How hard is it to cancel Ulysses?
Ulysses scores 77/100 (grade B) for how clearly it documents cancellation in the US, a clearly documented cancellation policy. Cancellation is available via in-app, online (self-serve).
Ulysses subscriptions are managed entirely through Apple (App Store) or Setapp, so cancellation is done via iOS/macOS Settings or the App Store app, not through Ulysses directly. Users must cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period to avoid the next charge; the subscription remains active until the period ends, then the app enters read-only mode. Paid subscription fees are non-refundable per Ulysses' terms, but users may request a refund from Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com, where Apple reviews and decides each case. No pause or freeze option exists.

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.
