Headspace and Calm are both user-friendly mindfulness and meditation apps. Headspace is geared towards beginners, and provides structure to ensure that you build upon previous sessions’ lessons before advancing to the next. Calm, on the other hand, may be better for those with an established practice looking to choose meditations and exercises in no particular order. Headspace starts at $12.99 per month and Calm starts at $14.99 per month. Both apps offer a free trial period and discounted rates for annual subscriptions.

Calm: Pros, Cons, & Cost

Calm has really great content including topic-specific meditations and music playlists, but most of it can only be found in the premium version. While they do offer some free content, it can be difficult to find, leading new users to think there isn’t any. Calm also features several big name celebrities throughout the app, which may be a perk for some but distracting for others.

Pros

  • There are several free meditation courses (5-10 sessions each) on topics like self-care, anxiety, sleep, and stress.
  • The music for focus, meditations for kids, and easy-to-do yoga are really awesome and engaging features.
  • Calm’s app is fairly user-friendly, easy to navigate, and gives you an option to personalize.

Cons

  • The free meditation courses are not easy to find and it can be easy to assume there isn’t any free content.
  • Most of the meditations feel geared towards those who already have a meditation foundation.
  • Celebrities throughout the app can make the meditations feel gimmicky.
  • All music, kids’ meditations, and yoga content are only available in the premium subscription.

Calm App Cost

The Calm app has several cost options and a number of discount options for students, families, teachers and businesses.

  • Calm Free: no cost to download from the Google Play or Apple App Store and has limited free meditation courses.
  • Calm Premium: Calm’s premium subscription is $14.99 per month and only available through the app stores, or $69.99 per year with a seven-day free trial.
  • Calm Lifetime: A lifetime subscription is $399.99 and is only available through the Calm website.
  • Calm for Families: The family plan is $99.99 per year and mindfulness exercises is only available on the Calm website. The account holder can add up to five people and they do not have to live in the same household.
  • Calm for Students: Students can get Calm for $8.99 per year, with three months free. Only available through Amazon Prime Student program.
  • Calm for Teachers: 40% discount off yearly subscriptions for teachers, as well as free resources to use in the classroom.
  • Calm for Businesses: Calm for Business has two options, “Teams” and “Business”, with costs varying depending on how many employees are added to the plan.

Headspace is an easy way to incorporate mindfulness and meditation into your routine. See for yourself how a few minutes each day can impact your stress levels, mood, and sleep. A monthly subscription for Headspace is only $12.99 per month and comes with a 7-day free trial.

In-Depth Comparison of App Features

Both Calm and Headspace have a number of similar features, ranging from content for kids and exercise to topic specific meditations for focus or sleep. Some featured areas are more extensive than others depending on which app you use, so it can be helpful to look at what both offer to determine whether Calm of Headspace is best for you.

Meditation & Mindfulness

Headspace vs Calm Review 2022 - Image of meditation screens

A major difference in Calm vs Headspace is the way their meditations are structured. Calm is more of a free-flowing, user’s choice app.  It is not required that you go through meditations in a certain order, so you can freely choose which sessions to complete at any given time. Headspace, on the other hand, is very structured in the way their meditation courses are set up – you must complete session one before you can advance to session two.

Another key difference in Calm vs Headspace is the way mindfulness skills are taught. Headspace has a section called “Techniques and Support” which specifically teaches users what a body scan is, what noting is, and how to overcome common feelings while meditating. Calm doesn’t have a dedicated section like this, and instead, incorporates fundamentals of breathwork and other techniques into meditation sessions. Headspace stressed the importance of these fundamentals to those brand new to meditation.

Sleep Content

Headspace vs Calm Review 2022 - Image of Sleep Sections

Both Headspace and Calm have dedicated “Sleep” areas, but the two approach sleep in a very different way. Headspace has a much larger section in their sleep space dedicated to teaching you how to fall asleep and how to achieve that through meditation. Calm has select meditation courses on how to fall asleep, but their big focus seems to be sleep stories led by celebrities and, in the kids section, led by children’s characters.

Calm’s sleep section, especially the Sleep Stories area, looks more like a commercial on TV, peddling the benefits of meditation without actually practicing meditation. While Headspace’s sleep section is rather tame in comparison, the app seems to take a more serious approach to falling asleep, staying asleep, and unwinding your mind.

