How to Cancel AutoCrit Account
At some point, we all hit that moment: “Do I really use this subscription enough?” If you’ve been using AutoCrit but feel it’s not the editorial best friend you hoped for, you might want to cancel. Maybe you’re done editing your novel, maybe you’re just saving a few bucks. Either way, you’re here to unplug. Good news — it’s not that hard.
TL;DR
You can cancel your AutoCrit account by going to your account settings and navigating to the subscription section. Look for the cancel option and follow the steps. Make sure to cancel before your next billing cycle to avoid unwanted charges. It only takes a few clicks!
Okay, Let’s Dive In!
First, don’t panic. Canceling AutoCrit isn’t like trying to get out of a gym membership. No awkward phone calls. No hidden contract ninjas. Just a few clicks, and you’re free.
Step 1: Log In To Your AutoCrit Account
Head over to the AutoCrit website and log in with your username and password. Easy peasy.
Once you’re in, you’ll land on your dashboard. It might be tempting to do a “just one more” edit — but no! Stay focused. We’re here to cancel your subscription, not your weekend plans.
Step 2: Go To Account Settings
Look to the top right corner of your screen. See that little profile icon or maybe your name? Click it. A dropdown will appear. In there, you’ll find something like Account Settings or My Account.
Click it. You’re almost halfway there!
Step 3: Find the Subscription Section
Inside your account settings, there will be a section titled something like Billing or Subscription. Click into that area. It’s where the magic happens — or un-happens, in our case.
Here’s what you’re likely to find:
- Current plan details
- Your renewal date
- Upgrade or downgrade options
- The “Cancel” button
Step 4: Hit Cancel
Click that Cancel Subscription button.
AutoCrit might ask you why you’re leaving. Feel free to give them honest feedback. Or don’t. It’s totally up to you. Once you’ve confirmed, your subscription will be set to cancel at the end of the billing cycle.
Important: You will usually retain access until your current billing period ends. So if you paid for a month, you still get that time. No refunds for unused days, so plan accordingly.
Wait—Do You Need Help From Support?
In some rare cases, cancellation might not work or you don’t see the option. Yup, tech is weird sometimes.
If that’s your situation, don’t slam your keyboard. Here’s what to do:
- Scroll to the bottom of the AutoCrit website.
- Click on Contact or Support.
- Send them a friendly message saying you want to cancel.
- Include your account email to speed the process.
Their support is usually helpful and won’t try to trap you into staying. Bonus points for keeping it polite!
Canceling Auto-Renewal vs. Cancelling Your Account
Let’s get one thing clear: Canceling your subscription is not the same as deleting your account.
If you cancel your subscription, you stop the payments and lose premium access — but your account and data stick around.
Wanna go nuclear and delete everything? Contact support and request a full account deletion. This erases your writing data from their servers. Forever. Poof!
Will You Lose Your Projects?
If you’re on a premium account and cancel it, you’ll likely lose access to some tools. But AutoCrit does say your saved projects should hang around for a bit.
Still, just to be safe, we recommend:
- Download and back up your writing projects
- Copy and paste important stuff to a Word doc or Google Doc
- Make sure you’re not relying on cloud-only access
Better safe than sorry, right?
Can You Get a Refund?
Short answer: Probably not.
AutoCrit generally doesn’t do partial refunds. According to their policy, once you’re billed, you’re billed. No backsies.
That’s why it’s smart to cancel a few days before your renewal date. It saves you a month of charges you didn’t want.
What About Lifetime Access Users?
If you have a Lifetime membership, you usually can’t cancel it — because it doesn’t auto-renew.
You paid once, and you have it for life. So if you’re on a break from writing but plan to return, maybe just ignore it. Lifetime plans are there when you need them again.
Alternatives To AutoCrit
So you’re leaving AutoCrit… but does that mean you’re giving up on editing tools altogether?
Here are a few alternatives you can try:
- Grammarly: Great for grammar and clarity
- ProWritingAid: Fantastic for in-depth style feedback
- Hemingway Editor: Simple but powerful
- Google Docs with Add-Ons: Flexible and free
These tools can cover some of the ground AutoCrit did — and maybe at a better fit for your current needs.
Final Thoughts
Canceling your AutoCrit account shouldn’t be a headache. Whether you’re done editing for now or moving on to different tools, you’ve got options and steps that make sense.
Follow the steps, grab your stuff, and ride off into the literary sunset. 🚀
Happy writing!
