How hard is it to cancel Blinkist?
Blinkist scores 78/100 (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, email.
Blinkist subscriptions can be cancelled online via account settings on blinkist.com, or through Apple/Google app stores for in-app purchases; email support ([email protected]) is also available. Cancellation must be completed at least 24 hours before the next billing date, and access continues until the end of the current billing period. A 14-day money-back guarantee applies to first-time web and Google Play purchases only — renewals are not refundable; App Store refunds must be requested directly from Apple. No subscription pause feature is offered.

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.
