What happens when you cancel

Access after cancellation

When you cancel a paid subscription it generally remains active until the end of the current billing period.

For unpaid or free trials, cancellation may take effect within 3 business days.

Account data and renewal

Your account data (projects, reports, settings) typically remains associated with the account but access is limited after the subscription ends.

Semrush will not renew billing after cancellation; keep confirmation emails as proof the renewal was stopped.

Your consumer rights in New Zealand

Relevant laws

New Zealand consumers are protected by the Consumer Guarantees Act and the Fair Trading Act.

These laws require fair and transparent contract terms and protect against misleading conduct.

How these laws affect Semrush subscriptions

• Opaque cancellation flows, hidden billing triggers or refusal to refund may be considered unfair or misleading under NZ law.
• Consumers can dispute unauthorised or misleading charges with their bank or card issuer.
• Where conduct may breach the Fair Trading Act, the Commerce Commission can be contacted for advice or action.

Customer experiences

Positive feedback

Many users praise Semrush for its comprehensive SEO features like keyword research, backlink audits and competitor analysis.

Reviewers often highlight its depth of data and suite of marketing tools for SEO and content planning.

Negative feedback

• Users report confusing, multi-step cancellation flows that sometimes fail, causing unwanted charges.
• Complaints include being charged after attempting cancellation and difficulty obtaining refunds from support.
• Some users describe surprise trial countdowns, hidden fees and problems removing stored payment methods.

Documentation checklist

What to collect before you cancel

• Account email address and Semrush subscription or invoice number.
• Recent billing statements or screenshots showing the charge and billing date.
• Subscription plan name, purchase date and payment method details.

Proof to keep after cancelling

• Saved copies of your cancellation request or support emails and any confirmation message.
• Timestamped screenshots of the account billing page and the cancellation form submission.
• Correspondence with Semrush ([email protected] or [email protected]) showing your request.

Common mistakes

Assuming cancellation is automatic

Some users assume unsubscribing from marketing emails cancels billing; it does not affect your paid subscription.

Always cancel via the Semrush account form or by sending the required email and keep written confirmation.

Not keeping proof or missing deadlines

Failing to save confirmation or not submitting refund requests within 7 days for eligible annual purchases can forfeit refund rights.

Also avoid waiting until after renewal; act before the billing date and get written confirmation of cancellation.
