Is myIQ Legit? What the $1 Trial Costs and How to Cancel

What does myIQ cost?

myIQ costs $1.00 for a 7-day trial, then a recurring plan billed until you cancel. The Terms give the USD base prices: Basic $9.99 a week, Premium $14.99 biweekly, and 28-day plans at $19.99, $24.99 and $29.99. They add that prices may show in your local currency and that the trial payment may be processed as two separate $0.50 charges.

The price you see depends on where you are. Which?’s researchers found £29.99 a month after a £1 seven-day trial, and a customer’s welcome email set out a temporary plan of £14.99 a week. On October 27, 2026, the English homepage of myIQ showed S$1.00 for the trial and S$38.99 every 28 days in a block near the bottom, below the reviews. The button at the top of the page reads “Start My IQ Test” with no price next to it, and no price appeared on the quiz screens in that session.

Which? reported one customer, Michael, charged 31 times over almost seven months, about £464. That is close to 31 charges of £14.99, the weekly price in the welcome email he received (31 × £14.99 = £464.69). On mobile, Which? found the monthly fee only at the very bottom of the page, and myIQ told Which? it has since moved pricing to a more prominent position.

How do I cancel my myIQ subscription?

You cancel myIQ in its cancellation portal or from your profile, and it takes less than a minute according to myIQ’s Help Center. Use one of the routes below and keep the confirmation email.

1. Open the myIQ cancellation portal, enter the email address on your account, type the six-digit code myIQ sends you and confirm.
2. Or log in to your account and cancel from your profile settings (the homepage calls it Manage Subscription in Account settings).
3. Or email help@myiq.com from the address on file. The Terms list the self-service portal, support email and Help Center as the three routes.
4. Save the confirmation email. The Help Center says you get one, that you will not be charged again, and that you keep access to the end of the period you already paid for.
5. Check your next card statement. If a charge lands after your confirmation, send the confirmation to myIQ and ask for that charge back.

Do it yourself. The Help Center says myIQ does not act on cancellation requests from third-party “subscription cancellation” services, and Terms §16.7 says it will only act after verifying with the account holder at the email address on file. One such service, Xpendy, lists $14.95 for a registered cancellation letter. The portal costs nothing.

Can I get a refund from myIQ?

You can ask myIQ for a refund, and it decides each request case by case. Its Terms say it does not “usually operate a standard refund program” and reviews requests at its discretion. Send yours through the Help Center, the portal or help@myiq.com with your account email, transaction details and a short description. An approved refund is processed in 3 business days and returned to the original payment method (Terms §7).

Ask in writing and keep a copy. Which? reported that all three customers in its article were refunded by myIQ after they complained. The Terms list change of mind and failure to cancel before renewal as non-refundable, so explain what you did not agree to: which price you saw, when and where. The Terms §12.4 also give an escalation address, escalations@myiq.com.

Dispute the charge with your card issuer

For a US credit card, call your card company, then send a written billing-error notice within 60 calendar days of the statement that shows the charge. The issuer must acknowledge it within 30 days unless it has already resolved the dispute, per the CFPB. Ask the issuer to block further payments to the merchant at the same time. In the UK, Which? points to chargeback or Section 75, then the Financial Ombudsman Service, which checks whether pricing was transparent; Which? says payments taken without transparent pricing would likely be treated as unauthorised.

Is the myIQ score accurate?

The myIQ score is an estimate from a 40-question online quiz, and myIQ describes it as “educational entertainment only” in its Terms §3.1. The homepage says the questions are inspired by Raven’s Progressive Matrices. The quiz we saw mixes number sequences, memory screens, picture matrices, self-rating statements such as preferring hands-on learning, and age and education questions at the end.

Terms §3.2 add that results may not reflect actual intelligence, because mood, device, time of day and familiarity with the format all move a score. Its rank screens compare you with myIQ test takers, and the homepage says so. On any short online test the number is a starting point, and the useful part is the range around it plus a formula you can check. See how online IQ tests compare on accuracy for the general case, or a hands-on look at 123test’s free and paid tests.

IQMog publishes both parts. Each correct answer is worth 3 points on a 70 to 130 scale, and the 95% score range is about ±12 points, built on an assumed reliability. The full working is on how IQMog scores.

How do I spot an IQ test subscription before I start?

Check three things before you enter card details: the terms are shown first, you agree on purpose, and stopping is easy. They come straight from the US federal law on online subscriptions, 15 U.S.C. § 8403, and they work on myIQ, BrainManager or any other site.

The statute covers online sales that use a recurring-charge (negative option) feature. The FTC’s separate “click to cancel” rule was vacated by the Eighth Circuit on July 8, 2025, on procedural grounds, and the law firm Cooley notes that ROSCA continues to apply to online subscriptions. BrainManager, another online test, offers a 7-day trial for a nominal amount to access premium results, according to its own reply on Trustpilot; run it through the same table.

What does a clean IQ test deal look like?

A clean IQ test deal shows one price, takes one payment and has nothing to cancel. That is IQMog: the 20-puzzle test is free to take, with no account and no credit card to start, and the full report is $4.99 once, tax included, with no subscription. See what is free on IQMog.

Run IQMog through the same three checks. The price is on the page before you pay and the charge equals the price shown. You pay by choosing to buy the report, one time. Nothing renews, so there is nothing to stop. IQMog asks for your email only if you buy, for the receipt and to recover access. What the $4.99 report contains: your IQ estimate with its score range, a percentile, your performance details and a downloadable PDF report.

What makes an online IQ test worth taking lays out the criteria, with cost at the top of the list.
