Typeform is a web-based platform that enables you to design interactive forms, surveys, and quizzes using a conversational interface. Businesses and individuals use Typeform to gather customer feedback, conduct market research, capture leads, and integrate with external tools through its API. The platform prioritises user experience and streamlines form creation, which is why it has gained adoption across industries.
If you have subscribed to a paid plan and no longer require Typeform's features, you must cancel your account to halt recurring charges. Your reasons are legitimate whether you have switched to a competing tool, determined that advanced features exceed your needs, or seek to reduce subscription expenses. Yafee has guided thousands of Canadian consumers through this process with clarity, ensuring you maintain control over your billing and understand your legal protections under Canadian consumer law.
When cancellation makes business sense
Cancel Typeform if you have completed your project, migrated to a free-tier alternative, or found a tool that better aligns with your workflow requirements. You should also cancel immediately if you were charged incorrectly or if you were automatically enrolled in a trial-to-paid conversion without explicit authorisation. Yafee recommends you review your recent invoices to confirm what you were charged and when your next billing date occurs.
What costs you are currently paying
Typeform offers several paid tiers, ranging from approximately CAD $40 per month for the Basic plan to CAD $140 per month for the Business plan (converted from USD at the time of billing). Canadian customers pay the USD-listed prices converted to Canadian dollars, plus applicable sales tax: GST, HST, PST, or QST depending on your province. If you have selected an annual plan, your per-month cost is discounted but you remain committed to a full year of charges unless you cancel before your renewal date.
Review each plan's cost and features before you cancel, so you understand what you will lose if you downgrade or switch to a free account.

All prices are converted to CAD and include applicable provincial tax. When you cancel, you lose access to premium features at the end of your current billing cycle unless you switch to the free plan, which imposes strict response limits. Your data remains accessible for a limited period after cancellation, but Typeform may delete your account and associated data after 90 days of inactivity.
How much you will save by cancelling
If you are on the Plus annual plan (approximately CAD $816 per year), cancelling saves you CAD $816 annually. Even monthly plan holders save substantially: cancelling a Basic plan at CAD $40 per month saves you CAD $480 per year. Yafee recommends you calculate your annual spend to determine whether keeping the subscription aligns with your actual usage and business needs.
You have explicit legal protections when you cancel a subscription service in Canada, grounded in provincial consumer protection legislation.
Legal framework: the consumer protection act protects you
Under the Consumer Protection Act (which varies slightly by province, but follows a consistent federal framework), you have the right to cancel a subscription within a specified cooling-off period, typically 14 days from purchase or sign-up. If Typeform enrolled you in an auto-renewal plan (a common practice where a trial converts to a paid subscription automatically), the Act requires that Typeform obtain your affirmative, informed consent before charging you. Furthermore, Typeform must provide you with clear cancellation instructions before you complete your purchase.
In Canada, the Competition Act and provincial consumer laws prohibit misleading or deceptive marketing practices, including hidden charges or obscured cancellation procedures. Consequently, if Typeform makes cancellation unreasonably difficult or does not honour your cancellation request, you have grounds to file a complaint with your provincial consumer protection office or the Competition Bureau of Canada.
Your legal position if Typeform refuses to cancel
If Typeform does not process your cancellation request or continues to charge you after you have explicitly requested cancellation, you have the right to dispute the charges with your credit card issuer or bank and file a formal complaint with your provincial consumer authority. In Ontario, contact the Ministry of Public and Business Service Delivery (Consumer Protection Branch). In British Columbia, contact the Consumer Protection BC office. Other provinces maintain similar consumer protection agencies empowered to investigate complaints and compel refunds.
Additionally, under the Consumer Protection Act, you may be entitled to recover damages if Typeform's conduct is found to be unfair or deceptive. Yafee advises you to document all communication with Typeform, including cancellation requests, confirmation emails, and billing statements, in case you need to escalate the matter.
Follow these steps to cancel your Typeform subscription and ensure your cancellation is processed correctly.
Step 1: log in to your Typeform account
- Open a web browser and navigate to www.typeform.com
- Enter your email address and password
- If you have enabled two-factor authentication, complete that step
Step 2: access your account settings and billing information
- Click on your profile icon or avatar in the top right corner of the dashboard
- Select "Settings" or "Account Settings" from the dropdown menu
- Navigate to the "Billing" or "Plans and Billing" tab
Step 3: review your current plan and cancellation terms
- In the Billing section, you will see your active plan, monthly or annual billing cycle, and next renewal date
- Note the exact renewal date (e.g., "Your plan will renew on 15 March 2025")
- Determine whether you are on a monthly or annual billing cycle
Step 4: locate the cancellation or downgrade option
- Look for a button labelled "Cancel Plan," "Downgrade," or "Manage Plan"
- If you do not see a cancellation button, click on your plan name to expand details
- Some accounts display a "Pause Plan" or "Suspend" option; these differ from cancellation
Step 5: confirm your cancellation and reason for leaving
- Click the cancellation button; Typeform will prompt you to provide feedback
- Select your reason for cancellation from the list (e.g., "Too expensive," "Found a better alternative," "No longer needed")
- You may be offered a discount or alternative plan; review this offer and decide whether to proceed
- If you wish to cancel, click "Confirm Cancellation" or "Yes, Cancel My Plan"
Step 6: save your cancellation confirmation email
- Typeform will send you a cancellation confirmation email to the address associated with your account
- Save this email to your records; it serves as proof of cancellation
- The email will specify your effective cancellation date and the date your access will end
Step 7: verify your downgrade to the free plan
- Log back in to Typeform 24 hours after cancellation
- Confirm that your plan now shows as "Free" in your billing settings
- Verify that your billing dashboard shows "No payment due"
Understanding what occurs after cancellation helps you manage your data and avoid unexpected issues.
