The Cancellation Friction Index

Documented-Policy tier only. This score rates how clearly Bandcamp's public cancellation page is published (cited, dated), opinion grounded in disclosed facts, not a finding about the real cancel experience, and not legal advice. The behavioural Verified-Flow grade is pending.

How hard is it to cancel Bandcamp?

Bandcamp scores 80/100 (grade B) for how clearly it documents cancellation in the US, a clearly documented cancellation policy. Cancellation is available via online (self-serve), in-app.

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

Bandcamp subscriptions (both fan artist subscriptions and Pro accounts) can be cancelled at any time online via the website or mobile app through Settings > Subscriptions (or Profile > Account Details for Pro). Cancellation takes effect immediately but access continues through the end of the already-paid billing period. No partial refunds are issued for unused time in the current period, and no further charges occur after cancellation. Items added to a fan's collection while subscribed are retained after cancellation.

How to cancel Bandcamp

  • Channels: online (self-serve), in-app
  • Official cancellation page: https://get.bandcamp.help/hc/en-us/articles/23020678863127-How-do-I-cancel-my-subscription-to-an-artist
  • Pause/freeze: not offered. No pause or freeze option is documented for any Bandcamp subscription type (fan artist subscriptions or Pro). Cancellation ends the subscription at the current billing period end.
  • Account/data deletion: Fan accounts can be permanently deleted via Settings > Fan > Termination section. Artist/label accounts have a separate deletion process. No data retention period or scope of deletion is explicitly documented. https://get.bandcamp.help/hc/en-us/articles/23020678897815-How-do-I-delete-my-fan-account

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.
