You can cancel yourself, in about thirty seconds, and you don’t have to talk to anyone to do it. Open Settings, choose Plans & Billing under Account, and click Manage Billing. That opens your billing page at Stripe, where you’ll find the option to cancel your subscription. Stripe shows you exactly what will happen, and when, before you confirm. If you’d rather we did it, email support@openwhispr.com from the address on your account and we’ll cancel it for you the same day.

What happens to your stuff

Cancelling stops future payments. It doesn’t delete anything.
  • Your notes and transcriptions stay. Nothing is erased when a subscription ends. If you want your data actually removed, that’s deleting your account — a separate, deliberate action.
  • Local dictation keeps working, with no limits. On-device transcription runs on your own machine, so it doesn’t depend on a subscription at all. This is the part people are most often surprised by: you don’t lose OpenWhispr, you go back to the Free plan.
  • Your own API keys keep working. BYOK is unlimited on every plan, including Free.
  • OpenWhispr Cloud goes back to the Free allowance — 2,000 words per rolling 7 days. See Plans and limits.

​
If you’re cancelling because something’s broken

Please tell us first — support@openwhispr.com. We’d genuinely rather fix the problem than lose you over it, and a fair number of cancellations we see turn out to be a setting or a known bug with a workaround. If we can’t fix it, we’ll cancel you on the spot and you’ve lost nothing but one email.

​
Refunds

Cancelling and getting money back are two different things — cancelling stops the next payment, it doesn’t return the last one. If you want a refund as well, ask us and we’ll sort it out: see Refunds.

FAQ

No. Cancelling stops future charges. Stripe will confirm the date your paid access runs to on the cancellation screen.
Yes, and nothing is lost in the meantime. Upgrade again from Settings → Plans & Billing whenever you like.
That button only appears if you’re paying for OpenWhispr personally. If your plan comes from a team workspace, billing is managed by whoever owns it — the Plan section will name them. If you’re on a free month from a referral, there isn’t a subscription to cancel yet.
No. Your account and everything in it stays. See Deleting your account if that’s what you want.
