Quick answer

Cancel in Settings > Account & Billing; the account stays active until the paid period ends, then drops to the free plan. Refunds are only available within 30 days of your first payment.

Most likely fix: Cancel the paid plan

How to fix it

Try these in order — the most common fix is first.

  1. 1. Cancel the paid plan

    1. Log in at kit.com and open Settings > Account & Billing
    2. Choose to cancel your subscription and confirm
    3. Your account stays active until the last day of the billing period you already paid for, then moves to the free plan

  2. 2. Downgrade Pro to Creator instead

    1. Open Settings > Account & Billing and click Downgrade
    2. The change happens at the end of the billing period and you keep Pro features until then
    3. Downgrades are not prorated or refunded; use Keep my Pro plan to undo a scheduled downgrade

  3. 3. Drop to a lower subscriber tier

    1. If your subscriber count fell, click Switch to a lower tier under Account & Billing
    2. The lower price starts on the next billing date
    3. If the option is missing, email help@kit.com after deleting unneeded subscribers

  4. 4. Request a refund

    1. Kit's billing article says new customers can request a full refund within 30 days of their first payment
    2. Annual plans follow the same rule
    3. Contact help@kit.com or the in-app messenger; payments after the first 30 days are not refunded
    Did this fix it?
  5. 5. Switch annual to monthly

    1. Contact support through the in-app messenger
    2. The switch happens at the end of the annual cycle, not immediately

Symptoms

You want to stop paying, downgrade, or get money back, and can't find the cancel button or don't know what happens to your list.

Why it happens

  • Cancel and downgrade live in the same Account & Billing screen, so it is easy to pick the wrong one
  • Annual plans are not prorated or refunded after 30 days
  • Billing is based on subscriber count, so a high bill is often a list-size issue, not a plan issue
