How hard is it to cancel Calm?
Calm scores 83/100 (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.
Calm subscriptions are cancelled through the platform where they were purchased: calm.com (Settings > Manage Subscription), Apple App Store, or Google Play — all self-serve online with no phone or mail option. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; access continues until then, and you must cancel at least 24 hours before a free trial ends to avoid a charge. Refunds are available within 30 days for purchases made on calm.com or Google Play; Apple purchases are refunded directly through Apple. No subscription pause or freeze 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.
