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.
