Pricing
Choose Like Buddha is free to download and free to use. There are no ads on either plan, and you don’t need an account to start. The optional Enlightened Path raises the daily limits and unlocks the three deeper breathing techniques. You never need it to build the habit.
| What differs | Free Path Free | Enlightened Path Paid |
|---|---|---|
| Ask Buddha questions | 2 per day | 20 per day |
| Ask Buddha answers you keep | Last 7 | Every one |
| Breathing techniques | Sama (Box) only | All four |
In both plans
- The full daily practice across all five concepts
- Patterns, reflections, streaks and 27 badges
- Apple Health and Health Connect sync for breathing sessions
- No ads, ever
- No account required
Do I need the Enlightened Path?
Probably not at first. The daily practice is identical on both plans, two Ask Buddha questions a day covers most days, and the free Sama breathing is the technique you’ll reach for most. The Enlightened Path is for the weeks when two questions aren’t enough, and for keeping every answer you’ve been given instead of the last seven.
If you choose it: monthly or yearly
Both billing options unlock the same Enlightened Path.
Monthly
Billed every month.
$3.99 a month in the US
Yearly Save 16%
Billed once a year, about $3.33 a month.
$39.99 a year in the US
Yearly costs 16% less than twelve monthly payments ($47.88) in the US. Other countries are priced locally, so the saving there can differ.
How billing works
The App Store or Google Play bills you, not us. Cancel from your device’s subscription settings at any time, and the Enlightened Path stays active until the end of the period you’ve paid for. Refunds are handled by Apple or Google under their own policies. There is no one-time purchase.
Outside the US, Apple and Google set the price in your local currency, including local taxes, so it can be higher or lower than the prices above. Your store shows your exact price before you confirm.
