How hard is it to cancel Ulysses?

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.
