How to Cancel Later in 2026 (The Social Media Scheduler You Don't Need)

Updated February 2026 • 4 min read

Later charges $25/month for Starter, $45/month for Growth, or $80/month for Advanced. Originally built for Instagram scheduling back when Instagram didn't have native scheduling, Later now competes with free tools built into every platform. Here's how to cancel.

How to Cancel Later (2 Minutes)

  1. Log into later.com
  2. Click your profile → Settings
  3. Go to Plan & Billing
  4. Click "Cancel Plan"
  5. Complete the exit survey (required, 2-3 screens)
  6. Confirm — access continues until end of billing period

⚠️ Later doesn't offer refunds for annual plans. If you're on annual billing, you'll keep access until the year ends but get no money back.

Why Later Made Sense in 2018 (But Not 2026)

Later launched when Instagram had no native scheduling. You literally needed a third-party tool. Now:

Every platform Later supports now has free native scheduling. The only advantage Later offers is cross-platform posting from one dashboard — which matters for agencies but not most users.

Free Alternatives

Later's "Link in Bio" — The Real Lock-In

Later's "Linkin.bio" is their stickiest feature — a landing page that turns your Instagram grid into clickable links. Before canceling, set up a free alternative: Linktree (free), Beacons.ai (free), or a simple Carrd site ($9/year). Update your Instagram bio link, then cancel Later.

Bottom line: Later solved a real problem that no longer exists. Native platform scheduling is free and built into every social network. Unless you're managing 6+ channels professionally, cancel and save $300-960/year.
