ReachleeHow to cancel Chatfuel —
steps, refunds, and what to save first
The exit checklist for Chatfuel: which billing structure you are on, what to export before you touch anything, where the refund terms live, what the free Light plan keeps after you downgrade, and how to rebuild Instagram automations elsewhere in minutes.
How to cancel Chatfuel
As of September 2026, to cancel Chatfuel you cancel the AI PRO subscription from the billing area of your Chatfuel dashboard — verify the current menu path in Chatfuel's help centre, since labels change. You keep paid features until the period ends, then revert to the free Chatfuel Light plan. Refund terms sit in Chatfuel's Terms of Service, not the pricing page; read the current version before relying on one. Export contacts and note your flows first.
The five-step cancellation checklist
Check which Chatfuel billing structure you are on
Chatfuel restructured in 2026. The current lineup is Chatfuel Light (free) and AI PRO ($49/mo monthly, roughly 29% less billed annually). Accounts opened earlier in 2026 may still sit on the legacy conversation-based plans from around $29.99/mo. Your renewal date and refund position depend on which one you have, so read your billing page first.
Export contacts and leads
Your contact list is the asset. Export it — emails, phone numbers, tags — while you still hold full AI PRO access. Chatfuel Light's usage limits are not published on the pricing page, so do not assume the free tier will keep everything reachable after downgrade.
Record the automations you actually run
Most Instagram accounts use two or three: a comment-to-DM on posts, a story-reply automation, a keyword reply. Write down trigger keywords and message text, and screenshot anything with branching or an AI knowledge base. Rebuilding elsewhere becomes copy-and-paste.
Cancel from the dashboard billing settings
Open the billing area of your Chatfuel dashboard and cancel the AI PRO subscription. Chatfuel's help centre has the current click path — verify there rather than trusting a screenshot from a blog. Paid features continue until the period ends; there is no immediate cut-off.
Decide about refunds and channels separately
Refund eligibility is defined in Chatfuel's Terms of Service — the pricing page does not state a window, so read the ToS and contact support inside whatever period it specifies. Disconnecting your Instagram, Facebook, or WhatsApp channel and deleting the account are separate actions from cancelling the subscription.

Reasons to stay on Chatfuel
You run WhatsApp or e-commerce flows
Chatfuel's WhatsApp depth and commerce focus are its real strengths. Reachlee is Instagram-only by design, so if WhatsApp is part of your funnel, cancelling Chatfuel means finding a second tool for it.
The AI sales manager closes for you
If the AI PRO agent is genuinely converting conversations from its knowledge base, $49/mo can pay for itself. Measure it before you cancel — if it is, stay.
Chatfuel Light fits your volume
You may not need to cancel at all. Downgrading to Light keeps Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp automations for $0, subject to the unpublished usage limits. Check those limits with Chatfuel before assuming Light will hold your volume.
You only need Instagram comment-to-DM
Then the $0 to $49 cliff is the reason to leave. Comment-to-DM, story replies, keyword triggers, follow gate, and email capture cost $9/mo flat on Reachlee Pro, and the free plan runs 1,000 DMs a month indefinitely.
Cancel from the dashboard billing settings after exporting your contacts and noting your flows — and read Chatfuel's Terms of Service for the refund position rather than trusting a summary. Stay if WhatsApp or the AI sales manager is earning its keep. If your automations are Instagram comment-to-DM, story replies, and keyword triggers, the honest math is that Chatfuel's only paid step is $49/mo while Reachlee does that job for $9/mo flat, with a real free plan to land on while you rebuild.
The Instagram-only landing spot
Reachlee Free: 1 Instagram account, 1,000 DMs/month, 10 leads, 30-day analytics. Pro $9/mo: 3 accounts, unlimited DMs, contacts, and leads, Growth Gate, scheduled DMs, any-post triggers. Growth $14/mo adds Reachlee AI replies from your own knowledge. Business $29/mo: 10 accounts, 5 team seats, Google Sheets lead piping. Cancel in Settings in one click; access runs to period end.
Start freeCancelling Chatfuel — FAQ
Will I get a refund when I cancel Chatfuel?
It depends on Chatfuel's Terms of Service, which is where the refund terms live — the pricing page does not state a window. Search results reference a time-limited refund rule, but the binding text is the ToS; read the current version on chatfuel.com and contact support inside whatever period it specifies. Cancelling stops future renewals either way, and you keep paid access to the end of the period.
Where is the cancel button in Chatfuel?
In the billing area of the Chatfuel dashboard, as a self-serve action on the AI PRO subscription. Menu labels change, so verify the current click path in Chatfuel's help centre rather than a third-party screenshot. Cancelling the subscription, disconnecting channels, and deleting the account are three separate actions.
What happens to my flows and contacts after I cancel?
Your account reverts to Chatfuel Light, the free plan, at the end of the billing period. Light covers Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp automations, a shared inbox, and contact management, but 'usage limits apply' and Chatfuel does not publish the numbers on its pricing page. Export contacts before cancelling so the limits cannot surprise you.
How much does Chatfuel cost if I stay?
As of September 2026, two plans: Chatfuel Light is free with no credit card, and AI PRO is $49/mo billed monthly or roughly 29% less (about $35/mo effective) billed annually. There is no middle tier. Legacy accounts may still be on the earlier conversation-based plans from around $29.99/mo.
Is switching from Chatfuel to Reachlee safe for my Instagram account?
Yes. Both run on Meta's official Instagram API and follow the same rules — no first contact, the 24-hour window, one private reply per comment within 7 days, rate limits. Reachlee connects through Instagram Business Login with no password, and pre-flights every send against Meta's limits. Disconnect Chatfuel's Instagram channel once your automations are live elsewhere.
How do I rebuild my Chatfuel Instagram automations in Reachlee?
Connect your Instagram Business account, then create a comment-to-DM automation (keyword, message, link button), a story reply or reaction automation, and any keyword DM triggers. Add email or phone capture inside the DM if you were collecting leads. Most people are done in the time it takes to read this page.
