What are the best alternatives to Calm and Headspace?

Popular alternatives include Insight Timer (a large free library of sessions from many teachers), Waking Up (philosophy and Sam Harris’s guided series), Medito (a free, donation-funded nonprofit app), and StillMind (AI guidance generated for your situation, with built-in journaling). The right pick depends on whether you want a big catalogue, one teacher’s approach, a free option, or personalised sessions. Try two and keep the one that fits your routine.
