How do I cancel Buffer?

  1. 1Click your profile avatar in the bottom left of your dashboard and select Billing.
  2. 2Click the three vertical dots, then select Cancel Plan.
  3. 3Review the channels that will lock, then select a reason in the short survey.
  4. 4Review your Buffer activity summary and click the final confirmation button.

Billed through an app store or partner?

If you subscribed in the Buffer mobile app, cancel in your App Store or Google Play subscription settings. Request App Store refunds from Apple. For Android, Buffer support can refund your most recent payment, and older charges may need a refund request through Google Play.

What happens after I cancel?

  • Your plan stays active until the end of the current billing period, and after that you keep access to the Free plan.
  • If you have more than three channels connected, you choose which ones stay active on the Free plan. The rest are locked but stay connected to your account.
  • Until the billing period ends, you can click Keep My Plan on the Billing page to reinstate the plan with your channels, settings and scheduled posts.
