How hard is it to cancel PDF.ai?
PDF.ai scores 66/100 (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).
PDF.ai (Damon Chen's chat-with-PDF tool) is a recurring per-user subscription ($17-$37/mo). Cancellation is self-serve and clearly described: 'You have the freedom to effortlessly cancel your subscription whenever you desire' via the linked Stripe billing portal, with 'no more fees once you decide to cancel.' A dedicated Cancellation & Refund page documents this. The downsides: refunds are flatly refused ('we are unable to offer any type of refund, partial or full'), the policy page is poorly linked (reachable mainly by direct URL/search, not from the footer), and there is no working Terms page (/terms 404s) so no governing-law clause is published.

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.
