Showing 25 of 626 scored services.

How the score works

Six signals, fixed weights, the same formula for every service.

Each guide's verified difficulty rating fixes the band - Easy, Medium or Hard. Six signals, read from the same verified record, place the service inside that band. The weights below never change, and no score is adjusted by hand afterwards.

Time & steps 25%

The steps in the verified flow and the minutes it takes from the account page to a confirmation.

Route to cancel 20%

Self-serve on the web scores low. App-store billing sits in the middle; email, a support request or written notice scores high.

Obstacles 20%

Retention offers, surveys, extra confirmation screens and long flows recorded in the verified steps.

Findability 15%

Whether a direct link to the cancel page exists, and whether the app hides where the billing really lives.

Money after cancel 12%

Termination fees, notice periods billed in full and a no-refund policy, read from the fact rows and terms.

Pause or downgrade 8%

Whether a documented pause or a free plan exists as an alternative to cancelling outright.

What the bands mean

1 – 3.9 Easy Self-serve, no agent, done in about a minute.
4 – 6.9 Medium Extra screens, offers, or app-store billing.
7 – 10 Hard An agent, a notice period, or money lost on the way out.
Where the scores come from

Based on the cancellation flow each provider publishes - not on user reports.
