How hard is it to cancel Tidal?

Tidal subscribers can cancel online via account.tidal.com or through the app at any time; access continues until the end of the current billing cycle with no proration. US subscribers are not entitled to refunds, including for forgotten renewals, while limited cooling-off rights apply outside the US (14 days in EU/UK, 7 days in Brazil if no streaming has occurred). Third-party subscribers (Apple, Google Play, Amazon) must cancel directly through that platform, as Tidal cannot process refunds for those transactions.

How to cancel Tidal

• Channels: online (self-serve), in-app
• Official cancellation page: https://support.tidal.com/hc/en-us/articles/201314601-Cancel-Tidal-Subscription-or-Trial
• Pause/freeze: not offered. Tidal does not offer a documented subscription pause or freeze option; the only alternatives are plan modification or full cancellation.
• Refund policy: https://support.tidal.com/hc/en-us/articles/22401976776593-Refund-FAQs
• Account/data deletion: Users can delete their account via self-service at account.tidal.com, which permanently and immediately removes playlists, favorites, listening history, profile, and uploaded music with no recovery option; deleting the account does not cancel a third-party-managed subscription (Apple/Google), which must be cancelled separately. https://support.tidal.com/hc/en-us/articles/44745598330385-Delete-Your-Tidal-Account-or-Artist-Data

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.
