How to Cancel Notion Plus or Business (Without Losing Your Pages)

Updated 2026-05-03 · 2 min read

Cancel a Notion Plus or Business plan. What workspace owners need to know, what happens to team members when the plan ends, and how to confirm it worked.

Quick answer

Open Notion, click Settings in the sidebar, go to Subscription, and click Cancel plan. For team workspaces, only the workspace owner can do this. All pages and content survive on the free tier. No partial refunds.

Overview

The catch with Notion is where to cancel. Subscriptions are managed at the workspace level, not your personal profile. That means the workspace owner has to initiate the cancel, and once the paid period ends, every member in that workspace drops to the free tier limits. Pages and content stay completely intact through all of that.

TL;DR

  • Cancel from Settings > Subscription inside the Notion workspace
  • Only the workspace owner can cancel a team or business plan
  • All members drop to the Free tier when the plan expires
  • Pages, databases, and content all remain on Free
  • File upload limit drops to 5 MB per file on the free tier
  • Cancel the Notion AI add-on separately from the same Subscription page

How to cancel Notion

Cancel from workspace settings

Best for: Personal Plus accounts and Business workspace owners

Estimated time: ~2 min

  1. Open Notion and click Settings at the bottom of the left sidebar. A settings panel opens.
  2. Click Subscription in the left column of the settings panel. Your current plan and next billing date appear.

  4. Follow the cancellation prompts and confirm. You'll see a confirmation with the date your current plan ends.

Frequently asked questions

Will Notion delete my pages if I cancel?

No. All pages, databases, and content stay in your workspace when you move to the free tier. Nothing is deleted.

Can a team member cancel a Notion Business workspace?

No. Only the workspace owner can cancel. Members can leave the workspace, but that doesn't affect billing for anyone else.

Does canceling Notion also cancel the AI add-on?

Not automatically. The Notion AI add-on is billed separately. Cancel it from Settings > Subscription before or after canceling your main plan.

What guest limit applies on the Notion free plan?

The free plan allows up to 10 guests per workspace. Existing guests above that number won't be immediately removed, but you won't be able to add new ones until you're back under 10.

Is there a pause option for Notion?

No. Notion doesn't offer a subscription pause. You can cancel and re-subscribe at any time, and your content will be exactly where you left it.
