How hard is it to cancel Lenny's Newsletter?

Lenny's Newsletter is a Substack-hosted publication; cancellation is handled entirely online through the subscriber's account settings at lennysnewsletter.com/account/cancel, with no phone, mail, or in-person option. Subscribers retain access through the end of their paid billing period after cancelling. A pause option is available, allowing subscribers to stop charges for a chosen number of months. Refunds are governed by Substack's policy: requests within 7 days of payment are honoured; beyond 7 days they are at the publisher's discretion.

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.
