Day 5/21 - Design a Subscription Cancellation Flow by Abhishek Paatni
This was a rather easy challenge as this challenge only requires 2 things that are important.
Empathetic UX copy.
A frictionless UX journey to let user cancel the plan with ease.
I am going to use the design style of “Spotify” for this challenge.
What I delivered:
• A 4-screen frictionless cancellation flow
• Zero dark patterns
• Human-centered UX copy
• A thoughtful 7-day grace period

🔑 Key Design Decisions:
Started with acknowledging user's emotional investment ("The playlists you created with loved ones")
Implemented respectful exit surveys that feel conversational, not interrogative
Created a clear path from Account Settings to Confirmation, respecting user autonomy
💡 The Biggest Learning:
Sometimes, the best user experience isn't about retention at all costs—it's about respecting users enough to let them go gracefully. This builds long-term trust and leaves the door open for their return.
The result? A cancellation flow that doesn't feel like a breakup, but rather a "see you later" conversation between friends.
Now, its time for you people to give me critique. I am waiting in the comment section.😁
