Cancellation and fit

Cancellation: TIDAL subscriptions continue until changed or canceled through the account; student pricing returns to the full Individual charge after failed or expired reverification.

Who should avoid it: People satisfied with free ad-supported listening elsewhere; People who do not have compatible equipment for higher-quality audio; Families seeking DJ access within a household plan.

How to complete cancellation

Marking Cancel in Dehaze is an estimate, not a cancellation. Complete the change with whoever bills you.

Check your receipt to identify the provider, app store, or billing partner. Use their official account or support page, and keep the cancellation confirmation and effective date. Provider-specific guidance is not currently verified here.

Check your next statement for remaining charges. Dehaze does not verify that billing has stopped.
