How hard is it to cancel Forest?
Forest scores 50/100 (grade D) for how clearly it documents cancellation in the US — a poorly documented cancellation policy. Cancellation is available via in-app.
Forest Plus is an optional subscription billed through the Apple App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android); cancellation must be performed through those platforms, not through Forest directly. On iOS, users go to Settings > [Name] > Subscriptions > Forest > Cancel Subscription; on Android, through Google Play > Profile > Payments & subscriptions > Subscriptions > Forest > Cancel. Plus features remain active through the end of the current billing period after cancellation. Refunds are handled by the respective app store platform, not by Forest/Seekrtech directly.

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.
