How hard is it to cancel Apostrophe?
Apostrophe scores 72/100 (grade B) for how clearly it documents cancellation in the US, a clearly documented cancellation policy. Cancellation is available via online (self-serve).
Apostrophe (a teledermatology service owned by Hims & Hers, shut down March 2025) allowed subscribers to pause or cancel entirely through their online patient account under Settings > Shipment Information. Cancellation must be initiated at least 48 hours before the next order date; orders already in pharmacy processing cannot be canceled or refunded. Prescription medications are non-refundable under any circumstances per FDA regulations; the $20 visit fee is refundable only if a provider is unable to treat the patient's condition.

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.
