Last reviewed 2026-06-05 · Documented-Policy tier · grade C

Cancellation is done in-app or online via Settings > Subscription > Close my account, or by contacting customer support; all investment and checking accounts must first be closed and liquidated before the subscription terminates. There is no formal notice period, either party may cancel at any time. For monthly subscribers, subscription fees are non-refundable if cancelled mid-billing cycle; annual subscribers receive a pro-rata refund of the remaining period minus any monthly-equivalent fees already applied. No pause or freeze option exists.

Evidence

Scope & fairness

This is the Documented-Policy tier: it measures how clearly the cancellation policy is published (cited, dated facts), not the behavioural experience of cancelling (Verified-Flow audit pending). Every company is scored on the same five dimensions with the same published weights, scores cannot be bought or removed. It is opinion grounded in disclosed facts, and not legal advice.
