Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • The May 28, 2026 women’s course targets an underserved sleep segment with clinical credibility.
  • Google Play updated BetterSleep on June 30, 2026, signaling active product maintenance.
  • The app still sells annual subscriptions up to $69.99, showing monetization remains intact.

What critics are saying

  • Calm and Headspace commoditize meditation, pushing BetterSleep into expensive content marketing by 2026.
  • The app collects sleep recordings and behavioral data, creating privacy and trust backlash risk.
  • If premium churn rises, subscription revenue weakens and BetterSleep becomes another low-retention wellness app.

What makes BetterSleep unique

  • BetterSleep owns a decade-long consumer sleep brand, formerly Relax Melodies, with 55 million downloads.
  • Its app combines soundscapes, sleep tracking, stories, breathwork, and premium subscriptions in one product.
  • On May 28, 2026, BetterSleep launched a women’s sleep course with Dr. Shelby Harris.

BetterSleep launches first women-specific sleep course with Dr Shelby Harris

BetterSleep has launched a Women's Sleep Course, a seven-day guided audio programme developed with board-certified sleep psychologist Dr Shelby Harris. The course addresses how biology, hormones and life stages uniquely affect women's sleep, with nearly 70% of women reporting feeling regularly unrested. The programme covers topics including hormonal shifts, perimenopause, sleep disorders often missed in women, and cognitive overload. Each episode combines clinical expertise with practical strategies, including mindfulness tools and behavioural sleep techniques. The course aims to provide accessible sleep guidance for women who may lack access to specialised care, whilst helping users identify when additional professional support is needed. BetterSleep is a leading sleep wellness platform serving millions of users globally with science-backed content and personalised sleep tools.
