Cancel Close: Step-by-Step Guide
How to cancel your close CRM account in the UAE: a step-by-step guide
What is close and why you might cancel
Close is a sales-focused CRM platform built for small teams and startups across the UAE and beyond. It combines calling, SMS, email automation, and pipeline management into one subscription service.
You might be considering cancellation for several reasons: you've found a CRM that fits your team better, your business needs have changed, or the cost no longer aligns with your budget. Whatever your reason, Stopee is here to guide you through the process clearly and protect your interests as you go.
How close works and who runs it
Close operates from San Francisco and handles all billing and account management through its web platform. If you subscribed directly through Close's website, your account control sits within the web interface and Close's help pages. If you purchased through Apple or Google, those platforms manage your subscription independently, and cancellation rules differ.
Why cancelling early matters in the UAE
In the United Arab Emirates, consumer protection laws give you certain rights when cancelling digital services. Under UAE Consumer Protection Law, if a company fails to deliver the service or terminates without cause, you have grounds to request a refund. Stopee recommends understanding these protections before you cancel, as they can strengthen your position if Close refuses to acknowledge a refund claim.
How to cancel close via the web platform
The recommended way to cancel Close is directly through your account dashboard, which takes just a few minutes and gives you full control over the process.
Step-by-step cancellation process
- Log into your Close account using your admin credentials.
- Only an account Admin can initiate cancellation. If you are not the admin, ask your team lead to proceed or request Admin access.
- Navigate to Settings by clicking your name in the top left corner of the dashboard.
- You will see a dropdown menu; select "Settings".
- Open the Billing section within Settings.
- Look for the "Billing" tab or link on the left sidebar.
- Find the Plan tab and click "Cancel your account".
- Close will ask you to confirm the cancellation.
- Pro tip: Do not close the browser or refresh the page during this step.
- Confirm your cancellation in the popup window.
- Read the confirmation carefully; Close may offer a discount to keep you as a customer.
- If you wish to proceed, click the final "Confirm Cancellation" button.
- Receive your cancellation confirmation email.
- Pro tip: Save this email. It serves as proof of your cancellation request if you later need to dispute a charge.
Important: Your account remains active and fully functional until the end of your current billing cycle. You will not lose access to your contacts, call history, or email records during this pending period.
Can you undo a close cancellation?
Yes. During the pending period before your billing cycle ends, you can reverse the cancellation by logging back into your account and navigating to Settings > Billing > Plan. Look for an "Undo Cancellation" or "Reactivate" option. If you see it, click it immediately to restore your subscription. Once the billing cycle ends and your account fully closes, reversal becomes much harder and may require contacting Close support.
Cancelling close if you subscribed via apple or google
If you purchased your Close subscription through the Apple App Store or Google Play, cancellation and refund rules are controlled by those platforms, not by Close.
How to cancel apple subscriptions
- Open the Apple App Store on your iPhone or iPad.
- Tap your profile icon in the top right corner.
- Select "Subscriptions".
- Find Close in your active subscriptions list.
- Tap "Cancel Subscription" and confirm.
- Your Close access ends at the end of the current billing period.
Pro tip: Apple allows you to cancel within 14 days of purchase and request a refund, even if you have used the service. Outside that window, no refund is provided.
How to cancel google play subscriptions
- Open Google Play on your Android device or visit play.google.com on a web browser.
- Go to your account settings (gear icon).
- Select "Payments and subscriptions" > "Subscriptions".
- Find Close and tap it.
- Tap "Cancel subscription".
- Follow the prompts and confirm cancellation.
Google's refund window is also typically 14 days from purchase, though refunds are issued at Google's discretion if the service did not perform as advertised.
Warning: If you cancel your Close subscription via Apple or Google but forget to cancel the web subscription separately, you may be charged twice in your next billing cycle. After cancelling via either platform, log into your Close account directly and follow the web cancellation steps above to avoid overlap.
Understanding close pricing in AED
Knowing what you are paying helps you decide whether cancellation is the right choice or whether downgrading to a cheaper plan makes more sense.
Close pricing plans in united arab emirates
| Plan name | Monthly cost (AED) | Annual cost (AED) | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Solo | AED 69.78 | AED 33.05 (monthly equivalent) | Solo operators, freelancers, very small teams |
| Essentials | AED 179.95 | AED 128.54 (monthly equivalent) | Small sales teams, unlimited leads and multi-channel inbox |
| Growth | AED 400.30 | AED 363.58 (monthly equivalent) | Teams needing automation and AI features |
| Scale | AED 547.43 | AED 510.71 (monthly equivalent) | Larger teams requiring role-based access and predictive dialing |
All prices are converted to AED at the fixed rate of 1 USD = 3.6725 AED. Your actual billing may appear in USD on your Close account, and the AED equivalent will depend on Close's current currency conversion rate at the time of charge.
Pro tip: If cost is your concern, consider downgrading to Solo or Essentials instead of cancelling entirely. You keep your data and relationships with Close while reducing your monthly outlay.
What happens to your account and data after cancellation
Understanding what you lose and what you keep helps you prepare for life after Close and avoid unwanted surprises.
Your access and stored information
Your Close account remains fully accessible until the end of your current billing cycle. You can still log in, export contacts, download call recordings, and review email history during this grace period. Once the cycle ends, your access is locked. You cannot log in, but Close retains your data for a limited time (typically 30 to 90 days) in case you wish to export or recover it.
