Use this Trello check to choose between an official account action and help preparing a clearer follow-up.

  1. Confirm the billing owner before canceling

    • To cancel a paid Trello Standard or Premium Workspace, you must use Trello on the web as a Workspace admin. Open the correct Workspace, go to its Billing page, then either use the Cancel option (legacy billing) or Change plan and choose the Free plan (centralized billing). The Workspace subscription stops renewing and automatically downgrades to the free plan at the end of the current billing period; paid features continue only until that date.
    • Trello bills Standard and Premium plans at the Workspace level, not per personal account. Only Workspace administrators can change or cancel a Standard or Premium Workspace plan from the Billing page in the web app. With centralized billing, Workspace admin and billing admin are separate roles, so some organizations may also require an Atlassian billing administrator to manage payments. Deleting your Atlassian/Trello account or deleting a multi‑member Workspace does not by itself cancel an active Workspace subscription; the paid plan must be cancelled first.
    • Trello’s billing guide mentions a limited refund right for recent Workspace upgrades. Refunds are not described as automatic and are tied to a short window after the upgrade date, with more specific terms provided in Atlassian’s separate refunds information.
  2. Keep enough proof for a focused follow-up

    • Save the confirmation, effective date, and billing receipt.
    • Capture the plan, renewal date, and company shown on the receipt.
    • Challenge only a specific unresolved charge or cancellation result.

Trello support channels

Know which channel fits before you spend time repeating the same story.

  • Web

    Use this path when your Trello Standard or Premium Workspace is billed directly through Trello or Atlassian’s centralized billing. All subscription changes and cancellations must be done from a supported web browser; Trello’s desktop and mobile apps do not currently support subscription management.

How Pine helps with Trello

A practical workflow for moving from a messy support problem to a clear request.

  1. Step 01

    Open the Workspace

    In a supported desktop browser, go to trello.com and sign in. Click the Trello logo to open your home page, then use the left sidebar to select the specific Workspace whose paid plan you want to cancel. Remember that each Workspace has its own subscription, and only that Workspace’s admin will later see Billing and cancellation controls.

  2. Step 02

    Open Billing

    With the Workspace selected, look in the left sidebar (or Workspace menu) and choose Settings if needed, then select Billing. This opens the Workspace’s billing page, where admins can view payments and manage the subscription. The billing page is only available via the web interface and only when the Workspace has payment information on file.

  3. Step 03

    Use the cancellation link

    Scroll to the bottom of the Billing page. If your Workspace uses Trello’s legacy billing, you’ll see a Cancel option; select it to start cancellation. If your Workspace uses centralized billing, you’ll see a Change plan button instead—select Change plan, review the plan options, and choose the Free plan to schedule a downgrade. Both flows are accessed from the same Billing area.

  4. Step 04

    Review the free-plan downgrade and confirm

    After you choose Cancel or the Free plan, Trello schedules your Workspace to downgrade at the end of the current billing period; until then, your paid Standard or Premium features remain available. When the downgrade happens, only the 10 most active boards stay open while other boards are closed (not deleted), collaborators may be limited on free boards, and data from paid features is hidden but not removed. Export or move any boards and data you need before the downgrade date, then verify on the Billing page that the Workspace is set to move to the free plan.

Trello FAQs

Short answers for the questions people usually ask before starting.

You can cancel a Trello Standard or Premium Workspace at any time, but the change takes effect at the end of the current billing period. Trello’s guides state that when you cancel or switch to the Free plan, the Workspace keeps paid features until that period ends, at which point it becomes a free Workspace and stops renewing.
When a paid Workspace downgrades to free, Trello keeps the 10 most active Workspace boards open and closes the rest, but closed boards are not deleted and can be reopened or moved later. Boards in that Workspace may become view‑only until collaborators are reduced below the free‑plan limit, and data from paid features is hidden but not removed.
Deleting your Trello profile does not normally cancel a multi‑member Standard or Premium Workspace subscription. Trello explains that only if you are the sole member of a paid Workspace will deleting your account cancel that Workspace’s plan; otherwise, you must cancel from the Workspace Billing page before or instead of deleting the account or Workspace.
No, Trello’s documentation says subscription management is only supported in the web version. The change‑or‑cancel guide notes that you can change or cancel your Workspace plan from the web version of Trello and that the desktop and mobile apps do not currently support subscription management, so you should use a supported browser instead.
Trello’s billing article states that refunds are available within the first 30 days of upgrading a Workspace. It then links to Atlassian’s general refunds information for details, implying that refunds are limited to that initial period and subject to Atlassian’s broader terms. For other or older charges, you’ll generally need to contact Atlassian billing support to see if any exception applies.
If you add a payment method to a Workspace on a free trial, Trello says it will automatically convert to the paid plan at the end of the trial unless you cancel from the billing page. If no payment method is added, the Workspace downgrades to free at trial end. Trello also allows you to contact billing support to cancel a free trial early.
If you don’t see Billing or any plan controls, first confirm you’re in the correct Workspace and that you’re a Workspace admin, because only admins of Workspaces with payment info can access the billing page. If the on‑screen information mentions Atlassian centralized billing, your organization may also use a separate billing administrator, who might need to adjust the plan.
Cancelling or downgrading doesn’t immediately remove members or guests, but future billing is affected by who remains billable. Multi‑board guests and Workspace members count as billable users until renewal. Trello explains that converting multi‑board guests to single‑board guests or removing members frees seats, and once a person is only on one board in the Workspace they stop consuming a paid seat on future renewals.
