First: work out who is billing you

This is the step people skip. Headspace can be billed either by Apple (if you subscribed inside an iPhone or iPad app) or by Headspace directly (if you signed up on their website). Only the biller can cancel it.

To check: open Settings → your name → Subscriptions on your iPhone. If Headspace appears there, Apple bills you — use route A. If it does not, use route B.

Route A — billed by Apple

  1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
  2. Tap your name at the very top.
  3. Tap Subscriptions.
  4. Tap the subscription, then Cancel Subscription.

Route B — billed by Headspace directly

  1. Sign in at headspace.com in a browser.
  2. Open your account menu and go to Subscription.
  3. Choose Cancel Subscription (sometimes labelled Turn off auto-renew).
  4. Answer the short survey, skip the offer, and confirm.

Worth knowing: Most people subscribe to Headspace inside the iPhone app, which means Apple bills it and the website will not show a cancel option. Check iPhone Settings first.

What happens after you cancel

Premium access continues until the end of the period you paid for. Your account and progress are kept on the free tier.

Always confirm it worked. Look for a cancellation email, and re-open the billing page to check the status reads cancelled or "ends on [date]". Then set a calendar reminder for the day after the period ends and check your card statement. A surprising number of cancellations do not take on the first attempt.

Before you cancel: is downgrading better?

Most services have a cheaper tier that people never look at, and several offer a pause instead of a cancellation. If you use Headspace occasionally rather than never, a lower plan or a temporary pause usually beats cancelling and resubscribing at a higher price later.

Not ready to cancel Headspace?
