How hard is it to cancel eHarmony?
eHarmony scores 65/100 (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-app, email, postal mail.
eHarmony allows online self-service cancellation (turning off auto-renewal) via account settings under Data & Settings > Amend Subscription / Cancel Auto Renewal; mobile app subscribers must cancel through Apple App Store or Google Play settings directly. Cancellation stops future renewal but the current subscription runs to its full term-end with any pending installment payments still due. A 3-business-day cooling-off period applies for direct web purchases (cancel via email to [email protected] or written mail notice), with refunds processed within 10 days. Outside that window, refunds are not offered.

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.
