Downgrading to a Free Account
Pay-Per-Use Plan
- Go to Settings > Workspaces.
- Click the cog icon next to your Workspace name.
- Select Delete.
- Note: Only the Billing Owner can delete a Workspace. Deleting a Workspace removes its settings and members but does not delete members’ Expensify accounts.
- If any members were active that month (submitted, approved, or edited reports), you will be billed for their usage.
Annual Subscription
- If eligible for a refund, go to Settings > Account > Subscription.
- Click Request a Refund if:
- You own a Collect or Control Group Workspace.
- You have only been billed once.
- You have no outstanding balance.
Once downgraded, your Workspace will be deleted, and a refund line item will appear in your Billing History.
FAQ
Will I be charged for my subscription even if I don’t use SmartScans?
Yes, Collect and Control subscriptions are prepaid and not usage-based, so you will be charged regardless of activity.
I’m in a workspace. Do I need my own subscription too?
No, workspace members already have unlimited SmartScans. However, you can keep a subscription for personal use if you leave your company’s workspace.