Pro tip: Before your final billing date, export all your contacts, call logs, and email conversations. Use Close's built-in export tools or request a data export from Close support.
Phone numbers and integrations
Any phone numbers provisioned through Close are forfeited upon account termination. If you have set up integrations with other tools (Zapier, Slack, or other platforms), those connections are disabled once your subscription ends. Document any important workflows or automations before you cancel so you can recreate them in a replacement CRM.
Will close refund you if you cancel early?
Refund eligibility is the most confusing part of cancellation, and it varies depending on how and when you subscribed.
Close's standard refund policy
According to Close's Terms of Service, fees paid are non-refundable. If you cancel during a billing period, you do not receive a prorated refund for the unused portion of your subscription. This is the baseline rule and applies to most cancellations.
However, two exceptions exist:
- If Close terminates your account without cause: Close will refund the prorated portion of any prepaid fees you have not yet used. This is their policy, not a legal requirement.
- If you subscribed via Apple or Google: Refund eligibility depends on those platforms' policies. Apple allows refunds within 14 days of purchase if the app did not work as advertised. Google has a similar 14-day window. Stopee recommends checking your App Store or Google Play purchase history to see if you fall within that window.
Refund leverage under UAE law
UAE Consumer Protection Law (Federal Law No. 24 of 2006) gives you rights if a service is not delivered as promised or if a company fails to honour its commitments. If Close failed to provide the features you paid for, provided service below the standard promised, or misrepresented the service, you have grounds to request a refund or compensation.
Pro tip: If Close refuses your refund request and you believe you have legitimate grounds under UAE law, escalate to the Emirates General Consumer Protection Administration (EGCPA) or file a complaint with your local municipality's consumer protection office. Stopee recommends documenting all communication, screenshots of missing features, and proof of payment before you escalate.
For the full Close Terms of Service, visit Close's official website or request a copy from their support team.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling close
Cancellation often feels final and stressful, but staying calm and following a clear process protects you from losing data or being charged unexpectedly.
Top cancellation mistakes
- Not exporting data first: Once your account closes, retrieving contacts and call history becomes difficult. Use Close's export tools at least one week before your billing cycle ends.
- Cancelling via Apple or Google without cancelling the web subscription: This leaves you liable for duplicate charges. Always cancel both channels if you subscribed through multiple platforms.
- Assuming your account is closed immediately: It is not. Your account stays active until the billing cycle ends, which can be 14 to 31 days away. Plan accordingly.
- Ignoring the cancellation confirmation email: Save it. If Close bills you after cancellation, this email is your proof that you submitted the request.
- Forgetting to reassign workflows or integrations: If another team member depends on automations or integrations, they will break after cancellation. Communicate the timeline in advance.
- Not reviewing your final invoice: Close should stop charging you after the cycle ends. Check your next billing statement to confirm no further charges appear.
Your consumer rights under UAE law
The UAE enforces strong consumer protections for digital services and subscriptions, and you have legal recourse if Close violates them.
Key protections in the united arab emirates
Under Federal Law No. 24 of 2006 (UAE Consumer Protection Law), you have the right to:
- Receive services that match the advertised description and quality.
- Receive clear, transparent billing and pricing information before you pay.
- Cancel a service within a reasonable time if it does not meet your expectations, provided you cancel within a specified window (typically 14 days for digital services purchased online).
- Request a refund if the service was misrepresented, did not perform, or was not delivered as promised.
- Lodge a formal complaint with the Emirates General Consumer Protection Administration (EGCPA) if a company refuses to honour these rights.
Stopee strongly recommends keeping all receipts, screenshots of service failures, and email correspondence with Close. If you need to escalate, these documents are essential.
How to escalate a complaint if close refuses a refund
- Contact Close support in writing (email) and request a refund with a clear explanation of why you believe it is warranted.
- Wait 14 days for a response. If Close denies your request or does not respond, proceed to step 3.
- File a formal complaint with the Emirates General Consumer Protection Administration online at egcpa.gov.ae or visit your nearest consumer protection office.
- Provide your complaint reference number, evidence of non-performance, and copies of all communication with Close.
- The EGCPA will investigate and may order Close to refund you or provide compensation.
Pro tip: Write your refund request clearly and cite UAE Consumer Protection Law. Many companies honour refund requests when they see consumers know their legal rights. Stopee has seen this approach succeed countless times.

After your close account closes: what comes next
Your cancellation is complete, but a few follow-up actions protect you and ensure a smooth transition.
Verify the cancellation worked
On the day after your billing cycle ends, check your bank or credit card statement to confirm Close did not charge you. If you see a charge, contact Close support immediately with your cancellation confirmation email. If they refuse to reverse the charge, escalate to your bank and file a dispute if necessary.
Set up your replacement CRM
Import your exported contacts into your new CRM of choice. Test integrations with your existing tools (email, calendar, communication apps) to ensure everything syncs. Recreate any critical workflows or automations so your team is not disrupted.
Keep records for 12 months
Store your Close cancellation confirmation email, final invoice, and export files in a secure folder for at least one year. If a billing dispute arises, you will have proof of your cancellation date and the last charge.
