Frequently asked questions
Cancel Brevo: Step-by-Step Guide
How to cancel Brevo and avoid surprise charges: your complete malaysia guide
What Brevo is and why malaysian businesses use it
Brevo is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform that lets you send email marketing campaigns, SMS messages, transactional emails, and manage customer relationships from a single dashboard. The service is built on a freemium model, meaning you can start for free, then upgrade to paid plans as your business grows.
Brevo's pricing structure for malaysian users
You access Brevo pricing in Malaysian Ringgit (RM). The platform offers four main tiers: a free plan at RM0.00 per month, then Starter at RM36.00 per month, Standard at RM72.00 per month, and Professional at RM1,800.00 per month. Each tier unlocks more email volume, contact storage, and advanced features. The free plan caps you at 300 emails per day and 500 contacts. Starter includes 5,000 emails monthly and up to 500 stored contacts. Standard raises capacity to 10,000 emails per month and 1,500 contacts. Professional serves teams and agencies with 150,000 monthly emails, unlimited contacts, and up to 10 user seats.
What you are actually paying for
Most Malaysian users move to a paid plan because they need higher email volume thresholds, more contact storage, advanced automation rules, transactional email delivery, SMS capabilities, or multi-user access. The difference between Starter and Standard is volume and contact limits. The jump to Professional adds team collaboration tools and agency-grade support. If you are a solopreneur or small business, Starter or Standard usually covers your needs. If you run an agency or manage multiple client accounts, Professional becomes necessary.
Your consumer rights when cancelling Brevo in malaysia
When you cancel a subscription service in Malaysia, your rights are protected under the Consumer Protection Act 1999 (CPA 1999) and the Distance Contracts Regulations 2012. These laws apply to all online subscriptions, including Brevo.
What the consumer protection act 1999 says about subscriptions
Under the CPA 1999, you have the right to cancel a subscription within 14 days of purchase without penalty or justification, provided you inform the company in writing within that period. After 14 days, you may still cancel, but the company can enforce the terms of the contract. Brevo must respond to a cancellation request without unnecessary delay, and any charges must cease from your effective cancellation date. The law also requires transparent billing information: the company must clearly display the price, subscription term, cancellation method, and when charges occur. If Brevo's cancellation process is hidden or unclear, this violates the transparency requirement.
Your legal position when cancelling Brevo
You have the right to: cancel your subscription at any time after the initial 14-day cooling-off period by following the published cancellation method; receive a full refund if you cancel within 14 days of first payment (unless you have already used the service extensively); expect the company to stop billing you immediately after cancellation; and request a written confirmation of cancellation from Brevo's support team. You must: use Brevo's published cancellation method (self-service dashboard or email to [email protected]); provide clear identification so Brevo can locate your account; and submit the request before your next billing date if you want to avoid a charge. If Brevo refuses to cancel or continues billing after your request, you can escalate to the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (MDTCA) or lodge a complaint with the Consumer Tribunal.
The best methods to cancel Brevo
Brevo offers two cancellation routes: self-service through your account dashboard, and email support. The self-service method is fastest and gives you immediate confirmation.
Cancellation via the Brevo dashboard (fastest method)
This is the primary cancellation route and takes 2-3 minutes if the page loads smoothly. Log into your Brevo account, navigate to your account settings, locate the subscription or billing section, and find the cancellation option. Brevo presents a pause option first (you can pause for up to 3 months) before it shows the full cancellation button. If you want to cancel completely, select the option that says "No, I want to cancel" or similar, then choose your reason for leaving. Brevo may ask follow-up questions about why you are leaving; answer them or skip them, then confirm the cancellation with a final "Yes, I want to cancel my subscription" button. You will receive an on-screen confirmation message and an email confirmation within minutes.
Cancellation via email to Brevo support
If the dashboard method fails or you prefer a paper trail, email [email protected] with a clear subject line: "Cancellation Request for [Your Account Email]". In the body, include your registered email address, your full name, your account username, your current plan name, and a simple statement: "I request cancellation of my Brevo subscription effective immediately." Keep the email short and factual. Brevo's support team responds within 24 hours (though response times vary by plan tier). Save a copy of your email and the response. This method creates a documented record useful if disputes arise later.
Step-by-step cancellation process for Brevo
Follow these exact steps to cancel Brevo safely and confirm the action has been processed correctly.
