Dark Pattern Score
Score reflects intentional friction: hidden flows, required phone calls, guilt-trip dialogs, and refund opacity. Difficulty to find the service is not included.
Common issues
HelloFresh keeps showing me 'Pause' instead of 'Cancel'.
This is deliberate. Scroll past all the pause/skip options to find the 'Cancel Plan' link at the very bottom of the Plan Settings page.
I missed the Friday cutoff — will I be charged?
Yes. If you miss the cutoff, the next box is locked in. You can contact HelloFresh support to try to stop it, but it's not guaranteed once the order is processing.
