How hard is it to cancel Dave?
Dave scores 74/100 (grade B) for how clearly it documents cancellation in the US — a clearly documented cancellation policy. Cancellation is available via in-app, email.
Dave membership ($1/month) can be cancelled anytime in-app via Settings > Membership or by emailing [email protected]. Users must cancel at least 3 business days before the next billing date to avoid being charged for the following month; no refunds are issued for the remaining days in the current cycle. Cancellation is blocked if there is an outstanding ExtraCash advance balance — the balance must be settled to $0 first. Deleting the app does not cancel the membership.

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.