Before you cancel: three critical checks
-
Check your billing date
- Log into Brevo and open your billing or subscription page
- Note the exact date your next charge will occur
- Cancel at least 2-3 days before that date to avoid a charge
- If today is close to your billing date, you may be charged once more; contact support to request a credit
-
Export your data
- Open your Contacts section and export your full contact list as a CSV file
- Go to Campaigns and export campaign reports or templates you want to keep
- Download any email automations or workflows you have built
- Save receipts and invoices for your records
-
Check if your subscription is paused
- Look for a "Resume subscription" button on your plan page
- If the subscription is paused, you must resume it first before you can cancel
- Click resume, wait for confirmation, then proceed to cancellation
Logging into your Brevo account
Open your browser and go to brevo.com. Click "Login" or "Sign In" at the top right. Enter the email address associated with your Brevo account and your password. If you have two-factor authentication enabled, enter the code sent to your phone or authenticator app. You are now in your account dashboard.
Navigating to the subscription cancellation page
Once logged in, locate the account menu. This is usually found in the top-right corner of the page, where your profile icon or account name appears. Click it to open a dropdown menu. Look for an option called "My plan", "Subscription", "Billing", or "Account settings". Click on "My plan". You will see your current plan name, billing cycle, price, and the date of your next charge. Scroll down to the bottom of this page.
Clicking the cancel subscription button
At the bottom of the My Plan page, you will find a link or button that says "Cancel subscription", "Cancel my plan", or "Downgrade". Click it. Brevo will show you a retention offer: the option to pause your subscription for up to 3 months instead of cancelling. Read this carefully. If you want to pause temporarily (for example, if you are scaling down temporarily), click "Pause subscription". If you want to cancel completely, click "No, I don't want to pause" or "Cancel my subscription" or similar wording.
Confirming the cancellation and selecting your reason
After you choose to cancel, Brevo asks you to select a reason. Options typically include "Too expensive", "Not using it", "Switching to a competitor", "Lack of features", or "Other". Select the reason that applies. You may also see a text box where you can add more detail. This is optional; you can leave it blank or write a brief note (for example, "Switching to a cheaper platform" or "No longer need email marketing"). Click "Continue" or "Next".
Final confirmation and receipt
Brevo shows a final confirmation screen asking "Are you sure you want to cancel?" Click "Yes, I want to cancel my subscription" or the equivalent button. Within seconds, you will see a green confirmation message on screen stating your subscription has been cancelled. At the same time, check your email inbox (and spam folder) for a cancellation confirmation email from Brevo. This email confirms the date your subscription ended and the effective date of cancellation. Save this email. Your access to paid features ends immediately, but you can usually still log in and view your contacts and past campaigns for a short period (this varies by plan; Brevo's help centre does not clearly state the duration).
What happens after you cancel Brevo
Cancellation does not mean instant deletion. Understanding what you can and cannot access afterward prevents frustration and data loss.
Access to your account and data after cancellation
Once you cancel, Brevo downgrades your account to the free plan immediately. This means you lose access to paid features like advanced automation, SMS sending, transactional email, and multi-user seats. Your contact list and campaign history remain stored, but you can only view them; you cannot send campaigns or add new contacts until you upgrade again. You retain login access for 30 days (approximately), after which Brevo may delete inactive accounts. If you want permanent access to your data, export everything before cancelling.
When your final charge appears
If you cancel before your billing date, no further charge occurs. If you cancel after your billing date, you have already been charged for that cycle and are not due another charge. If you accidentally cancel after your billing renewal date, contact [email protected] immediately and request a refund for the unwanted charge; include the date you requested cancellation and ask for a pro-rata refund. Brevo does not offer automatic refunds for charges incurred on or after the day you cancel, but you can request a manual refund through support.
Downgrade to the free plan instead of cancelling
If you want to keep using Brevo but at no cost, downgrade to the free plan instead of cancelling. Log into your account, go to "My plan", and look for a "Downgrade" link. Select the free plan and confirm. You will immediately lose access to paid features, but your account remains active and you can send up to 300 emails per day and store up to 500 contacts indefinitely. This is useful if you want to maintain your contact list without paying.
Brevo pricing and what you pay monthly
Malaysian users see pricing in Ringgit (RM). This table shows all active plans and what each includes.
| Plan | Monthly price (RM) | Emails per month | Contacts | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | RM0.00 | 300 per day (9,000 monthly cap) | Up to 500 | Testing and very small teams |
| Starter | RM36.00 | 5,000 per month | Up to 500 | New businesses and solopreneurs |
| Standard | RM72.00 | 10,000 per month | Up to 1,500 | Growing small businesses |
| Professional | RM1,800.00 | 150,000 per month | Unlimited | Agencies and large teams |
All paid plans include email campaign builder, SMS sending, transactional email, contact segmentation, and basic automation. Standard and Professional add advanced automation, multi-user access, and API access. Professional is the only tier designed for agencies.
