Do I need the Enlightened Path?

Probably not at first. Five questions a day is already more than most people finish, and the free Sama breathing is the technique you’ll reach for most. The upgrade is for when the daily limit starts getting in your way — usually after the habit has taken hold.

How billing works

The subscription is monthly at $3.99, billed by the App Store or Google Play rather than by us. Cancel it from your device’s subscription settings at any time, and it stays active until the end of the period you’ve paid for. There is no annual plan and no one-time purchase.

Prices are shown in USD. Your store displays the price in your local currency along with any applicable tax.
