How to Cancel Airtable Subscription (and Get a Refund)
Quick answer
Airtable billing is per workspace: downgrade each paid workspace to Free from your account page. The downgrade takes effect at your next billing cycle, and refunds are limited to short courtesy windows.
Most likely fix: Downgrade a workspace to Free
How to fix it
Try these in order — the most common fix is first.
1. Downgrade a workspace to Free
- Go to airtable.com/account and select the workspace under Workspace settings
- Click the plan next to the workspace name and choose to downgrade (exact menu labels may change)
- Repeat for every paid workspace
- You keep paid features and limits until the next billing cycle; Free limits then apply (1,000 records per base)
