Rule: If Better increases membership fees, statutory rights under the Consumer Contracts Regulations and the Subscription Contracts Act 2024 apply. If the increase alters the contract materially, you may have the right to cancel.

Rule: For annual payments, Better offers the option to pay annually (two months free noted by Better). If you paid annually and the membership term ends, no further action is needed unless it auto-renews. Check the membership length in your account.
Required proof: membership start and end dates from your online account.

Required proof: membership purchase date and that the membership was not used. Legal reference: Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 and Better terms; see Better refund FAQ and Subscription Contracts Act 2024 (cooling-off rights).

Use these actual Better prices to compute yearly costs and savings.
Flex Adult: £10 x 12 = £120 per year.
Live Better (online-only): £9.50 x 12 = £114 per year.
Flex Junior: £5 x 12 = £60 per year.
Flex Concessionary: £5 x 12 = £60 per year.
Example saving: switching from Flex Adult (£10) to Live Better (£9.50) saves £120 - £114 = £6 per year.
Setup fee example: Flex plans carry a one-off setup fee of £12.50; include this in first-year cost if applicable.
Cheapest real alternative within Better plans: Flex Junior / Concessionary at £5 per month = £60 per year. For external competitor alternatives, see the competitors section below.
Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 give a 14 day cooling-off period for contracts concluded online or off-premises, with a refund for services not used. Consumer Rights Act 2015 requires services to be performed with reasonable care and skill and prohibits unfair contract terms, including disproportionate cancellation penalties.
The Subscription Contracts Act 2024 strengthened cooling-off and cancellation rights for subscription contracts. If Better's contract breaches auto-renewal transparency or makes cancellation unduly hard, Citizens Advice and the Competition and Markets Authority consider that unfair.
First, complain to Better using [email protected] and retain written evidence. If unresolved, get advice from Citizens Advice. For payment disputes on a credit card, use Section 75 or contact your card issuer for chargeback. If the issue relates to payment services, contact the Financial Ombudsman Service where relevant.
Save the written confirmation of cancellation. Check your bank for the final Direct Debit collection date. If you believe a payment was taken incorrectly, submit a refund request via Better's online refund request form within 4 weeks of the cause for refund. Better aims to make a final decision within 14 working days.
After your final payment has been taken, cancel the Direct Debit instruction with your bank. Better states refunds will not be issued for monies collected because the Direct Debit was not cancelled at the bank.
Request account data deletion or portability under GDPR by contacting Better support. To rejoin, use the membership pages or the Better UK App and follow the standard registration process. Annual packages may offer two months free if paid annually; check current offers on the membership page.
