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.
