How hard is it to cancel Tovala?

Tovala scores 75/100 (grade B) for how clearly it documents cancellation in the US — a clearly documented cancellation policy. Cancellation is available via online (self-serve), in-app, email.

Last reviewed 2026-06-06 · Documented-Policy tier · grade B

Tovala subscriptions can be cancelled self-serve in the app under Settings > Meal Plan > Delivery Settings; the deadline is Wednesday at 6 p.m. CT the week before the next order processes. Customers under a meal commitment (discounted oven purchase tied to ordering 6 weeks of meals within 6 months) cannot pause — only skip weeks — and early cancellation may trigger a buy-out fee equal to the oven's full retail price. Within the first 100 days, customers can instead return the oven for a full refund and Tovala will cancel the meal plan via customer support. No proration is offered on already-processed meal orders.

How to cancel Tovala

  • Channels: online (self-serve), in-app, email
  • Official cancellation page: https://support.tovala.com/hc/en-us/articles/115009553468-What-s-the-difference-between-skipping-pausing-canceling
  • Pause/freeze: available — Pause is available but only after the meal commitment is fully satisfied. Customers still under a meal commitment can only skip individual weeks (up to 5 at a time), not pause. Pause stops all unprocessed upcoming and future deliveries while saving subscription preferences.
  • Account/data deletion: No dedicated self-serve account/data deletion page found. Upon cancellation, Tovala removes the customer from its active list, deletes meal plan settings, and stops meal-related communications. Data deletion requests would need to be submitted via customer support. https://my.tovala.com/legal/privacy-policy

Evidence

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.
