1. 1

   1. Postbye

   Our pick$23.99 once

   Postbye runs on the web, on any phone or computer, and does one job: a written cancellation with a paper trail. You name the company, it writes the letter and finds the mailing address, and you see the full letter before it is mailed. Then, in its own words: “We mail yours by certified mail and send you the proof of delivery.” It needs no bank link, passwords or logins. Signed proof is +$13.99 at checkout, and if it cannot get the subscription cancelled, its money-back guarantee applies within 10 business days.

   2. Rocket Money

   $7 to $14 a month

   Rocket Money is a finance app that links your bank and cards to find your subscriptions. Cancelling for you is for Premium members, pay-what-you-choose and typically $7 to $14 a month after a 7-day free trial: you tap “Cancel This For Me” and its team contacts the provider, usually in 2 to 10 days. Its help pages say it cannot cancel every provider, that subscriptions billed through Apple, Google Play, Amazon, Roku or PayPal must be cancelled there, and that it may ask for your username or password for the service.

Four kinds of app, by how they cancel for you

• A mailed letter. Postbye writes a cancellation letter and sends it by certified mail to the company’s mailing address. It needs no login and leaves a delivery record you can show.
• A team inside a finance app. Rocket Money and Hiatus contact the provider for you, on their paid plans, for the providers they can reach.
• A tool list. DoNotPay lists cancelling among more than 100 tools, with no price shown.
• A tracker. Subex, Emma and Bobby show you what you pay for. You still cancel each one yourself.

Which one fits

• Choose Postbye when a company asks for written notice, keeps charging you or makes cancelling hard, and you want proof it received your request.
• Choose Rocket Money if you want a budgeting app that finds your subscriptions and you are happy to pay for Premium; see Rocket Money alternatives if not.
• Choose a tracker such as Subex, Emma or Bobby if you only need the list, then cancel online where the company lets you. Is a cancellation service worth it? covers when that is enough.

How we ranked them

Apps that cancel for you rank above apps that only track, and among those, a mailed letter with a dated delivery record ranks first, because it works where a company takes notice only in writing and it leaves proof. Rocket Money ranks above Hiatus because it states its price and turnaround; DoNotPay shows no price at all. The three trackers are in the table for reference and are not ranked, because they do not cancel anything.

Every fact comes from each app’s own pages, read in November 2026; “Not stated” means the app does not say. For streaming in particular, see the best service to cancel streaming subscriptions. Our criteria are on How we rank.
