instructions
After you cancel a Cursor-billed paid plan, paid features remain available until the end of the current billing period. Cursor says it will not charge another renewal after cancellation, and the account returns to the free Hobby plan when the paid period ends. Cursor’s cancellation instructions
Cancellation does not delete your Cursor account or local project files. Cursor’s cancellation instructions It stops a future renewal through the applicable billing provider. It does not automatically refund a payment that has already been processed. Cursor’s refund policy
Steps to solve it
Cancel before the next renewal date if you want to avoid another billing-period charge. Cursor says paid plans renew automatically at the end of each billing period unless you cancel before renewal. Cursor’s refund policy
Before starting, identify where you purchased the plan. Use the Cursor dashboard for a plan billed through cursor.com. Use Apple’s subscription controls for an iOS in-app purchase. Use Google Play’s subscription controls for a purchase made in the Grok Bot Android app. Cursor cannot cancel Apple- or Google Play-managed in-app subscriptions from its own billing dashboard.

Follow these steps for a subscription managed through Cursor:
- 1
Open the Cursor billing dashboard.
Go to the billing area at
cursor.com/dashboard/billingwhile signed in to Cursor. This is Cursor’s documented starting point for managing a Cursor-billed subscription. Cursor’s cancellation instructions - 2
Select “Manage in Stripe.”
This opens the Stripe billing portal used for subscription management. Cursor’s cancellation instructions
- 3
Choose “Cancel Subscription.”
Select the cancellation option in the Stripe portal, then confirm the request. Cursor documents both selecting the cancellation option and confirming it. Cursor’s cancellation instructions
- 4
Keep using the plan through the current period.
A successful cancellation does not end paid access immediately. Your paid features remain available until the current billing period closes. Cursor’s cancellation instructions
- 5
Retain available confirmation details.
Keep any confirmation information shown during the process for your records. Also check that the subscription is not scheduled for another renewal. This can be useful if you later need to discuss a billing issue with the relevant provider.
Do not use the Cursor Stripe route for every purchase type. For a subscription billed through cursor.com, use Manage in Stripe and confirm cancellation there. For an iOS in-app subscription, manage it with Apple. For a Grok Bot Android in-app subscription, manage it with Google Play. Cursor’s cancellation instructions
Troubleshooting cancellation problems
The Cancel Subscription option is missing. Cursor lists several reasons the cancellation control may be unavailable. The plan may have already lapsed and reverted to Hobby, there may be an unpaid invoice, you may be on a Teams plan without team-admin access, or the subscription may have been purchased through the iOS app or Grok Bot Android app. Cursor’s cancellation instructions
If none of those conditions applies, contact Cursor support and include a screenshot of the billing page. A clear screenshot can help show what billing controls or messages are available on the account. Cursor’s cancellation instructions
The dashboard shows an unpaid invoice. Go to the Cursor billing dashboard and check for unpaid invoices. Complete the payment or retry the subscription change through Manage in Stripe. If the problem continues, contact support with the workspace name and a screenshot of the billing page. Cursor’s cancellation instructions
You are a member of a Teams plan. Team admins can cancel through the same billing page. Team members do not see billing options, so they should ask a team admin to make the plan change. Cursor’s cancellation instructions This distinction matters because the absence of billing controls may reflect your team role rather than a failed subscription setup.
You canceled but still have paid features. This is expected for a confirmed cancellation. Cursor keeps paid-plan access active until the current billing period ends. Cursor’s cancellation instructions Use that remaining time to finish work that depends on paid features and to prepare for the Hobby plan.
You want to protect your work before the paid period ends. Cursor says cancellation does not remove your account or local project files. Cursor’s cancellation instructions Still, review access to shared repositories, team-managed resources, and any workflow that depends on paid-plan features. A cancellation can affect future plan access even though it does not delete local files.
You want to request a refund. Canceling stops a future renewal, but it does not itself create a refund. For an active subscription with usage during the current billing period, Cursor does not issue a prorated refund when you downgrade. Cursor’s refund policy Review the refund rules promptly if the payment was recent, because eligibility depends on plan type, payment timing, and usage.
Keep track of what you want to cancel.
Review your subscriptions in Subpilot and request cancellation help where supported. Some providers require you to act directly; submitting a request does not confirm cancellation.
