Premium Annual. Correction 2026-09-11: The annual discount of 51% moved off "Premium Annual" onto "Premium Monthly". "Premium Annual" records $5.83/mo, which is its own note's $69.99 yearly total over 12 months — the annual price, with the saving already in it. The page prints the percentage as a discount off the figure in the same row, so the pair offered a reader $2.86/mo, a rate the vendor does not publish. The note names $11.99/mo month-to-month and "Premium Monthly" records exactly that, so the saving is true of that row and now sits there. No price moved on either row.

This standing as a plaque
Balance currently holds a bronze deskmark here — Rank 7 of 7 · Meditation Apps. Anyone may show it. There is nothing to apply for, nothing to pay, and displaying it changes no score: the standing comes from the published algorithm, which never reads commission data. We never ask anyone to show it, and its link carries rel="nofollow".
The image is drawn from our live data, so it follows the standing rather than freezing it: if Balance moves up or down a tier, the plaque on your own site says so at our next publish. Nothing is tracked beyond the ordinary web-server log that records any image request.
