How hard is it to cancel Plenty of Fish?
Plenty of Fish scores 73/100 (grade B) for how clearly it documents cancellation in the US — a clearly documented cancellation policy. Cancellation is available via online (self-serve), in-app.
Plenty of Fish subscriptions can be cancelled online via Manage Account on desktop or through the app store (Apple Subscriptions or Google Play) on mobile. Cancellation must be completed at least 24 hours before the renewal date; paid features remain active through the end of the current billing cycle. All subscription fees are final and non-refundable — past charges are not returned after cancellation. Deleting the app or account does not automatically cancel the subscription.

- Pause/freeze: available — POF offers a 'Take a Break' feature that hides your profile from search and matches, but it does not pause or suspend billing — the subscription continues to charge normally.

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.
