How hard is it to cancel Surfer SEO?
Surfer SEO 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), email.
Surfer SEO subscriptions can be cancelled self-service via Settings > Billing > Your subscription, where a 'Cancel subscription' button is available to account admins/owners. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing cycle (monthly or annual), with full feature access retained until then. Cancellation does not trigger an automatic refund; users must contact the support team separately, and a 7-day money-back guarantee applies to first-time subscribers. All user-created content is permanently deleted once the subscription expires, with no data preservation or export option.

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.
