How to Cancel Monday.com Subscription in 2026
Monday.com charges $9-19 per seat per month — and requires a minimum of 3 seats on most plans. That's $27-57/month minimum, even if you're a solo user. Annual plans are non-refundable.
Cancel Monday.com (Admin Only)
- Log in to monday.com as an admin
- Click your profile picture (bottom left)
- Select "Administration"
- Go to "Billing" section
- Click "Cancel plan" or "Downgrade to free"
- Follow the prompts (they'll try to offer discounts)
Downgrade to Free Instead of Canceling
Recommended: Downgrade to the free Individual plan instead of fully canceling. You get:
- Up to 2 seats
- Up to 3 boards
- Unlimited docs
- 200+ templates
- Your existing data stays (read-only for boards beyond the 3 limit)
Annual Plan Refund Policy
Annual plans are non-refundable. Monday.com explicitly states this in their terms. However:
- You can request a refund within 30 days of initial purchase (they may honor this)
- Contact support at support@monday.com and be polite but firm
- If they refuse, file a chargeback with your credit card company (describe it as "service not as described")
- Monthly plans simply stop at the end of the current billing period
The Seat Minimum Trap
Monday.com requires a minimum of 3 seats on Basic, Standard, and Pro plans. Even if you're a solo user, you pay for 3 seats. This means:
- Basic: $27/mo minimum (3 × $9)
- Standard: $36/mo minimum (3 × $12)
- Pro: $57/mo minimum (3 × $19)
Annual billing saves ~18%, but you're locked in for 12 months.
