How hard is it to cancel MasterClass?

MasterClass subscriptions can be cancelled online via Account Settings on masterclass.com (web browser only; in-app cancellation is not supported), or through Apple/Google/Amazon for subscribers who joined via those platforms. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period and access is retained until the renewal date. A 30-day satisfaction guarantee refund is available only for first-time purchases made directly on masterclass.com; annual renewal charges are not refundable. No pause or freeze option exists.

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.
