How hard is it to cancel LingQ?
LingQ scores 69/100 (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, email.
LingQ Premium subscriptions can be cancelled online at any time via Account Settings by downgrading to the Free plan; subscriptions purchased through Apple App Store or Google Play must be cancelled through those platforms. There are no cancellation fees and no long-term contracts. New Premium subscribers are entitled to a full refund within the first 30 days if unsatisfied; after that, fees are non-refundable with no credits for partial months. Upon cancellation, users retain access through the end of the paid billing period, and all content is deleted at period end.
How to cancel LingQ
- Channels: online (self-serve), in-app, email
- Official cancellation page: https://www.lingq.com/en/terms/
- Pause/freeze: not offered. No pause or freeze option is documented. Users can downgrade to a free plan, which retains access to limited features without a paid subscription.
- Account/data deletion: Upon cancellation of a Premium membership, all content is deleted at the end of the billing period and cannot be recovered. If a user fully deletes their account (separate from downgrading), the account and all data are immediately deleted from the system. https://lingq-support.groovehq.com/help/how-do-i-cancel-my-account

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.
