Gravity
The hardest subscriptions to cancel
We score how hard it is to cancel popular subscriptions from 0 to 100 and grade them A to F, using a disclosed six-factor rubric — cancellation channels, retention gauntlets, notice periods, contracts and fees, refund friction, and documented dark patterns. Every score is computed only from facts documented in official sources.
