To cancel a BoldSign subscription, sign in as the Account Admin and open Settings > Subscription. Click Cancel Subscription at the top right, select a reason in the confirmation dialog, then click Cancel Subscription again. This stops renewal while your paid plan remains active until the end of the current billing cycle.

For a small team, stopping renewal is only part of leaving. Save your signed records, check who controls billing, and price the replacement against your actual BoldSign plan before paying for another subscription.

How do I cancel my BoldSign subscription?

The Account Admin cancels through Settings > Subscription, using Cancel Subscription at the top right. Choose a reason in the dialog and confirm with Cancel Subscription. The plan continues through the current billing cycle, so you can stop the renewal before you finish moving your signing work.

  1. Sign in with the Account Admin account.
  2. Open Settings, then Subscription.
  3. Click Cancel Subscription in the top-right corner.
  4. Select a reason in the confirmation dialog.
  5. Click Cancel Subscription to confirm.

If you change your mind before the paid period ends, the Subscription page shows Resume subscription. Click it and confirm Resume Subscription. Resuming is a separate decision, so leave that option alone if you intend to stop renewal.

Who can cancel a BoldSign subscription?

Only the Account Admin role can cancel a BoldSign subscription. A Team Admin or Member cannot do it, even if that person handles contracts every day. If you cannot find the cancellation control, check your role and ask the Account Admin to handle the renewal change.

For a team with several senders, agree who will cancel and who will collect completed contracts. Do not assume that having team administration permissions also gives someone subscription authority.

Does BoldSign give refunds?

BoldSign's Terms of Use state that “All fees stated are non-refundable.” Canceling stops the next renewal and keeps the current plan active until the billing cycle ends. Treat cancellation as a way to prevent another charge, rather than a request to get the current payment back.

The agreement is issued by Syncfusion, BoldSign's parent. Billing renews automatically, and the customer is responsible for canceling automatic renewals. Cancel before your renewal rather than expecting unused time on an annual subscription to produce a refund.

Do not use a failed payment as your cancellation method. The terms allow 10 days to remedy a payment method failure after notice, then cancel the subscription. The help center separately describes reactivation through Settings > Subscription > Reactivate after a failed renewal.

What happens to my documents after I cancel BoldSign?

Your paid plan remains active until the current billing cycle ends. BoldSign's cancellation article does not say what happens to a canceled paid plan afterward, including whether it automatically becomes Essential. Download completed documents and audit trails before that date instead of assuming continued access on a free plan.

The retention guidance covers different situations. The failed-renewal help article says an account is scheduled for deletion after 180 days. The trial FAQ says documents and account data are deleted after six months if you neither subscribe nor switch plans. The terms say licensed rights terminate on non-renewal and data is deleted in accordance with the agreement. Export first and do not rely on a grace period.

BoldSign's trial lasts 30 days with no card. Afterward, an eligible business-email account can switch to Essential with up to 25 envelopes a month. That trial route does not establish what happens when your paid team subscription ends.

How do I cancel a BoldSign subscription bought on iPhone?

If you bought the subscription in BoldSign's iOS app, manage it through iPhone Settings > your Apple ID > Subscriptions. Use that subscription's cancellation controls rather than assuming the web billing path applies. Check where you bought the plan before following the account administrator steps for a web subscription.

The App Store listing by Syncfusion prices Growth at $14.99 a month or $59.99 a year, and Business at $24.99 a month or $179.99 a year. These are app purchase prices, so keep them separate from the web rates when comparing your bill.

How do I export documents before deleting my BoldSign account?

Download completed documents and audit trails before requesting account deletion or reaching the end of your paid period. Keep copies where your team can find them without signing in to BoldSign. Account deletion cannot be reversed, and the deletion guidance says reactivation and data recovery are not possible.

Check the downloaded files before closing the account. Keep signed PDFs and their audit records together, and make sure the colleague responsible for those contracts can access them. If you later want to ask questions of a folder of signed contracts to find a clause, having an organized export gives you files to work with.

List agreements still awaiting signatures and decide how to handle them before access changes. Keep clean copies of agreements you will use again so you can prepare them in the replacement tool.

How do I delete my BoldSign account?

Open Settings > Business Profile > Profile Details, select Delete Account, then confirm with Yes delete. BoldSign processes deletion after 7 days and shows a Cancel Deletion banner meanwhile. Deletion removes access for all users, with no reactivation or data recovery afterward, so download your documents first.

Deleting an account is different from stopping its next renewal. If your immediate goal is to avoid another subscription charge while keeping the paid period available, use the subscription cancellation process described above.

ActionWhat happens
Cancel subscriptionStops renewal; the paid plan remains active until the current billing cycle ends.
Downgrade planChanges the plan; Business can become Growth through Change plan and Confirm.
Delete accountProcessed after 7 days; removes access for all users with no later data recovery.

Can I downgrade BoldSign instead of cancelling?

Yes. BoldSign allows plan changes at any time, and Business can be downgraded to Growth through Change plan > Confirm. Growth has no bulk send, so check whether your team uses that feature before switching. Customized plans can only be changed through sales rather than the standard plan controls.

If you change from yearly to monthly billing, the yearly plan stays in place until the next billing cycle, then becomes monthly. That is a billing change, not a way to recover the unused portion of the annual payment. Compare the full cost on our BoldSign pricing page before choosing a shorter commitment.

What does a small team pay after leaving BoldSign?

For three people, BoldSign Growth billed yearly costs $180, below SignSend Pro at $288 a year. BoldSign Business costs $540 billed yearly or $900 across a year of monthly payments. SignSend can reduce Business spending, but switching from annual Growth to Pro would increase the bill.

BoldSign BusinessMonthly, 3 x $25 x 12$900

SignSend Pro includes templates, signature placement on the page, signing order, reminders and deadlines. The audit trail and certificate are printed into the signed PDF, with audit trail CSV export. Pro is $49 month to month. Business is $99 monthly or $588 yearly for 10 people, with bulk send to up to 200 recipients.

SignSend accepts PDFs up to 20MB and has no API. There is no free plan, only one document to try. You can cancel any time, and the paid period runs to its end. Test your actual PDF workflow before moving the team.

For growing teams, compare the flat account price with adding BoldSign seats. If you need bulk send, compare SignSend Business for up to 10 people rather than Pro. Our BoldSign vs DocuSign guide and e-signature pricing comparison help with the wider decision. If another subscription also needs stopping, use the separate Zoho Sign cancellation guide for its own process.
