Short answer
This research tracks two separate universes: 332 canonical Cancel-Subscription app screens (1,685 screenshots, 81 apps) and 135 labeled in-product web cancellation screens source[1]source[2]source[3]. All 135 web screens are flagged as real in-product cancel screens, not marketing pages source[2]. Report the two universes separately — they are not a single pooled sample.
332 canonical app cancel screens vs 135 labeled in-product web cancellation screens, July 2026.
Two universes, kept separate
The app corpus is screenshot-backed across 81 apps; the web corpus is 135 labeled in-product cancellation screens, every one flagged is_in_product=true source[1]source[2]source[3].
Why not pool them
The two are collected and labeled differently, so pooling would produce a false blended rate. The web set is deliberately filtered to real product cancel screens (not marketing pages) source[2], and the app canonical category is partially polluted with paywall/win-back screenshots, which is why app-side tactic rates use the narrower 48-app genuine-cancel-intent subset number[4]. Keep denominators honest by citing each universe on its own.
How to apply it
When benchmarking a web cancel flow, anchor to the 135-screen web universe; for a mobile app flow, anchor to the app corpus and its 48-app clean subset for tactic rates source[1]source[2]number[4]. Do not quote an app-derived save-offer rate as if it applied to web, or vice versa — the samples are separate by design.

The numbers
| # | Stat | Computed from |
|---|---|---|
| [1] | 332 canonical Cancel-Subscription app screens | cancel_canonical_screens |
| [2] | 135 in-product web cancellation screens, all flagged in-product | web_cancellation_screens |
| [3] | 1,685 screenshots across 81 apps back the app corpus | cancel_screenshots_and_apps |
| [4] | 48-app / 401-screenshot genuine-cancel-intent subset for tactic rates | genuine_cancel_intent_subset |
Methodology
Universes: 332 canonical app cancel screens (1,685 screenshots, 81 apps) and 135 labeled in-product web cancellation screens, July 2026. Method: report each universe separately with its own denominator. Caveat: the two are not pooled; the app category is partially paywall-polluted, so tactic rates use a 48-app clean subset.
