How to Cancel Zeplin in 2026

Zeplin charges $6-12 per seat/month for design-to-development handoff. In 2026, Figma's Dev Mode and native inspect tools have made standalone handoff tools largely unnecessary. Here's how to cancel.

How to Cancel

1. Go to app.zeplin.io and log in
2. Click your Organization settings
3. Navigate to Billing
4. Click Cancel Subscription or Downgrade to Free
5. Confirm cancellation

The free plan allows 1 active project. Your other projects become archived (viewable but not editable).

Why Zeplin Is Becoming Obsolete

Zeplin solved a real problem: designers used Sketch or Photoshop, and developers needed a way to inspect designs and extract CSS, colors, and assets. That workflow is disappearing:

• Figma Dev Mode: Built-in code inspection, CSS/iOS/Android code generation, component properties — directly in Figma
• Figma Variables: Design tokens that export directly to code, no handoff tool needed
• Design systems: Modern teams use Figma + Storybook + design tokens, bypassing handoff entirely
• AI code generation: Tools like v0, Bolt, and Cursor can generate UI code directly from Figma designs

Export Your Projects First

Before canceling, export what you need:

1. Open each active project
2. Download design assets (icons, images) used in development
3. Screenshot or export style guides and component documentation
4. Save any connected flow diagrams or screen maps

Free Alternatives

• Figma (free tier): Dev Mode available on free plan for inspection, built-in code generation
• Zeplin Free: 1 active project, good enough for small teams
• Storybook: For component documentation and developer reference (open source)
• Token Studio: Design token management between Figma and code (free tier)
