Headspace is a mental health and mindfulness app founded in 2010 by Andy Puddicombe and Richard Pierson, built around the goal of making meditation and mental health support accessible through a mobile and web app. It is headquartered in Santa Monica, California.
Over time Headspace has expanded from a meditation app into a broader mental health platform, adding sleep tools, coaching, and online therapy, and in 2021 it merged with the behavioral health company Ginger to form Headspace Health, which also serves employers and health plans directly.
The core of the app is its library of more than 1,000 guided meditation and mindfulness exercises, covering areas like stress, focus, and emotional regulation, alongside sleep-focused content such as wind-downs, soundscapes, and sleepcasts. Headspace also includes an AI companion called Ebb that recommends content based on a user's stated mood and goals.
Beyond self-guided content, Headspace offers mental health coaching and online therapy for users who want more personalized support, plus specialized collections like Mindful Families for parents and Mental Strength Training for high-pressure situations. On the enterprise side, Headspace sells mental health benefits packages designed to replace or supplement traditional Employee Assistance Programs for organizations.
Headspace is subscription-based, with a monthly plan at $12.99/month and an annual plan at $69.99/year (equivalent to about $5.83/month). New subscribers can access a 7-day free trial on the monthly plan or a 14-day free trial on the annual plan before being charged.
Headspace also offers discounted student plans and family plans, and periodically runs promotions such as reduced first-year pricing on the annual plan; renewals then revert to the standard price. Mental health coaching can be added on top of a base subscription, and HSA/FSA payment is accepted for eligible users.
