Canceling your account

Canceling your account

We’re sorry to see you leave SimplePractice. If you’re having trouble with something, you can submit a help request or visit our Ideas and Suggestions board to add your suggestions about ways to improve the platform. 

Note: We don’t offer a way to put your SimplePractice account on hold. If you’re currently on the Essential or the Plus plan and would like to keep storing client records in your account, you have the option to reduce your monthly subscription to our Starter plan starting at $29/month. For additional details on how to prepare your account if you’ll be taking a leave of absence, see Preparing your SimplePractice account for a leave of absence.

If you're set on canceling, you'll need to cancel your own account. We can't cancel your account for you because of the security policies outlined in our Terms of Service. To cancel your account:

  • Navigate to Settings > Practice > Plan info
  • Click Cancel account

Important: We strongly recommend that you export your data before you delete your account. When exporting, make sure you open and save the file somewhere secure so that it's accessible to you later on. Once your account is deleted, you will not be able to retrieve your data from SimplePractice.

To export your data:

  • Click Export Your Data

Note: This data export contains only client information, and doesn’t include any Reports, Subscription invoices, or payment information from clients or insurance. These can be exported on an individual basis prior to canceling your account. For more information, see Viewing your SimplePractice invoices and Billing documents.

To continue the cancellation process:
