Important Considerations
Do these three things first:
- Export your data: Use the export feature to download your financial data
- Cancel an App Store subscription: A subscription bought in the App Store is cancelled in the App Store, so cancel it there first
- Save important information: Once deleted, we cannot recover your data
Subscription Cancellation
If you have an active subscription:
- A subscription bought on the web is cancelled through Stripe the moment your account is deleted, not at the end of the billing period
- A subscription bought in Google Play is cancelled the moment your account is deleted, with no refund for the time left
- A subscription bought in the App Store is cancelled in the App Store, so cancel it there first
Account Recovery
- Account deletion is permanent and irreversible
- We cannot recover deleted accounts or data
- You can create a new account with the same email address after deletion
- A new account will start fresh with no previous data
Alternative: Pause Your Account
If you're unsure about permanent deletion, consider these alternatives:
- Remove sensitive data: Delete specific accounts or transactions while keeping your account
- Sign out: Simply sign out without deleting your account
- Cancel subscription: Your account drops to Free at the end of the billing period. Everything you entered or imported stays, bank syncing stops, and you can resubscribe to Plus at any time
