How hard is it to cancel Kobo Plus?

Kobo Plus can be cancelled online via kobo.com (My Account > My Subscriptions > Cancel this subscription) or through the Android app under Settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period — the subscription is terminated on the first day of the next monthly billing period, so access continues until then. For US subscribers, membership fees are non-refundable; no proration is offered for mid-cycle cancellations. 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.
