The Family Plan (The #1 Hack)
The Headspace Family Plan allows you to share one subscription with up to six members. Splitting the cost this way is by far the most effective method to significantly reduce the price per person.
The Student Plan Discount
If you are a student at an eligible institution, Headspace offers a deeply discounted student plan (often around 85% off the standard price). It is the absolute cheapest way to get full access if you qualify.
Check Your Corporate Benefits
Before you pay, check with your employer's HR department. Hundreds of companies worldwide offer a free Headspace subscription as part of their employee wellness benefits program.
Explore the Free Content
Even without a subscription, the Headspace app offers a solid library of free content, including introductory meditation courses and select sleep exercises. This is a great way to maintain a practice without a monthly cost.
Pre-Cancellation Safety Checklist
Your Progress and Stats Are Safe
CRITICAL: Your meditation history, run streak, and all personal stats are tied to your account, not your subscription. You will NOT lose your progress when you cancel.
You Revert to the Free Version
VERY IMPORTANT: Your account does not get deleted. It simply reverts to the free tier. You will still have access to the basic meditation courses and a limited selection of other exercises.
You Lose Access to the Full Library
After cancelling, you will lose access to the vast majority of the content, including the full library of specific courses, all Sleepcasts, and the 'Focus' music section.
Confirm Your Billing Source (Website vs. App Store)
The cancellation process depends on how you paid. If you subscribed on the Headspace website, you must cancel there. If you subscribed via the Google Play Store or Apple's App Store, you MUST cancel it in your phone's subscription settings.
