The steps

Cancellation steps

  1. 1

    Site admin opens admin.atlassian.com → Billing → Manage subscriptions.

  2. 2

    Click Cancel subscription for Jira Software (and any Hubs you want to drop).

  3. 3

    Export each project: Project settings → Export → CSV (current view).

  4. 4

    Backup attachments separately via the REST API — they don't ship with the CSV.

Don't get burned

Watch-outs

  • Cancelling Jira keeps Confluence active if you have it — cancel each product separately.
  • Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing cycle, no prorated refund.
  • Annual plans don't refund unused months unless you ask support and qualify.

Before you cancel

Pick the replacement

Cancelling without a destination is the most common reason teams come back. Here's what we recommend instead of Jira.
