How hard is it to cancel Udemy?
Udemy scores 82/100 (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.
Udemy Personal Plan subscriptions can be cancelled online via the Subscriptions page on udemy.com or through the mobile app at any time. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period, with access to subscription content maintained until that date. No refunds or partial refunds are provided for subscription plans purchased through Udemy.com, unless required by applicable law in certain jurisdictions. There is no pause or freeze option; users wishing to stop billing must cancel outright.

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.
