Last reviewed 2026-06-05 · Documented-Policy tier · grade B

Railway subscriptions are cancelled online via Billing page (Active Plan → Cancel Plan); no phone, mail, or in-person channel exists. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing cycle, the plan stays active until then. Refunds are at Railway's sole discretion, available only to new customers who have not previously received a refund and whose invoice contains no resource-usage charges; the refund button appears in Billing History if eligible, and processing takes 5-10 business days. No pause or account-freeze feature is offered; resource-usage charges incurred before cancellation are still invoiced after the subscription ends.

How to cancel Railway

  • Channels: online (self-serve)
  • Official cancellation page: https://docs.railway.com/pricing/faqs
  • Pause/freeze: not offered. No pause or freeze option is documented. Cancellation is the only way to stop charges; the plan remains active until the end of the current billing cycle.
  • Account/data deletion: Account can be deleted from Account Settings (profile photo → Delete Account). All account information, project data, and email list memberships are removed. Railway states GDPR-aligned deletion. Outstanding invoice balance must be cleared before deletion is permitted. https://docs.railway.com/access/accounts

Evidence

Scope & fairness

This is the Documented-Policy tier: it measures how clearly the cancellation policy is published (cited, dated facts), not the behavioural experience of cancelling (Verified-Flow audit pending). Every company is scored on the same five dimensions with the same published weights, scores cannot be bought or removed. It is opinion grounded in disclosed facts, and not legal advice.
