How hard is it to cancel Busuu?
Busuu scores 77/100 (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.
Website subscribers can cancel online by going to Settings > Subscription > Cancel Premium; app-store subscribers must cancel through their respective app store (Apple App Store or Google Play). Cancellation stops auto-renewal and access continues until the end of the current paid period with no partial refund for unused time. A 14-day money-back guarantee applies to the initial purchase only; renewals are non-refundable, and if the service was already used within the 14-day window the refund is prorated for the value already consumed. Busuu does not offer a subscription pause feature.

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.
