Cancel your membership first
You must cancel a paid membership before you can deactivate or delete your account (Stitch).
- Go to the Membership & Billing page in your account settings, found under More.
- Click Cancel Subscription.
- Follow the prompts until you see “Your Stitch subscription has been cancelled.”
You keep your access until the billing period ends, and then your account moves to a free Limited membership. Your profile isn’t deleted at this point (Stitch).
How to deactivate or delete
- From the top menu, select More.
- Select Profile & Settings, then Account Information.
- Scroll to Deactivation & Deletion, and select Close your account.
- Choose Deactivate or Delete, then select Next.
- Confirm. You’ll be logged out immediately.
Deactivate or delete?
Deactivating hides your profile, removes you from search results and stops members contacting you. Your connections and information are saved, and you only have to log back in to return. Your paid membership will have been cancelled, so contact support if you want to reinstate it.
Deleting permanently removes your profile, connections and activity. You can’t undo it or get your data back, so choose deactivation if you might return.
Met someone and want to stay?
You don’t have to leave at all. Stitch says many members who’ve found a partner stay for the activities. Go to Settings → Companionship preferences, and turn Profile Visibility off. You can still attend activities, but other members won’t see your profile when they browse (Stitch).
If you’re only getting too many emails
You can change what Stitch sends you under More → Profile & Settings → Notifications.
Before you go
Swap contact details with friends you’d like to keep. They’ll lose touch with you here once you’ve closed your account.

Can I pause Stitch instead of deleting?
