Quick answer

Cancel in Account settings > Plan and billing > Cancel subscription. You keep the paid plan until the period ends, then drop to Free. Refunds are very limited, so cancel before renewal.

Most likely fix: Cancel the subscription

How to fix it

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

  1. 1. Cancel the subscription

    1. Log in to MailerLite
    2. Go to Account settings > Plan and billing
    3. Click Cancel subscription and confirm
    4. The account moves to Free when the billing cycle ends and no further charge is made

  2. 2. Prepare for the Free plan

    1. Disconnect custom domains from landing pages and websites first; sites move to the default MailerLite URL
    2. Reduce active subscribers to 250 or fewer, or sending is restricted
    3. Free allows 3 automations and 3 forms, and extra users are removed
    4. Subscribers, campaigns and reports stay in the account

  3. 3. Refunds

    1. MailerLite only has to refund if it ends your service without cause before the end of a paid year
    2. No refunds for unused plan time, forgetting to cancel, canceling after renewal or buying the wrong plan
    3. Discretionary refunds must be requested within 30 days of the last transaction
    4. Personal-use customers can request a refund within 14 days of accepting the terms
    5. No refund if you are suspended for violating the Anti-Spam Policy

  4. 4. Downgrade instead

    1. Downgrades take effect at the end of the billing cycle
    2. Annual to monthly counts as a downgrade and loses the annual discount
    3. Contact Support through your account if billing looks wrong
