How to Cancel Ten Percent Happier in 2026

Last updated: February 2026 • Difficulty: Easy • Cost: $23.99/mo or $109.99/yr

Quick answer: If you subscribed through the app, cancel via iPhone Settings → Subscriptions → Ten Percent Happier → Cancel. For web subscriptions, go to your account settings at tenpercent.com and cancel from the billing section.

The Price Problem

At $23.99/month, Ten Percent Happier is the most expensive mainstream meditation app. That's nearly double Headspace ($12.99) and Calm ($14.99), and 2.4x the cost of Insight Timer Premium ($9.99). Over a year, you're spending $288 on guided meditation — more than many gym memberships.

The annual plan at $109.99/year ($9.17/mo) is much more reasonable, but still above average.

What Makes Ten Percent Happier Different

Founded by ABC News anchor Dan Harris after he had a panic attack on live television, the app is designed for skeptics and people who think meditation is "woo-woo." The teaching style is more journalistic — evidence-based, conversational, and grounded. If you liked the approach but not the price, Dan Harris's podcast (free) covers much of the same territory.
