Cancellation Assistant

Go to Cancel Page

On the Web / Desktop

1

Go to https://help.headspace.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000754506. This Headspace support article provides the direct link to manage your subscription.

2

Locate the 'How do I cancel my subscription?' section within the support article and click on the 'cancel your Headspace subscription here' blue hyperlink. You will be redirected to your subscription management page.

3

Log in to your Headspace account if prompted. Ensure you are logging into the account associated with the subscription you wish to cancel.

4

On the subscription management page, look for an option to 'Cancel Subscription' or 'Manage Subscription'. Click on it.

5

You will likely be presented with offers to pause your subscription or a discounted rate to retain you. Select the option that clearly indicates you wish to proceed with cancellation, such as 'Continue to Cancel' or 'I still want to cancel'.

6

Headspace may ask you for a reason for cancellation. Choose any option or select 'Other' and proceed. They may present another offer here; ignore it and confirm your cancellation.

7

Review the cancellation confirmation carefully. Ensure it states that your subscription has been cancelled and confirm the date until which you will retain access to premium features.

8

You should receive an email confirmation of your cancellation. Keep this email for your records.

Advisory: Cancel Where You Subscribed

You can only stop billing on the platform you originally paid on. If you subscribed inside an app, cancelling on the website won't stop the charge — and vice versa. Watch out for retention “dark patterns” too: keep going until you see a clear “Cancellation Confirmed” screen and a confirmation email.

Aftermath

What Happens After Cancelling Headspace?

Upon successful cancellation, you will retain access to Headspace's premium features until the end of your current billing period. For example, if your monthly subscription renews on the 15th and you cancel on the 5th, you can still use the service until the 14th without being charged for the next month. Billing will cease immediately, meaning no further charges will be applied from the point of cancellation for subsequent billing cycles. Your practice history and favorite meditations associated with your account will typically be retained, should you decide to reactivate your subscription in the future.

Alternative Solutions

Headspace Alternatives Worth Considering

If you're seeking a meditation app with a different emphasis or a lower price point, consider Calm or Insight Timer. Calm offers a similar premium experience to Headspace with a focus on sleep stories and guided meditations, often at a comparable annual price but with more sleep-focused content. Insight Timer, on the other hand, provides a vast library of free guided meditations and talks from various teachers, making it an excellent budget-friendly alternative if you don't require the curated paths of Headspace. For a completely free option, YouTube hosts numerous guided meditation channels that can serve as a substitute.

Pre-Cancellation Review

Before You Cancel — Things to Consider

  • If you signed up through a third-party (like Apple App Store or Google Play Store), you must cancel directly through that platform. Headspace cannot cancel subscriptions initiated elsewhere.
  • Understand that cancelling stops future billing. If you're on a monthly plan, you won't be charged for the next cycle. If you're on an annual plan, you will typically not receive a prorated refund unless legally required or under specific circumstances.
  • Your subscription to Headspace includes a 7-day free trial. If you are within this period and wish to avoid charges, cancel before the trial concludes.
  • There are no credits or content to export from Headspace. Your progress and favorited meditations are tied to your account.
