How do I cancel a Cal.com free trial before I'm charged?

Cal.com offers a 14-day free trial on Teams and Organizations plans. Per the terms, *"On the last day of Free Trial period, unless you cancelled your Subscription, you will be automatically charged."* Cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends from Settings → Billing. Setting a phone reminder for day 12 is the safest play, Cal.com sends no reliable last-day warning.

Will I lose my booking links and event types if I cancel?

No, your account and personal booking links remain on the free Individuals tier. You'll lose paid-only features like round-robin scheduling, routing forms, removing Cal.com branding, booking analytics and managed collective event types. Existing event types stay but any team-only configurations are disabled. Export your bookings via the dashboard before downgrading if you want a local copy of past meetings.

Can I cancel a Cal.com team subscription as a regular member?

No. Only the **team owner or admin** has access to billing for a Cal.com team or organization plan. If you're a member, ask the owner to cancel, or request that ownership be transferred to whoever is paying. If the original owner has left the company, email support@cal.com with proof of ownership (domain control, payment receipts) and ask them to reassign billing.

What's the difference between Cal.com and Calendly when cancelling?

Cancelling Cal.com is generally cleaner than Calendly because Cal.com still has a fully-featured **free tier** to fall back on, you can cancel paid and keep your booking page live. Calendly forces you onto a stripped-down free plan with one event type. Either way, both deny prorated refunds on annual plans, so time your cancellation just before the renewal date rather than mid-cycle.

Can I downgrade instead of cancelling Cal.com?

Yes, and for most solo users this is the better move. Go to Settings → Billing and choose the free Individuals plan. You keep your username, booking links, calendar connections and unlimited event types. You lose team features, custom branding removal, routing forms and advanced analytics. Downgrades take effect at the next billing cycle, so you still get what you've already paid for until then.

What if Cal.com keeps charging me after I cancelled?

First, confirm in Settings → Billing that the status is *Cancelled* and screenshot it. Email support@cal.com with the screenshot, the charge date and the last four digits of the card. If they don't refund within 7 days, dispute the charge with your card issuer as 'services not as described', UK cardholders on credit cards can also invoke Section 75. Cal.com pays via Stripe, so chargebacks land quickly.

How do I cancel a Cal.com Premium Username?

Premium usernames are billed as a separate $29/month subscription on top of any plan. To cancel, open Settings → Billing, find the Premium Username line item, and cancel it independently of any team subscription. Once cancelled, the reserved username returns to the pool at the end of the billing cycle and you'll need to pick a standard free username for your booking page.

Why am I still being charged after cancelling Cal.com?

Usually one of three things: the cancellation never completed (no written confirmation), the subscription bills through Apple or Google and must be cancelled there, or a minimum term is still running. Charges continuing after a confirmed cancellation can be disputed with your bank as a chargeback.

How do I delete my Cal.com account?

Cancel the subscription first, then request account deletion in settings or by email. If there is no self-serve option, email a written erasure request citing the applicable data-protection law; most companies complete erasure within about 30 days.

Cal.com’s refund policy

Cal.com's terms state that paid subscription fees are non-refundable except where local consumer law requires otherwise. When you cancel, your paid plan stays active until the end of the current billing cycle, there's no proration for unused days. UK and EU consumers may still have a 14-day statutory withdrawal right on a fresh purchase, and US users charged after a missed trial cancel can argue under FTC/state click-to-cancel rules.

“Except when required by law, paid Subscription fees are non-refundable.”

Does Cal.com charge a cancellation fee?

Cal.com’s terms mention conditions worth checking before you cancel, see the plan notes and policy quote above for the specifics we found. In general: rolling monthly plans end at the period you’ve already paid for with nothing extra to pay, while minimum-term or contract plans can carry an early-exit charge until the term ends.

What doesn’t work for cancelling Cal.com

Based on 6 sources, Reddit, app reviews, and direct testing. Skip these and save yourself the loop.

✕ Cancelling a team plan from a member account, Only the team owner or admin has billing access; non-admins must contact the owner or have ownership transferred first.
✕ Requesting a prorated refund for the unused portion of a monthly/annual plan, Cal.com does not refund partial billing periods on cloud plans; paid features simply remain active until cycle end.
✕ Deleting the Cal.com app from your phone to stop billing, Web/Stripe subscriptions keep renewing regardless of the mobile app; you must cancel in Settings → Billing.
✕ Letting a free trial expire without cancelling, On the last day of the free trial you are automatically charged for the plan you selected.

Cancelled Cal.com but still being charged?

Three common reasons, in order of likelihood:

The cancellation didn’t actually complete. If you never received a written confirmation from Cal.com, treat it as not cancelled. Email support@cal.com referencing your original request date and ask for written confirmation plus a refund of any charge taken since.
You cancelled in the wrong place. Subscriptions started through the App Store or Google Play bill through Apple or Google, cancelling on Cal.com’s site doesn’t touch them. Check Settings → Subscriptions on iPhone, or Play Store → Payments & subscriptions on Android.
You're inside a minimum term. Some Cal.com plans keep charging until a fixed term ends even after you cancel, check the plan notes above.

If they keep charging after a confirmed cancellation, that’s chargeback territory: dispute the charge with your bank citing “subscription cancelled, merchant continued billing”. The yoink app also flags this automatically, it keeps watching your inbox after a confirmed cancellation and alerts you if Cal.com charges again.

How Cal.com will try to keep you

Cal.com may respond with a retention offer, a discount, a free month, or a downgrade to a cheaper tier. Don't engage with the counteroffer. Restate that you want a full cancellation and cite the consumer law again if they push back.

They’ll say: “In-app 'Downgrade instead of cancel?' prompt offering to switch to the free Individuals tier”
You say: Thanks, I want a full cancellation of the paid Teams/Organizations subscription, not a downgrade. Please confirm the cancellation in writing.
They’ll say: “Loss-of-features warning (round-robin, routing forms, branding removal, analytics)”
You say: I understand I'll lose paid features and I accept that. Please proceed with cancellation effective at the end of the current billing cycle.
They’ll say: “Pointing users to 'pause' or plan-switch screens rather than a clear cancel button”
You say: I'm not looking to pause or switch, please cancel the subscription outright. If the UI doesn't allow it, treat this email to support@cal.com as my written cancellation notice.
They’ll say: “Citing the 'non-refundable' clause to deny refunds on a renewal you didn't intend”
You say: Under UK Consumer Contracts Regulations / EU Consumer Rights Directive I am within my 14-day withdrawal period for a digital subscription I have not actively used since renewal. Please refund the latest charge and confirm cancellation.

FTC Click-to-Cancel Rule (2024+)
Cancel must be as easy as sign-up.
The Federal Trade Commission’s Click-to-Cancel rule requires Cal.com to make cancelling at least as simple as signing up, same channel, same number of clicks. If they buried the cancel button or forced a phone call, they’re in violation; report to reportfraud.ftc.gov.
California ARL (auto-renewal law)
Renewal must be cancellable online.
California Business & Professions Code §17602 forces any company billing California residents on auto-renewal to provide an online cancel mechanism. Lawsuits have been won on this; companies often refund quickly when it’s cited.

Delete your Cal.com account (not just cancel)

Cancelling stops the billing; deleting removes your account and personal data. Do them in that order, deleting an account with an active subscription can leave the billing running with no way to log in and stop it.

If there’s no delete option in Cal.com’s account settings, email support@cal.com with the subject Account deletion request, [your account email] and ask for your account and personal data to be erased under state privacy laws such as the CCPA. They’re typically required to act on it, most companies complete erasure within about 30 days, and you should ask for written confirmation when it’s done.
