Pay-Per-Use Plan

  1. Go to Settings > Workspaces.
  2. Click the cog icon next to your Workspace name.
  3. Select Delete.
    • Note: Only the Billing Owner can delete a Workspace. Deleting a Workspace removes its settings and members but does not delete members’ Expensify accounts.

Annual Subscription

  1. If eligible for a refund, go to Settings > Account > Subscription.
  2. Click Request a Refund if:
    • You own a Collect or Control Group Workspace.
    • You have only been billed once.
    • You have no outstanding balance.

Once downgraded, your Workspace will be deleted, and a refund line item will appear in your Billing History.


FAQ

Will I be charged for my subscription even if I don’t use SmartScans?

Yes, Collect and Control subscriptions are prepaid and not usage-based, so you will be charged regardless of activity.

I’m in a workspace. Do I need my own subscription too?

No, workspace members already have unlimited SmartScans. However, you can keep a subscription for personal use if you leave your company’s workspace.
