The Cancellation Friction Index

Last reviewed 2026-06-05 · Documented-Policy tier · grade B

Subscribers can cancel at any time online via Account Settings > Manage Payments; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing cycle with continued access until then. Codecademy issues no prorated or partial refunds for any subscription cancellation; the no-refund rule is stated in both the Help Center and Terms of Service, with a narrow exception for plans that expressly state otherwise or where required by law. Monthly subscribers are offered a pause option (1-3 months, no charge) before completing cancellation; annual plans are ineligible for pause. Cancelling a subscription does not delete the account, a separate deletion request must be submitted through the Privacy Center.

Evidence

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.
