How hard is it to cancel The Dispatch?
The Dispatch scores 73/100 (grade B) for how clearly it documents cancellation in the US — a clearly documented cancellation policy. Cancellation is available via online (self-serve), email.
Members can cancel online by navigating to My Account > Membership tab > Manage > Disable auto renew; no phone or mail channel is offered. A full refund is available within 30 days of purchase but must be requested by contacting support — it is not automatic, and accepting it ends access immediately. After 30 days, no refund is issued but access continues to the end of the billing period. No pause or freeze option exists.

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.
