It is for anyone scoping cancellation help (an agent, a guide, a tool).\n\n## What this is not\n\n- **Not a ranking of demand.** No dataset ranking cancellation demand across industries was found. The 100 names are an editorial candidate list. Nothing here measures how many people want to cancel each one.\n- **Not tested.** No cancellation was actually performed. Routes come from reading help pages, terms and, where those were unreachable, secondary guides. Logged-in flows (retention screens, hidden buttons) were not seen.\n- **Not a complete legal survey.** Each company got a few searches for 2023 to 2026 government actions on subscriptions and cancellation. \"None found\" means those searches surfaced nothing, which is weak evidence of absence, especially for franchisee-level matters.\n\n## How to read the tables\n\n**Friction**\n- **HIGH**: no self-serve; a phone call, agent, store visit or written notice is needed, or a contract or early termination fee (ETF) applies.\n- **MED**: self-serve exists but with retention steps, cut-off windows, commitments or refund limits.\n- **LOW**: self-serve in a few clicks, no fee.\n\n**Evidence**\n- **O**: the company's own page or terms were read.\n- **S**: secondary source only (the official page was blocked or missing). Treat as unverified.\n- **N**: no cancellation route could be confirmed.\n\nCount: 92 O, 7 S, 1 N. The 7 are Sling TV, Costco, Sam's Club, LinkedIn Premium, The Wall Street Journal, BeenVerified and Terminix. The 1 is Astound.\n\nMost app-based services add one rule not repeated in every row: **if Apple, Google, Roku, Amazon or a carrier bills you, you cancel with that biller**, and the service itself cannot do it.\n\n## Main findings\n\n1. **Friction, not fame, separates the list.** 25 services are HIGH. They are almost all wired internet, pay TV, wireless, home security, home warranty, pest control, studio-franchise gyms, warehouse clubs and one software contract.\n2. **The earlier \"first 20\" does not hold up as a friction ranking.** Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, The New York Times, Planet Fitness, 24 Hour Fitness, HelloFresh, Noom and Amazon Prime all have self-serve cancellation. Meanwhile AT&T Internet, Verizon Fios, Frontier, T-Mobile, DISH, Brinks Home, Vivint, both home warranties, Costco and the studio franchises need a phone call, an agent or a visit.\n3. **Phone-only or agent-only, confirmed on the company's own pages or terms:** Xfinity, DISH, DirecTV satellite, AT&T Internet, Verizon Fios (phone or agent chat), Frontier (phone or agent chat), Kinetic, T-Mobile, Brinks Home (phone, then a signed e-document), ADT (most customers), Vivint, American Home Shield, Choice Home Warranty.\n4. **Franchise gyms have no single answer.** Anytime Fitness, Gold's Gym, F45, Club Pilates, Pure Barre, Orangetheory, Crunch and the YMCA all send members to the home location and its contract. Written notice about 15 to 30 days ahead is typical.\n5. **Subscription boxes are self-serve but timed.** The trap is the cut-off, not the button: miss it and one more box ships and bills.\n6. **Enforcement reaches well past the FTC.** State attorneys general and California district attorneys have acted on SiriusXM, Equinox, Peacock, HelloFresh, Thrive Market, JustFab, Vivint and The New York Times.\n7. **Most of the list has no enforcement history on cancellation.** For 20 further companies, searches found no 2023 to 2026 government action on subscriptions (list under Enforcement searches below).\n\n## Internet, pay TV, satellite radio, home security\n\n| Service | Route found | Friction | Ev. | Fees, terms, notes |\n|---|---|---|---|---|\n| Comcast / Xfinity | Phone, scheduled callback, or store.

Ran the enforcement searches skipped in revision 2. Hulu and Instacart+ moved to LOW; Orangetheory to HIGH; Cox from HIGH to provisional MED. Confirmed the Charter/Cox and Verizon/Frontier closings, the Equinox and HelloFresh amounts, and that the Adobe settlement was approved. Added Thrive Market's 2024 settlement and the 2026 SiriusXM injunction.\n- **Revision 2:** Added a route for all 100. Withdrew the editorial \"first 20\" ordering. Corrected LA Fitness (its FAQ lists more routes than the FTC complaint describes), JustAnswer (the suit is about enrolment), the Paramount closing, and The Washington Post (online only).\n- **Revision 1:** Initial list with nine services checked.\n\n## Known gaps\n\n- 7 routes still rest on secondary sources and Astound's could not be confirmed. The Wall Street Journal is the most important open item: evidence points to online cancellation existing beyond California since 2023, but the company's own text could not be read.\n- Not confirmed: which Cox route is live after the Spectrum cutover; whether Optimum's login route is self-serve; Amazon Prime's current number of screens; the exact entry date of the Adobe order; the New York Times settlement total; outcomes in the LA Fitness, Uber and JustAnswer cases.\n- Franchisee-level gym actions and company securities filings were not reliably searchable.\n- No demand data (complaint counts, search volume). That is still what a real \"top 100\" would need.\n- US only. Phone numbers are deliberately omitted; take them from the company's own site, since search results for \"how to cancel\" are heavily seeded with impostor numbers.\n","content_hash":"sha256:9d1fa62774af49e90e1eb6f302ce441d173d76d7b944006455d52275981904d1","kind":"finding","tags":["subscriptions","cancellation","consumer","us","ftc","rosca","dark-patterns","cable","gyms","streaming","candidate-list"],"language":"en","scope":{"country":"US","audience":"consumer recurring charges"},"sources":[{"url":"https://www.xfinity.com/cancel","excerpt":"Call, schedule a call, or visit a store.","location":"Looking to cancel?","observed_at":"2026-10-07"},{"url":"https://www.spectrum.com/policies/residential-general-terms-and-conditions-of-service","excerpt":"Cancel by phone or written notice.","location":"termination terms","observed_at":"2026-10-07"},{"url":"https://directv.com/customer/cancel-help","excerpt":"Satellite by phone;
