How hard is it to cancel Drops?
Drops scores 67/100 (grade C) for how clearly it documents cancellation in the US — a partially documented cancellation policy with notable gaps. Cancellation is available via in-app, online (self-serve), email.
Drops subscriptions are managed through the platform where they were purchased: iOS users cancel via Apple Settings > Subscriptions, Android users via Google Play > Payments & subscriptions, and web (Paddle) buyers cancel via the link in their Paddle receipt email. Cancellation stops future renewals but does not automatically trigger a refund. Web (Paddle) purchases carry a 14-day money-back guarantee; Apple and Google Play refunds are governed entirely by those platforms. No pause feature exists.
How to cancel Drops
- Channels: in-app, online (self-serve), email
- Official cancellation page: https://support.languagedrops.com/hc/en-us/articles/19370768653331-How-do-I-cancel-my-subscription
- Pause/freeze: not offered. No subscription pause or hold feature is documented. Users must cancel outright; the Terms and Conditions contain no pause mechanism.
- Account/data deletion: Users can delete their account from within the app (Profile > Settings > Delete account). Account deletion is permanent and unrecoverable, but does NOT cancel an active subscription — users must cancel separately first. Data deletion requests can also be submitted by email to [email protected] per the Privacy Policy. https://support.languagedrops.com/hc/en-us/articles/19371242464531-How-to-Permanently-Delete-Your-Drops-Account-and-Data

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.
