How hard is it to cancel Beehiiv?
Beehiiv 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), email.
Beehiiv subscriptions can be cancelled online via Workspace Settings or through the publication website profile menu; publisher plans may also involve contacting a Customer Success Manager. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period — the subscription is not renewed but access continues through the paid term. All fees are explicitly non-refundable with no proration, except in the narrow case where Beehiiv materially reduces core functionality. A 14-day free trial is offered on new accounts to evaluate paid features before committing.

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.
