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.

- Pause/freeze: not offered. eHarmony does not offer a pause or freeze option; users can only hide their profile or cancel auto-renewal to let the subscription expire at period end.

Users with an active subscription must contact Customer Care to begin deletion. Deletion is irreversible — messages and matches are lost.

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.
