Before you cancel
- There is a stated free tier — downgrading instead of cancelling keeps your account and stops the billing.
- Pricing is credit-based; spend or export what your remaining credits cover before the plan ends.
- OpenRouter runs on web, api — cancel wherever you subscribed: a plan bought through the Apple App Store or Google Play is managed there, not on the website.
Downgrade instead? OpenRouter plans as stated
| Plan | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 50 reqs/day |
| Pay-as-you-go | — | No minimum spend. Prices based on models |
| Enterprise | — | Volume commitments. Prices based on models |
Request a refund by email
OpenRouter states a 1-day refund window, so a request within that window is asking for what their own policy grants.
OpenRouter does not state a support channel on the pages we read — paste the template into the billing or help form inside your account.
A stated refund window puts OpenRouter in the minority: only 113 of the 630 AI tools we've read state one.
