How to Cancel Headspace: Complete Guide
What is Headspace
Headspace is a subscription-based meditation and mental wellness service offering guided meditations, sleep content, mindful movement and short educational pieces. It is delivered primarily through a mobile app and web access and is sold as monthly or annual memberships, with some discounted rates for students, families and occasional promotional pricing. The service also offers specialised products such as therapy or coaching components that may carry separate fees.
The official terms describe free trials that convert automatically to paid subscriptions, monthly and annual auto-renewing billing periods, and different purchase routes (direct, app marketplaces or benefit sponsors) that affect how a subscription is charged and how refunds are handled.
Sources: Headspace subscription pages and terms provide plan structure and purchase-route detail.
Key subscription rules for Headspace
What matters most when you evaluate cancellations are the contract rules that govern renewal, access and refunds. Headspace treats monthly periods as 30 days and annual periods as 365 days for billing calculations.
The terms state that free trials convert automatically to paid subscriptions and that subscriptions renew unless cancelled; cancellation is effective at the end of the current billing period for monthly and annual plans. The terms also make clear that there are generally no refunds for partial subscription terms.
How you bought Headspace changes what rules apply. Purchases made through third-party app marketplaces or benefit sponsors may be subject to those third parties' payment and refund policies rather than Headspace’s direct refund practices.

| Plan | Typical AU pricing | Notes |
|---|---|---|

| Annual membership | A$69.99 (typical) | Best-value offer in many promotions; billed once per year. |

Purchase route comparison and refund implications
| Purchase route | Common refund implication |
|---|---|
| Direct (billed by Headspace) | Subject to Headspace terms; refunds and prorations governed by Headspace policies (terms state no refunds for partial subscription terms, except in limited circumstances such as if Headspace cancels your access). |
| App marketplace (third-party) | Subject to the app marketplace payment policy; marketplace sale final policies often limit refunds and Headspace defers to the marketplace rules. |
| Benefit sponsor or bundled access | Sponsor terms and management rules may control access and renewal; refunds or account changes may be handled by the sponsor. |

Customer experience with cancellation
What users report
Public feedback collected from review platforms and discussion forums shows a range of experiences. Many users report straightforward renewals and normal access until the end of the paid period, while others report difficulty obtaining refunds or confusion around automatic renewals after a free trial. Complaints frequently centre on rebilling after an attempted cancellation and on the time taken to resolve billing disputes.
A number of users describe having to persist with the provider or their bank to recover charges, and some forum threads show successful refunds after escalation. These experiences suggest outcomes vary by purchase route, timing and how quickly a dispute is raised.
Sources: Forum posts and consumer reviews summarised to reflect common patterns of praise and complaint.
Recurring issues and practical takeaways
Based on user reports and the written terms, these are recurring themes with practical implications for consumers:
- Timing matters: refunds are less likely after a subscription has already renewed for a new period. Initiate a dispute soon after an unexpected charge.
- Purchase route determines policy: app-marketplace purchases frequently cannot be refunded by the service provider and are subject to the marketplace’s rules.
- Keep invoices: being able to show the exact charge, date and payment method materially improves your position when asking for a refund or disputing a payment.
- Escalation may be needed: persistence, clear documentation and asking a payment provider to investigate unlawful or unauthorised payments are common next steps reported by consumers who did not get an immediate refund.

How cancellations typically affect access and charges
Cancellation does not always mean immediate loss of access. Headspace’s terms indicate cancellation becomes effective at the end of the paid billing period for monthly and annual plans. As a result, cancelling before renewal will commonly prevent the following period from billing while preserving access until the current term ends.
Headspace’s terms also state that refunds cannot be claimed for any partial subscription term in most circumstances. There are exceptions in the terms for certain company-initiated cancellations where a pro rata refund may be offered.

Documentation checklist
- Invoice or receipt: transaction date, amount and merchant descriptor as it appears on your bank or card statement.
- Start and renewal dates: dates for the free trial start, paid start and any automatic renewal dates.
- Payment method details: last four digits of the card or the account used for the charge.
- Screenshots: record pages showing subscription status or plan name as evidence of what you subscribed to.
- Correspondence log: dates and terse notes of any contact attempts or responses from the company and/or payment provider (no need to include full messages here; record dates and outcomes).
Common pitfalls and mistakes to avoid
- Assuming cancellation equals refund: cancellation often prevents renewal but does not guarantee a refund for already billed periods.
- Waiting too long to act: disputing charges long after billing reduces remedies available from banks or merchants.
- Overlooking the purchase route: failing to recognise whether a charge came via an app marketplace, a direct merchant or a sponsor can delay effective escalation.
- Poor documentation: lacking a clear invoice, date or payment method will make it harder to prove an unauthorised or mistaken charge.

Short note on consumer rights relevant to Headspace
Under consumer protection laws, there are rules that can apply to unfair contract terms or misleading conduct. For digital subscriptions, remedies depend on the facts: whether the service was supplied as described, whether a promise was broken and the purchase route used. For Headspace, contractual terms set out no-refund positions for partial periods, but legal protections may still apply for specific defects or misleading representations.
In practice, any legal claim will consider the contract text, your evidence and the applicable law for where the contract is governed. Consult an adviser for a legal assessment of a complex or high-value dispute.

Practical options for disputing a charge
The practical choices available to a consumer usually follow a pattern: collect documentation, check the purchase route and terms, and then raise the dispute through the party that accepted payment. If a direct refund is not forthcoming, many consumers report pursuing a payment provider dispute for unauthorised or incorrect charges. Escalation to an ombudsman or consumer protection agency may be appropriate where statutory rights or misleading conduct are alleged.
Keep records of timelines and the precise amounts claimed. Time limits apply to bank disputes and formal complaints, so act promptly after an unexpected charge.

What to do after cancelling Headspace
After you cancel, monitor bank and card statements for the next billing date and keep the documentation checklist accessible. If you are billed unexpectedly after cancellation, compile the evidence and be prepared to explain the purchase route and dates when you raise the issue with the payment-handling party.
If a refund is warranted but not issued, consider escalation channels available to you for payment disputes or consumer complaints. Keep communications factual, concise and focused on the specific charge and the remedy you seek.
Finally, record the date you expect access to end and set a calendar reminder to confirm that no further renewals occur after that date. This creates a neat trail of dates that supports any later dispute.
