How hard is it to cancel Instacart+?
Instacart+ scores 72/100 (grade B) for how clearly it documents cancellation in the US — a clearly documented cancellation policy. Cancellation is available via online (self-serve), in-app.
Self-serve: app Account / website menu -> Your Instacart+ membership -> Cancel membership. Free-trial cancellation = no charge. Annual plans get a full refund within the first 5 calendar days if no orders were placed; monthly plans are not prorated but benefits run to the cycle end. Pre-renewal charges (applied up to ~6h early) are refundable per the Instacart+ terms.

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.
