How hard is it to cancel Setapp?

Setapp can be cancelled online via the Subscription page (Manage subscription > Cancel subscription), followed by a short 2-question survey. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period — no pro-rated refund is given for unused days. Refunds are available only if no apps were installed or opened during the billing period and the request is made within 14 days (monthly plans) or 30 days (annual plans) of the last payment, submitted via support ticket. No pause/freeze feature exists; the recommended workaround is cancel-and-resubscribe.

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.
