Export first, pause second, cancel last.

Quick answerTo cancel ManyChat, open Settings, then Billing, and cancel the Pro subscription. Before you do, export your contacts to CSV and note every live Instagram automation, because free accounts lose Pro features and your list is capped at 1,000 contacts.

Before you cancel

  1. Export contacts. Download your audience as CSV so emails and phone numbers are safe.
  2. List your automations. Note each post, keyword and message you want to keep running.
  3. Set up the replacement. If you move to another tool, rebuild automations there, but keep them off.

Cancel the subscription

  1. Log in to ManyChat and open Settings.
  2. Open Billing and choose to cancel your Pro plan.
  3. Confirm. Your account moves to the free plan at the end of the billing period.

ManyChat changes its menus from time to time. If a step does not match, search its help centre for "cancel subscription".

Switch without double DMs

Pause the ManyChat automations first, then switch the new ones on. Two tools on one post means two DMs per comment. The full playbook is in FameChamp vs ManyChat.
