Semrush cancellation tips

These details can help you avoid common issues when cancelling your Semrush subscription.

Your data exports remain available
After cancellation, you can still access and export your historical data for 30 days. Download any reports you need before this period ends.
API access stops immediately
If you use Semrush's API for automated reporting, access will be cut off as soon as you cancel. Plan accordingly for any integrations.
Projects are preserved during billing period
Your tracking projects and keywords continue monitoring until your current billing period expires. You won't lose data during this time.

Before cancelling Semrush

Check these points to avoid issues with your cancellation.

1. Note your billing cycle end date

Access continues until your current billing period ends. Check your subscription page to see exactly when your plan expires after cancellation.

2. Export important data first

Download any keyword lists, competitor analysis reports, or historical data you want to keep. This becomes much harder after your subscription ends.

3. Cancel before auto-renewal

Semrush typically charges annually in advance. Cancel at least 24 hours before your renewal date to avoid being charged for another year.

Other options to consider

If cost is your main concern, you might be able to downgrade to a cheaper plan instead of cancelling completely.

Downgrade your Semrush plan

Semrush offers three main pricing tiers. If you're not using all features, switching to a lower tier can significantly reduce your monthly cost.

  • Pro: Essential SEO tools for small businesses

  • Guru: Content marketing and historical data

  • Business: Full feature set with extended limits
