How to Cancel Factor Meals in 2026 (Skip the 5-Week Minimum)

Updated February 2026 · 5 min read

Factor (formerly Factor75) charges $60-130+ per week depending on your plan — that's $260-560/month for pre-made meals. What most people don't realize until they try to cancel: Factor has a hidden minimum commitment and buries the cancel button deep in their settings.

🔴 Timing is everything: You must cancel before your weekly cutoff day (usually Wednesday at midnight EST) or you'll be charged for the next week's box. Check your cutoff in Account → Delivery Settings.

How to Cancel Factor Online

Log in at factor75.com/my-account/subscriptions
Scroll down to Plan Settings
Click Cancel Plan (it may say "Deactivate" on some accounts)
They'll offer discounts and pauses — decline all of them
Confirm cancellation and screenshot the confirmation

⚠️ Can't find the cancel button? Factor periodically moves or hides it. If you don't see "Cancel Plan" in your subscription settings, try: Account → Plan Settings → scroll to the very bottom → look for small gray text that says "Deactivate my plan."

Cancel by Phone or Chat

If online cancellation isn't working:

Phone: Call 1-888-573-5727 (Mon-Sun 9am-9pm EST)
Chat: Use the chat widget on factor75.com (faster than phone)
Email: support@factor75.com — subject "Cancel My Subscription"

Say: "I want to fully cancel my subscription, not pause or skip." They'll try to offer discounts. Stay firm.

The Real Cost of Factor

6 meals/week: ~$77/week = $333/month = $4,000/year
12 meals/week: ~$132/week = $572/month = $6,864/year
18 meals/week: ~$180/week = $780/month = $9,360/year
Per meal: $11-13 each — more than most restaurant meals

For context, the USDA says the average American spends $350-400/month on all groceries. Factor costs as much or more for just lunch and dinner.

Pause vs. Cancel: Know the Difference

Factor will aggressively push you to "pause" or "skip weeks" instead of cancelling. The difference matters: pausing auto-resumes after your pause period (usually 1-4 weeks) and you get charged again.Cancelling stops everything permanently. If you want to stop paying, make sure you cancel, not pause.
