They steal your money Don’t use free trials - it’s impossible to get out without being charged for an annual subscription. They also charge you before your free trial is over. The app is not good with your mental health - ironic right?

Avoid!! They only care about money not you!… Set to not renew my annual membership as I couldn't afford it this year. Every year since 2019 I have received a renewal notice in November but nothing in 2023 as expected! Then they charged me anyway and refuse to refund the £49.99!! Nothing fluffy and fuzzy about Headspace! As money grabbing as others! Would have gone back but will not do so now as I don't trust them.

Great app, seemingly untrustworthy company I really like the app but in signing up for a 'free' trial it just billed me a year's subscription immediately, which has really eroded my trust in the company. I recommend you try a friend's version because there is no free trial, you will just be billed immediately. It's a shame because that's not the stress you are looking for in a meditation app! The irony is that I probably would have paid after the trial ended but now I think I will do some research on more ethical companies I can trust my money with.

Atrocious cancellation policies. Signed up for Headspace with a yearly subscription, took note of the terms of use being "cancel anytime". After finding the app too attention-grabby and their colab with Disney and other less than noble francises, I wanted to cancel. Contacted helpesk, was told to do this on the Headspace platform, (PC) but it wasn't possible under subscription. Contacted again and they left me without responing for 3 months. "Sorry to keep you waiting" was the automated message in November 2023. Only after uploading screenshots of the page they directed me to, the platform - so they could SEE cancelling isn't possible, - also attatched my emails to their help center - did they cancel on the day. Oh like it was no problem. Some of the responses from the team were downright rude with resposes like "looking into your mess", misspelling my name and so on. And then: they tried to blame me, my email-adress,my bank- anything except taking responsibility, kind, and making less stress - ah - for users who came to them for mindfulness, and ended up with the stress of not being able to get away from this company.

Headspace Stealth Fees BE CAREFUL. Once your trial period is over they will continue taking the subscription out of your account by stealth, i.e. without any prior warning or communication, until further notice, even if you are not using the service. I have been quietly charged £150 over the last three years despite not using them since 2021. I would NOT RECOMMEND HEADSPACE for this reason. Although legally acceptable, in my opinion they should at least send you an email to remind you that they will be taking a subscription fee from your bank account.
