Cancel ActiveCampaign: Easy Method

What is ActiveCampaign

Overview

ActiveCampaign is a cloud-based email marketing, automation, and CRM platform used to run campaigns, manage contacts, and build automated workflows.

It is commonly used by small and medium businesses worldwide to combine email, automation and simple CRM features into one service.

Main uses

Typical uses include email campaigns, engagement tagging, behavioural automations and lead management.

ActiveCampaign also provides onboarding and support resources to help customers set up automations and integrations.

How to cancel ActiveCampaign

Cancel via the web (Primary Admin)

• Log in as the Primary Admin to your ActiveCampaign account.
• Go to Billing & Upgrade in your account settings.
• Choose "Cancel my account," follow the on-screen prompts, and confirm cancellation.
• Cancellation will take effect at the end of your current billing period.
• Reference: How do I cancel my account?.

Special cases and alternate routes

• Commit Annually, Pay Monthly plans: cancellation requests take effect only at the end of the prepaid annual term.
• Trial accounts: simply allow the trial to expire to avoid charges.
• Resold accounts: if your account was purchased through a service provider or reseller, contact that provider to cancel; ActiveCampaign will not cancel resold accounts directly.
• Mobile billing (App Store / Google Play): if billed via a mobile store, contact ActiveCampaign Customer Experience for guidance and use the store refund/cancellation channels where applicable.

What happens when you cancel

Access after cancellation

After you confirm cancellation, your account normally remains active until the end of the current billing period or prepaid term.

You can continue to access data and features until that expiry date unless otherwise communicated by support.

Renewal and billing

Auto-renewal stops after cancellation takes effect; you will not be billed for the next cycle after the effective date.

If you are on an annual prepaid commitment, billing continues until the end of that prepaid term.

Data retention

Your stored contacts, automations, and campaign data typically remain available until the account is closed at the end of the billing period.

It is advisable to export important data and backups before the end date if you plan to leave permanently.

Will I get a refund?

Official refund policy

ActiveCampaign's official Refund Policy states they do not provide partial or full refunds under any circumstances.

Reference: Refund Policy.

Exceptions and practical notes

• Third-party summaries note refunds are not offered once billing has begun. Users are advised to use the free trial before subscribing.
• If you believe you were billed in error, document the charge and contact support promptly; include receipts and timestamps for review.
• For App Store or Google Play billing, Apple or Google refund channels may apply independently of ActiveCampaign's policy.

Key protections

Under the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Act 2018 (FCCPA), consumers have rights to fair treatment and transparency in subscription services.

You are entitled to clear billing information and the ability to contest unfair contract terms and billing practices.

How to escalate locally

• If you believe a subscription term is unfair or you were billed incorrectly, you may file a complaint with the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC).
• Maintain documentation: receipts, screenshots, emails, and support ticket numbers for any complaint you lodge.

Mobile-store billing routes

If charges occurred via Apple or Google billing, you can use Apple/Google refund and cancellation mechanisms in parallel with local complaints.

These app-store channels may offer remedies even when the vendor’s policy refuses refunds.

Customer experiences

Positive feedback

• Users praise ActiveCampaign for strong automation capabilities and flexible workflows.
• Many cite good onboarding support and value for the platform's feature set.

Negative feedback

• There are recurring complaints about difficulty cancelling accounts - reports of broken interfaces or slow/no support responses.
• Users also cite pricing increases, interface performance issues, billing errors, and refusal of refunds as pain points.

Summary

Overall, ActiveCampaign is often recommended for automation and feature depth, while some customers report frustration with cancellation, billing and UI performance.

Weighing strengths and reported issues helps set expectations before subscribing, especially if you require flexible refund or cancellation terms.

Documentation checklist

Essential items to collect

• Account owner email and username.
• Invoice(s) and billing receipts showing charges and dates.
• Screenshots of the Billing & Upgrade page and any cancellation attempts.
• Trial expiry date or upgrade confirmation if applicable.

Supporting evidence for disputes

• Support ticket numbers, chat transcripts, and email correspondence with ActiveCampaign or reseller.
• If purchased via a reseller, provider contact details and proof of purchase from that provider.
• Payment processor records (credit card, PayPal, bank) showing transaction IDs.

Common mistakes

Not being the Primary Admin

Attempting to cancel without Primary Admin access is a frequent problem. Only the Primary Admin can use the in-app cancellation flow.

If you lack admin access, request it from your organization or have the Primary Admin perform the cancellation.

Misunderstanding prepaid commitments and refunds

Many users expect immediate refunds or pro-rated refunds when cancelling an annual commitment; ActiveCampaign states cancellation only takes effect at the end of the prepaid term and refunds are not given.

Assume that an annual prepayment remains billed until term end and plan accordingly.

Relying only on app-store actions

Some customers assume cancelling the app removes the subscription; if billing was direct or via reseller, app deletion may not stop charges.

Verify billing origin (direct, reseller, Apple, Google) and follow the correct cancellation path.
