Manage your mobile subscription - Android

  

Hootsuite mobile offers in-app subscriptions for upgrades to the Professional plan from Free. Upgrades begin with a 30-day free trial, and transition to a paid subscription at the end of the 30 days.

Hootsuite mobile subscriptions renew automatically each month or year. They are billed to your Google Play account payment method at the beginning of each billing cycle.

To avoid further charges, downgrade your Hootsuite mobile account to a free account and cancel your payment subscription through Google Play at least 24 hours before your next billing date, or before your free trial expires.

Important: If your Hootsuite account was not upgraded via in-app mobile subscription, it must be downgraded or cancelled via the web dashboard. For more information, see Manage your plan and account.

For information on how to cancel on the Hootsuite desktop app, see Cancel or delete your Hootsuite account.