Refund policy and what you can get back
Brevo operates a standard SaaS refund model. Whether you receive a refund depends on when you cancel relative to your billing date and how much of the service you have used.
Refunds within 14 days of purchase
Under the Consumer Protection Act 1999, you have the right to a full refund if you cancel within 14 days of your first payment, provided you request it in writing (email counts). Email [email protected] with the subject "Refund Request: First Purchase" and explain that you are exercising your 14-day cooling-off right under Malaysian consumer law. Include your account email, registration date, and payment date. Brevo's support team will issue the refund to your original payment method within 5-7 business days. This applies even if you have accessed the service, as long as you cancel within the 14-day window.
Refunds after 14 days and ongoing charges
After 14 days, Brevo is not obligated to offer a refund unless you have been incorrectly charged or billed after your cancellation date. If you cancel mid-billing cycle, you forfeit the remaining days of that month's payment. For example, if you pay RM72.00 on 1 January and cancel on 15 January, you do not receive a refund for the unused half-month. However, if you are charged after you have submitted a cancellation request, you can request a manual refund. Email [email protected] with the subject "Incorrect Charge After Cancellation" and include the charge date, amount, and the date you requested cancellation. Support will investigate and may issue a credit to your account (which you can use for future services if you resubscribe, or request as a cash refund).
Refunds for auto-renewal failures
If Brevo fails to process your cancellation and charges you after your cancellation date, you are entitled to a refund under Section 47 of the CPA 1999 (unfair contract terms). Contact support immediately with evidence of your cancellation request (the confirmation email or screenshot) and the unwanted charge. If Brevo refuses, escalate to the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (MDTCA) or the Consumer Tribunal.
Common mistakes people make when cancelling Brevo
Cancelling a subscription feels straightforward, but small missteps can lead to surprise charges and frustration. You are not alone if this happens; thousands of users cancel services each month and encounter preventable issues.
Confusing "pause" with "cancel"
Brevo's dashboard shows a "Pause subscription" option before the actual cancellation button. Pausing suspends billing for up to 3 months, but your subscription remains active and will auto-renew when the pause period ends. Many users click "Pause" thinking they are cancelling, then receive a charge 3 months later. The fix: if you intend to cancel forever, ignore the pause option and click "No, I want to cancel permanently" or equivalent text.
Not checking your billing date before cancelling
Brevo charges on the same date each month. If you cancel on 5 January but your billing date is 10 January, you will be charged on 10 January because the cancellation takes effect after that charge cycle. The solution: always check your billing date first. If it is within 2-3 days, either cancel immediately (accept one final charge) or wait until after the charge posts, then cancel. Screenshot the billing date for your records.
Assuming the dashboard confirmation is final
The green "Your subscription has been cancelled" message on the dashboard is not always the final word. Brevo may take 24-48 hours to process it on the backend. If you receive an unexpected charge 2-3 days later, the system may not have fully processed your request. Confirm that the cancellation email arrived in your inbox. If you did not receive one within 2 hours, contact [email protected] and ask for confirmation.
Not exporting your contact list before cancelling
Once you cancel and drop to the free plan, you can view your contacts but cannot export them after a certain period (Brevo's help centre is vague on this timeline). If you think you might resubscribe or want a backup, export your list before cancelling. Go to Contacts, click the export button, select CSV format, and download. Save the file to your computer.
Comparison: Brevo alternatives if you are thinking of switching
If cost, features, or customer service are pushing you to cancel Brevo, you might consider these alternatives available to Malaysian users. This table compares core functionality and pricing.
| Platform | Starting price (approx) | Email volume (starter plan) | SMS included? | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Brevo | Free / RM36 | 300 per day / 5,000 monthly | Yes | All-in-one marketing |
| Mailchimp | Free / USD 20 (~RM92) | 12,000 per month (free) | No (add-on) | Email marketing only |
| ActiveCampaign | USD 15 (~RM69) | 10,000 per month | No (separate) | CRM and automation |
| HubSpot | Free / USD 50 (~RM230) | Unlimited (free) | No | Full marketing platform |
Brevo remains competitive for Malaysian SMEs because of its bundled SMS functionality, lower entry cost, and all-in-one approach. If you are switching because of price alone, Mailchimp and HubSpot free tiers are viable. If you need SMS, Brevo is hard to beat at this price point.
