To initiate a downgrade on your account, you can head to your Account page at https://distrokid.com/account/, and click the “Manage Membership” button at the bottom. From there, you'll see the option to downgrade your subscription.

Please note that the new, lower subscription will take place on your next renewal date after scheduling a downgrade. Your current subscription and its benefits will continue until that date.

Keep in mind that if you choose to downgrade, you will lose the features available in the higher subscription plan once your downgraded plan begins. If you change to the Musician plan instead of a Musician Plus or Ultimate plan, you will lose the ability to choose a label name, specify release dates, and other great features.

How to Downgrade Your Subscription

To downgrade your subscription, head to your Account page at https://distrokid.com/account/, and click the “Manage Membership” button at the bottom. From there, click "Downgrade."

This will bring you a page where you can select the plan you wish to downgrade to. If you select a plan that offers less artist slots than the number of artists in use on your account, you will be brought to a page where you can select which artists to keep on your account. When the downgrade is processed, all other artists will be removed from the account, and all of their releases will be removed from services (unless they're opted into the Leave a Legacy album extra).

To select the artists to keep, check the box to the right of the artist name(s) on this page. Once you have checked the artist(s) you want to keep, click the button on the bottom of the page to keep the artist(s) and continue.

Next, you'll be brought to a page to confirm the downgrade. The page will display the new plan that you will be downgraded to, the date that plan will start, and which artists you are keeping on your account. To commit to the downgrade, click on the "Downgrade to (New Plan)" button.

Cancelling a Scheduled Downgrade

If you have scheduled a downgrade and then decide you want to stay on your current subscription, you can cancel the scheduled downgrade by going to your Account page at https://distrokid.com/account/, and clicking the “Manage Membership” button at the bottom. If a downgrade is scheduled, you will see a reminder of this scheduled downgrade. To cancel the downgrade from there, click on "Cancel downgrade."

You can also cancel a downgrade if you're on a release page for an artist that is scheduled to be removed from your account when your downgrade processes on your next renewal date. From the release page, you'll see a notification about the pending downgrade and a button you can click to cancel the scheduled downgrade.
