⏰ 2-3 minutes medium Last Updated: 2026-05-22 $12.99/mo Reviewed by Bill Vampire Editorial Team

Headspace cancellation depends on where you subscribed — Apple, Google, or directly through Headspace. You keep access to some free content (basics course) after canceling.

Official account or cancellation path: Headspace

Determine where you subscribed

Check your billing: Apple subscription shows in iOS Settings → Subscriptions. Google shows in Play Store → Subscriptions. If neither, you subscribed on headspace.com directly.

Most mobile users subscribed through Apple or Google, even if they don't remember doing so.

Cancel through the correct platform

For Apple: Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions → Headspace → Cancel. For Google: Play Store → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions → Headspace → Cancel. For web: headspace.com/settings/subscription → Cancel.

Confirm cancellation

Tap "Confirm" or "Cancel subscription" on the confirmation dialog. Your Premium access continues until the end of your billing period.

Verify cancellation

Check for a confirmation email or verify in your subscription settings that the renewal is turned off. Your next billing date should show as the end date.

After cancellation, Headspace's free tier still offers a limited Basics course and some sleep content.

⚠️ Watch out

✓ Refund may be possible

Refunds depend on your billing platform. Apple: reportaproblem.apple.com. Google: Play Store refund request. Direct: contact Headspace support within a few days of charge.
