How hard is it to cancel Udacity?
Udacity 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).
Udacity subscriptions are cancelled entirely online via Account Settings > Subscription > Cancel, with no phone or email cancellation channel documented. There is no mandatory notice period, but Udacity recommends cancelling a few days before the next billing date; access continues until the end of the current paid period. A full refund is available only within the first 7 days of the initial subscription month (14 days for EU customers); subsequent auto-renewal months carry no refund eligibility. After the refund window, cancellation stops future charges but no partial/pro-rated refund is issued.

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.
