How hard is it to cancel Purple Carrot?
Purple Carrot scores 77/100 (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, phone, email.
Purple Carrot subscriptions can be canceled online (Account > Subscription > Change Subscription > Cancel Subscription), via the mobile app, by phone at 1-857-703-8188, or by email at [email protected]. The cancellation deadline is 11:59 PM ET on the Tuesday one week before the next scheduled delivery; missing this deadline results in one final charge with no refund for that shipment. As an alternative to canceling, subscribers can pause for 6, 8, or 10 weeks. Data deletion requests are handled via [email protected] under applicable state privacy laws.

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.
