How to Cancel eHarmony Premium in 2026

eHarmony costs $35.90-65.90/month depending on plan length. They push 6-24 month commitments with misleading "per month" pricing — and the cancellation flow is deliberately frustrating. Here's how to get through it.

🔴 Dark Pattern Alert: eHarmony's cancellation flow uses multiple retention screens, discount offers, and confusing wording designed to make you give up. Push through ALL of them. You will see 3-5 screens before reaching the actual cancel button.

The Pricing Trap

⚠️ How eHarmony pricing works:

1 month: $65.90/mo
6 months: $45.90/mo ($275.40 upfront)
12 months: $35.90/mo ($430.80 upfront)
24 months: $25.90/mo ($621.60 upfront)
Multi-month plans are prepaid in full — you pay the total upfront
Auto-renews at the same rate unless you cancel before renewal

Refund Policy

3-day cooling off period: Full refund if you cancel within 3 days of purchase (required by law in some states)
After 3 days: eHarmony typically refuses refunds on multi-month plans
Credit card dispute: If you feel misled by the pricing, file a chargeback. Describe it as "misleading subscription terms"
California residents: Extra consumer protections under CCPA
