How hard is it to cancel CleanMyMac (MacPaw)?

CleanMyMac subscriptions purchased from the MacPaw Store can be cancelled online by signing into my.macpaw.com or via the Subscription Manager (entering activation code or email); App Store purchases must be cancelled through Apple's own subscription management. Cancellation takes effect immediately with no required notice period — access continues until the end of the current billing period, after which most features lock. Refunds are available only on the initial subscription purchase: within 14 days for monthly-or-shorter plans started after 23 Nov 2024, and within 30 days for all other customers. Renewals are non-refundable, and App Store purchasers must seek refunds through Apple.

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.
