How hard is it to cancel Hinge?
Hinge scores 72/100 (grade B) for how clearly it documents cancellation in the US — a clearly documented cancellation policy. Cancellation is available via in-app, online (self-serve), postal mail.
Hinge subscriptions auto-renew and must be cancelled at least 24 hours before the next billing date through the platform used to subscribe: Apple App Store settings, Google Play, or the Stripe billing portal for direct payments. Cancellation via mail (to a Dallas PO Box) is also accepted; California and Ohio residents may also cancel by email or fax. Refunds are generally not issued for unused subscription time, but residents of 12 named US states (including CA, NY, IL) have a 3-business-day full-refund window, EU/EEA/UK users get 14 days, and Apple/Google purchases must be refunded through those platforms. No pause or freeze option exists.

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.
