How hard is it to cancel Cline?
Cline scores 64/100 (grade C) for how clearly it documents cancellation in the US, a partially documented cancellation policy with notable gaps. Cancellation is available via online (self-serve), in_account, email.
The Terms of Service document a self-serve exit: to cancel 'you must notify us before the start of the next Subscription Term by using the appropriate functionalities of the Service, including through the same method you used to sign up' - so a subscriber who signed up online cancels online in account settings - with [email protected] as an alternative. Access continues to the end of the paid term: 'You will continue to have access to the Subscription through the end of the then-current Subscription Term.' Refunds are excluded, including for unused balance: 'you will not be entitled to receive any refund for any such cancellation, suspension, or termination, nor for any unused credits or unused time on your subscription', with discretionary exceptions on request to support.

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.
