What happens to my bookmarks if I cancel Marqly?

Nothing is deleted when you cancel. When you cancel Marqly Pro, your account drops to the free tier at the end of the billing period — every save, tag, and highlight stays in your account. Your library does not shrink and nothing gets hidden: every bookmark you saved on Pro stays open, browsable and keyword-searchable on Free. What you lose is the AI layer — semantic search, auto-tagging and summaries on new saves, asking AI about your saves, and YouTube chat. Saving, boards, highlights, read mode and keyword search keep working indefinitely.

The free tier is a real landing spot

This matters because some subscription products effectively hold your data hostage: cancel, and your archive goes read-only or disappears after a grace period. Marqly’s free tier isn’t that — nothing is ever deleted for being on it. After canceling you can still save new links, get AI auto-tagging on them, and use semantic search across your accessible library. Your library doesn’t freeze; it keeps growing if you want it to.

What you actually lose

One thing changes on the free tier: the Pro AI features pause — semantic search, auto-tagging and summaries on new saves, asking AI about your saved content, and chatting with YouTube videos through their transcripts. Your bookmarks themselves are untouched and stay fully accessible. Summaries and answers you got during your subscription don’t retroactively vanish your saves — the underlying bookmarks are yours either way. The exact split is in free vs Pro.

If you had a large library

Nothing is hidden from you. The free tier holds up to 2,000 bookmarks and you can read and search all of them, so a library built up over a Pro subscription stays exactly as usable for finding things by name or keyword. If you are above 2,000, everything you already saved stays and stays readable — that ceiling limits new saves, not access to old ones. What gets harder is finding something you only half-remember, because searching by meaning is the Pro feature.

Timing

Cancellation takes effect when your paid period ends, not the moment you click cancel. Cancel an annual plan in month 3 and you keep Pro through month 12. The steps are in how do I cancel my subscription.

If you’re leaving entirely

Two separate actions, often confused: canceling stops billing but keeps your account and data; deleting your account removes everything. If you want a copy of your data before going anywhere, email support@marqly.com for an export — see can I export my data. And if you resubscribe later at app.marqly.com, your library is right where you left it.