Access and data retention after cancellation
When you cancel your paid plan, Typeform downgrades your account to the free tier immediately or on your specified effective date. You retain access to all your forms and responses, but your account is subject to the free plan's limitations: you can no longer receive more than 10 responses per form, and you lose access to premium features such as remove branding, advanced integrations, and priority customer support.
Typeform retains your data (forms, responses, and account information) for up to 90 days after your paid plan ends. If you do not log in during this period, Typeform may delete your account and all associated data. Consequently, if you wish to preserve your forms or export your data, do so immediately after cancellation.
Refund eligibility and timeline
If you cancel within 14 days of signing up (your cooling-off period under Canadian consumer law), Typeform must issue a refund of your subscription fee. If you cancel after 14 days, you are not eligible for a refund of fees already paid; however, you will not be charged on your next renewal date. If you were charged in error or without authorisation, contact Typeform support immediately to request a refund.
Refunds typically process within 5 to 10 business days back to your original payment method (credit card or bank account). Yafee recommends you monitor your bank or credit card statement to confirm the refund has posted. If the refund does not appear after 10 business days, contact your bank and Typeform support simultaneously.
Export your data before the final deadline
Before your account is scheduled for deletion, export all forms and response data. Log in to Typeform, navigate to each form, and use the "Download responses" feature to save your data as a CSV or Excel file. Store these files securely on your computer or cloud storage (e.g., Google Drive, OneDrive). Typeform does not automatically export your data after cancellation, so you must take this step manually.
Cancelling a subscription is straightforward if you follow the process, but a few common missteps can delay your cancellation or result in continued charges.
Mistake 1: deleting your account instead of cancelling your plan
Do not delete your account without first cancelling your paid plan. If you delete your account, you may lose access to your data and forms permanently, but you might still be charged if your subscription is active. Always cancel your plan through the Billing settings first, then delete your account if you wish.
Mistake 2: forgetting to confirm your cancellation in your email inbox
After you request cancellation, check your email for a confirmation message from Typeform. Some cancellation requests may require you to click a confirmation link in the email. If you do not receive a confirmation email within 1 hour, check your spam or junk folder, or contact Typeform support to verify that your cancellation was processed.
Mistake 3: cancelling immediately before an annual renewal if you needed the full year
If you are on an annual plan and cancel shortly before your renewal date, you will lose access to your account and forms at the end of the current billing cycle. If you anticipated needing Typeform for a few more months, downgrade to the free plan instead of cancelling, or contact Typeform support to request a partial refund for unused months. Yafee recommends you review your renewal date before you initiate cancellation.
Mistake 4: not saving your cancellation confirmation email
Your cancellation confirmation email is your proof that you requested cancellation. If Typeform continues to charge you after you have cancelled, this email is critical evidence when you dispute the charge with your bank or file a complaint with your provincial consumer authority. Do not delete this email; store it in a dedicated folder for at least one year.
If you have cancelled your plan but Typeform continues to charge you, take action immediately to protect yourself.
Step 1: verify your cancellation status in your account
- Log in to Typeform and navigate to your Billing settings
- Confirm that your plan displays as "Free" or shows no active paid subscription
- Check your renewal date to ensure it is not scheduled for a future date
Step 2: contact Typeform support immediately
- Use Typeform's in-app chat support or email [email protected]
- Provide your cancellation confirmation email as proof
- Include the date you cancelled, the date you were charged, and the amount charged
- Request an immediate refund and written confirmation that your subscription will not renew
Step 3: dispute the charge with your bank or credit card issuer
- If Typeform does not respond within 48 hours or refuses to refund you, contact your bank or credit card company
- Explain that you cancelled your subscription but were charged after cancellation
- Provide your cancellation confirmation email and billing statements as evidence
- Request a chargeback or dispute resolution process
Step 4: file a complaint with your provincial consumer authority
- If your bank cannot resolve the issue, file a formal complaint with your provincial consumer protection office
- In Ontario: Ministry of Public and Business Service Delivery, Consumer Protection Branch
- In British Columbia: Consumer Protection BC
- In Alberta: Fair Trading Act administration
- In other provinces: Contact your provincial Consumer Protection office directly
Yafee advises you to save all documentation related to your cancellation and subsequent charges. This evidence strengthens your case if you must escalate the matter to your consumer protection authority or pursue small claims court action.
Before you finalize your cancellation, consider whether switching to an alternative platform aligns with your needs and budget.
