Heads up: a cancel flow often buries the real button and floats a last-minute deal to keep you. Keep going until you see a cancellation confirmation.

A 30-day trial is long for a fitness app, and Peloton's instructor-led classes still set the bar for engagement. Use it to answer one honest question: do you actually press play three days a week without someone yelling at you in person? If yes, App+ is one of the best fitness deals on this list. If no, cancel by day 28. You'll have spent nothing but time.

Annual trial is twice as long as monthly — always pick that one even if you plan to cancel. (7-day trial (monthly) or 14-day trial (annual))

BetterHelp doesn't bill insurance, so yeah, the sticker shock is real. That weekly quote can land as ~$260-$400 hitting your card on the 4-week cycle. As of mid-2026 BetterHelp's also rolling out true weekly billing, so check which cadence your account is actually on. Canceling itself is easy, which is rare for this category. But pause it the moment your therapist match isn't clicking - rematching while still paying is just rent. Skip it entirely if you've got insurance with mental health coverage. Your in-network copay will be a fraction of this.
