The short answer
HEADSPACE* SUB represents a monthly ($12.99) or annual ($69.99) subscription for guided meditation, sleep casts, and focus music on Headspace.
Understanding your Headspace charge
A billing line displaying HEADSPACE* SUB reflects a recurring charge from Headspace Inc. for its Headspace Meditation Subscription. Headspace is a digital wellness platform delivering guided meditation sessions, sleep casts, and focus audio. When you see this descriptor on your bank or credit card statement, it indicates that an account was created directly on the Headspace website rather than through third-party platforms like Apple Subscriptions or Google Play.
This charge most commonly appears after an introductory free trial converts into a paid membership, or when an ongoing subscription automatically renews. Headspace typically bills either $12.99 on a monthly cycle or $69.99 for an annual membership. Because annual renewals occur only once every twelve months, the sudden charge often surprises cardholders who forgot an active trial or membership was in place. Similar to mindfulness services like Calm or Waking Up, the platform requires manual cancellation before the billing date to prevent recurring deductions.
To review or cancel your membership, sign in to your account at headspace.com, navigate to your profile settings, and turn off auto-renewal under the subscription tab. For annual charges billed directly through their website, Headspace offers a 30-day refund window if you contact their support team promptly after the renewal posts. If you do not have a Headspace account and suspect your payment details were used fraudulently, submit a support ticket at help.headspace.com and contact your bank to dispute the unauthorized transaction.
