How hard is it to cancel Topic?
Topic scores 60/100 (grade C) for how clearly it documents cancellation in the US — a partially documented cancellation policy with notable gaps. Cancellation is available via online (self-serve), in-app.
Topic subscriptions can be canceled online at any time through the account portal (Account > Manage Subscription > Billing & Subscription > Cancel), or through the third-party platform used to subscribe (Apple App Store, Google Play, or Roku). No cancellation fee or minimum commitment is required. Refund terms are not explicitly disclosed in the public help documentation; users are directed to contact the billing team for refund requests. A pause option is available as an alternative to full cancellation.

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.
