## Key takeaways

- As of October 28, 2026, The X Subscription plans are cancelled at grok.com/dashboard/billing and legacy Cursor plans through Stripe at cursor.com/dashboard/billing.
- After cancelling you keep paid features until the billing period ends, then the account reverts to Free (Hobby on legacy accounts).
- Cancelling does not refund charges already processed; individual plans may get a refund on the latest payment made within 14 days if the plan was unused.

To cancel a Cursor subscription, open the billing page, find your plan's cancel control and confirm. Which page you use depends on the plan. According to [Cursor's help center](https://cursor.com/help/account-and-billing/cancel), as of October 28, 2026, plans in The X Subscription are cancelled at grok.com/dashboard/billing, and legacy Cursor plans are cancelled through Stripe from cursor.com/dashboard/billing. You keep your paid features until the current billing period ends.

This guide covers both routes, what happens to your access and your money, how teams differ, and what to check when the cancel button is missing. Everything here comes from Cursor's help center pages, read on October 28, 2026. Plans and prices change, so check the pages linked below before you act.

## Before you start: which plan are you on?

Cursor's [pricing page](https://cursor.com/help/account-and-billing/pricing) says Cursor is now part of The X Subscription, which bundles Grok, Cursor and X. New customers choose a plan there. The older Cursor plans are called legacy plans. New customers can't buy them, but existing subscribers keep them until they switch or cancel.

| Plan type | Plans | Where you cancel |
| --- | --- | --- |
| The X Subscription | Free, Plus, Premium, Super, Ultra, Teams | grok.com/dashboard/billing |
| Legacy Cursor plan | Hobby, Start, Pro, Pro+, Ultra, Teams Standard, Teams Premium | cursor.com/dashboard/billing, then Stripe |
| iOS app subscription | Billed through Apple | iPhone or iPad Settings |
| Grok Bot Android app subscription | Billed through Google Play | Google Play |

## How to cancel a plan billed on grok.com

1. Go to grok.com/dashboard/billing.
2. Open the options on the Current plan card and choose to cancel.
3. Follow the prompts to confirm.

## How to cancel a legacy Cursor plan

1. Go to cursor.com/dashboard/billing.
2. Click Manage in Stripe to open the Stripe billing portal.
3. Click Cancel Subscription and confirm.

On an individual plan you can also schedule a downgrade instead of cancelling. The help center sends you to the pricing page for how to change plans on a legacy plan.

## What happens to your access after you cancel

The help center says you keep your paid features until the current billing period ends, and that you aren't charged again. After that, your account reverts to the Free plan, or to Hobby on a legacy account. Your account and your local project files are not deleted.

You can resubscribe at any time by choosing a new plan from your dashboard. Your account and settings are preserved.

## Refunds: what Cursor says

Cursor's [refunds page](https://cursor.com/help/account-and-billing/refunds) says paid plans renew automatically unless you cancel before the renewal date. Cancelling stops future charges, but it does not refund charges that were already processed.

- **Individual plans:** you may qualify for a refund of your most recent payment if it was made within the last 14 days and you haven't used the subscription during that billing period. Support reviews each request. Approved refunds go back to the original payment method within 5 to 10 business days.
- **Mid-cycle downgrades:** no prorated refund if you've used the plan during the current period. You can cancel, or schedule a downgrade for the next renewal.
- **Upgrades:** you may get a prorated credit for unused included usage.
- **Teams:** billing adjustments may appear as a credit on a future invoice.
- **On-demand and top-up charges:** usage you've already consumed is not refundable.
- **App store purchases:** Apple and Google Play handle refunds for in-app subscriptions.

To ask for a refund, contact support while signed in to your Cursor account. Include your account email, the charge amount and date, any invoice ID or receipt, and a short description of the problem. The page asks you to contact support before filing a chargeback, because disputes can cause delays and may affect your account.

### Switching to the new bundle instead of cancelling

If you are on a legacy plan, switching to The X Subscription cancels the Cursor, SuperGrok and paid X Premium subscriptions you select, and refunds unused time. The pricing page says the switch is permanent. Any on-demand usage not yet invoiced is billed in one final invoice, and the switch waits until that invoice is paid. A Cursor subscription billed through the Apple App Store is the exception: you must cancel it yourself in iPhone or iPad Settings.

## Teams and Enterprise

Only team admins can cancel or change a Teams or Enterprise plan. If you are a member without admin access, you won't see a cancel option.

Cursor's [team management page](https://cursor.com/help/account-and-billing/teams-management) adds a few billing details for teams:

- Admins remove a member from the team dashboard by clicking Remove next to the person's name.
- If that member used the product during the current cycle, their seat stays billable until the billing period ends.
- Members can't leave a team on their own. They have to ask an admin to remove them.
- Joining a team on The X Subscription does not cancel a personal plan. The member must cancel it separately. Joining a legacy Cursor team cancels the person's existing individual legacy plan automatically.
- If the admin has left, check whether another admin can help. If none can, contact Cursor support to recover admin access.

## What to check if you don't see a cancel option

The help center lists these reasons:

- Your plan already lapsed. A Free or Hobby account has no active subscription, so no subscription controls appear.
- You have an unpaid invoice. Billing has to be resolved before subscription changes.
- You're on a Teams plan without admin access.
- You subscribed through the iOS app. Apple manages that subscription, and Cursor can't cancel it for you.
- You subscribed through the Grok Bot Android app. Google Play manages that subscription.

If none of these applies, contact support at cursor.com/help with a screenshot of your billing page.

For a payment that failed, the [payment issues page](https://cursor.com/help/account-and-billing/payment-issues) suggests retrying from cursor.com/dashboard/billing, checking your card details in Manage in Stripe, trying a different card, contacting your bank, or updating your default card in the Stripe portal and retrying.

## What the help center doesn't say

The cancel page shows no last-updated date, and none of the pages say when the move to The X Subscription took effect. The help center doesn't give a step-by-step for scheduling a downgrade. If your billing page looks different from the steps above, trust what you see on screen and ask Cursor support.

## Frequently asked questions

### Does Cursor refund me when I cancel?

Cancelling stops future charges but does not refund charges already processed. Individual plans may qualify for a refund of the latest payment if it was made within the last 14 days and the subscription wasn't used in that period. Support reviews each request.

### Do I lose access to Cursor right after I cancel?

No. Cursor's help center says you keep paid features until the current billing period ends. After that the account reverts to the Free plan, or Hobby on legacy accounts, and your account and local project files are not deleted.

### Why can't I find the cancel button in Cursor?

The help center lists these causes: the plan already lapsed, an unpaid invoice, a Teams plan without admin access, or a subscription bought through the iOS app or the Grok Bot Android app. If none applies, contact support with a screenshot of your billing page.

### Who can cancel a Cursor Teams plan?

Only team admins can cancel or change a Teams or Enterprise plan. Members can't leave a team on their own and must ask an admin to remove them.