Kids Content

Headspace vs Calm Review 2022 - Image of for kids sections

An awesome feature in both the Headspace and Calm apps is their mindfulness for kids content. Both apps do a really spectacular job at teaching mindfulness exercises, like breathwork, and meditation skills to kids from toddlers to teenagers. All of the exercises geared towards children are short, teach basic skills,  and are easy for many kids to complete.

However, Headspace’s content prominently features the characters from Sesame Street and is not as appealing to children older than five. While they do offer content geared towards old children, it’s not as dynamic as the content for kids in Calm. Something the Calm app does much better than Headspace is their kids space – not only does it have meditations for daytime and sleep stories for nighttime, it has storybooks, lullabies for little ones, and has a really awesome look.

Meditations for Focus

Headspace vs Calm Review 2022 - Image of focus centered content

Content dedicated to regaining or learning how to focus appears in different ways in Headspace and in Calm. Headspace has a heavier emphasis on meditations and mindfulness while Calm does not. In fact, the Headspace app has an entire hub called “Focus” and has featured sections like “Focus at Work”, “For studying” and “Quick Resets”. All of these areas are geared towards helping you recenter on the tasks at hand.

To find content to help regain focus in the Calm app, like meditations, you must either search for “focus” or browse through their entire library. Calm has a few meditations on how to focus at work, but it is not as extensive as in the Headspace app. What Calm does much better than Headspace, however, is its music playlists. Their playlists called “Work Flow”, “Lo-Fi Beats”, and “All Day Workflow” are far superior to the playlists in Headspace and are great to have on while you work or study.

Exercise & Movement

Headspace vs Calm Review 2022 - Image of Movement sections

Headspace and Calm both feature exercise as part of their meditation programs. Calm’s “Movement” section places a strong emphasis on yoga, which you can choose to do while sitting, standing, or lying down. There are also meditations exclusively for walking, which helps bring your mindfulness practice into your everyday world.

Headspace, on the other hand, uses their “Move” hub more as a mini-workout app with cardio, some HITT workouts, dancing, and yoga available. There are some “rest day” meditations, but these are largely meditations geared towards athletes and not for someone who occasionally walks too long on the treadmill.

Both Headspace and Calm keep track of your meditation stats, like how long you’ve meditated and how many sessions you’ve completed in your profile. Both apps will also show you what your listened to history as well as provide mood check-ins.

However, there are some unique differences between these two to note. Headspace allows you to befriend people in their app and you can then compare your stats to each other and send encouragement. Calm does not have this feature, but does have check-ins and really great journals available in-app (like their gratitude journal).

Best Alternatives to Headspace & Calm

Headspace and Calm are both really great mindfulness and meditation apps, but they may not be the best fit for some.

Meditation Apps

If you only want meditations and are a beginner,Ten Percent Happier is by far a better choice to make. While it is pricey at $99 per year, you will not only learn the basics of mindfulness and meditation, but Ten Percent teaches in a way that makes you want to continue with your practice. If you are a more advanced student and want more variety and longer meditations, Insight Timer is the way to go. With its extensive free meditation library, you can easily find a multitude of meditations to suit your needs.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Apps

While meditations can go far to improve your overall wellness and mental health, sometimes you need more support and learning opportunities. For those interested in meditation who are also looking to learn coping techniques and skills, CBT apps like Happify or Sanvello would be a great fit. Both apps offer meditations, but also focus on learning and implementing CBT skills to help refocus negative thoughts and decrease anxiety and depression symptoms.

Online Therapy

For those struggling with anxiety or depression, speaking with a licensed therapist may be the best choice. You can search an online therapist directory to find a therapist that’s right for you, try an app like BetterHelp or TalkSpace, or look into other online therapy options.

Final Verdict

Choosing whether Calm or Headspace is the right meditation app for you, will ultimately depend on what you are looking for. If you’re looking for more of a meditation-focused app, then Headspace is the right choice for you. If you’re looking for a wider variety of content in addition to meditations, Calm is probably a better fit.

That said, both apps are able to teach you meditation and mindfulness techniques that help you build and maintain your practice. Honestly, if you find yourself loving certain aspects of both apps, I recommend just getting both.
