How hard is it to cancel Later?

Later subscriptions can be cancelled online via app.later.com (Settings → Subscription → Cancel Plan) or by contacting customer support; iOS subscribers must cancel through Apple. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing cycle, so users retain access to paid features until that date. Plans are generally non-refundable, but Later may consider refund requests on a case-by-case basis — annual plans within 30 days of purchase and monthly plans within 7 days of the first invoice. A 14-day free trial is offered; cancelling before the trial ends avoids any charge.

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.
