How hard is it to cancel JDate?
JDate scores 68/100 (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.
JDate Premium subscriptions can be cancelled online via My Profile > Account Settings > Subscription > Manage Subscription (multi-step with reason-selection retention flow), or through the iOS App Store or Google Play Store for mobile purchases. No advance notice period is required; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid billing period and the account reverts to free/Basic access. All fees are explicitly non-refundable except in roughly 11 US states (including California and New York) where a 3-business-day full-refund window applies by law. Subscriptions auto-renew by default and renewal pricing is disclosed in the Terms of Use.

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.
