Auto-renewal

On this site, auto-renewal means a plan or membership that bills again on its own at the end of each term unless the reader cancels it first, in the company's own words.

It's the line under a membership price, in a refund policy, or on a plan card saying the plan bills again unless you cancel. The renewal figure is often not the figure the plan was sold at: a promotional first month renews at the standing rate, and some six-month plans renew month to month at a higher price.

Each review opens with the standing rate, not the promotional first charge, and prints any cancellation deadline the company publishes. Set a reminder before the renewal date if you plan to stop.

Every review that uses it

Each line is the sentence the word appears in, taken from our review of that company, with the full review a click away.

28 of the 65 reviews above use the word only inside a passage too long to quote here in one piece. We would rather link the review than cut a sentence out of the middle of a quotation.
