Tips & Things to Watch For
Annual subscription price not disclosed on pricing page
CriticalThe pricing page states 'After your free trial, the annual subscription is null USD' - the actual price is not displayed in the scraped content. This is a red flag dark pattern where users may commit to a trial without knowing the real cost. Always check your confirmation email or account page for actual pricing before the trial ends.
HSA/FSA eligible - use pre-tax dollars
Pro TipThe homepage prominently displays 'HSA/FSA eligible: save with pre-tax dollars.' You can potentially pay for Headspace subscriptions using Health Savings Account or Flexible Spending Account funds, offering tax savings. Check with your HSA/FSA administrator for reimbursement procedures.
Student pricing available with verification
Pro TipHeadspace offers student pricing accessible through 'View Student Pricing' link. The privacy policy mentions third-party verification platforms that access your personal information to confirm eligibility. Verification failures or 'abnormal responses' may result in denial. Have your student ID number ready as mentioned in their data collection practices.
