How hard is it to cancel Circle?

Circle community plan owners can cancel online by navigating to the Manage Billing tab, scrolling to the bottom of the page, and clicking 'End your subscription'; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing cycle. For immediate deactivation, users must contact Circle support. Circle offers a 30-day money-back guarantee on Business and Professional plans (monthly and annual); Circle Plus is excluded, and no refunds are issued after the 30-day window with no credits for unused time. Non-cancelable subscription plans require written notice at least 30 days before the term end. Community data is typically deleted 90 days after cancellation, with a data export available on request.

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.
