How to Cancel Semrush

$139.95โ€“$499.95/mo ยท $1,679.40โ€“$5,999.40/yr annually

Hard to cancel

A self-serve cancel flow exists but routes through a multi-step retention funnel, and some users report the online flow does not fully cancel without also confirming through live chat with support.

Why people forget: Signed up for a free trial or a single SEO audit and let it roll into a monthly or annual plan that kept renewing after the project ended.

Step-by-step guide

  1. 1

    Log in and click your account icon โ†’ "Subscription info"

  2. 2

    Click "Cancel subscription"

  3. 3

    Work through the cancellation survey and any discount/pause offers presented before the cancel confirms

  4. 4

    If the online flow stalls or does not show a final confirmation, open live chat and explicitly request cancellation and written confirmation

  5. 5

    Save the confirmation email or chat transcript as proof

Watch out for

  • โš ๏ธAnnual plans are billed upfront โ€” cancelling stops future renewals but typically does not refund the current term
  • โš ๏ธSome users report being billed after believing they cancelled through the self-serve flow alone โ€” always get written confirmation
  • โš ๏ธDowngrading to a lower tier is a separate action from cancelling; make sure you complete full cancellation if that is the goal
