How hard is it to cancel Sleep Cycle?
Sleep Cycle scores 68/100 (grade C) for how clearly it documents cancellation in the US, a partially documented cancellation policy with notable gaps. Cancellation is available via in-app, online (self-serve).
Sleep Cycle Premium subscriptions are cancelled through the platform where they were purchased: iOS users go through Apple Settings > Subscriptions, Android users through Google Play > Payments & Subscriptions, and web subscribers log in at app.sleepcycle.com/account. Deleting the app does not cancel the subscription. Refunds for App Store purchases are handled solely by Apple; Google Play refunds are available within 48 hours; web subscribers must cancel first, then email [email protected] with their receipt. No subscription pause feature is offered.

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.
