How to Cancel Your Hootsuite Account

Last Updated: February 4, 2021

If you no longer need to use Hootsuite’s social-management service, officially cancelling your account is the way to go. Whether you’re on a paid plan (like Pro or Enterprise) or using Hootsuite for free, cancelling your Hootsuite account is fairly easy as long as you’re qualified to do so.

Steps

1
Go to the Hootsuite website. Open a web browser on your computer, and type in hootsuite.com. Hit Enter and you will be directed to the home page of Hootsuite.
2
Log into your Hootsuite account. Click on the “Sign in” button at the upper-right section of the web page, and type in your account details into the text fields.
3
Look for the gear icon. It will be on the toolbar. Move your mouse and let your cursor hover over the icon to display a pop-up menu.
4
Go to Accounts Settings. To do so, click on “Accounts” on the pop-up menu to view the Account Settings window.
5
Look for the Account Removal link and click on it. On the Account Settings window, click on the Profile tab and scroll all the way down to the bottom where the Account Removal link is. Click on it to start cancelling your account.
6
Give a reason for terminating your account. Once you click on the Account Removal link, a confirmation window will appear. This is where you can state the reason for cancelling your Hootsuite service.
- This is optional, and you can just leave it blank if you want to.
7
Confirm the account cancellation. Once you’ve made up your mind about cancelling your account, click on the “Remove Account” button to confirm and cancel the account.
- If you decide not to go through with the cancellation at this point, select “Return to Dashboard” to discontinue account removal and to go back to the home page.
