10 Best Headspace Alternatives

1

Headspace

Unlike Headspace, most of Insight Timer’s content is free, meaning you don’t need a premium subscription to start meditating. Additionally, Headspace is geared toward beginner meditators, with a 30-minute limit on most sessions. Insight Timer is ideal for practitioners of all levels, from beginner to advanced. Meditation practices range from five-minute introductory sessions to hour-long visualization and manifestation sessions.
