How to Redeem a Gift Card on Breethe (and How It Compares to Calm & Headspace)

Got a gift card for a meditation app and not sure what to do next? Whether you’re new to Breethe or comparing top apps like Calm and Headspace, this guide walks you through redeeming your gift—step by step.

Then we’ll show you how the experience differs across apps and why Breethe’s approach pairs speed with a friendly, real-life wellness vibe.

Let’s define what a meditation app gift card actually does

A meditation app gift card is a prepaid way to unlock premium features—guided meditations, sleep stories, hypnotherapy, music, and more—without entering payment details for a recurring plan right away. It’s popular for gifting because the recipient can activate it when they’re ready, often starting a fixed period of premium access (for example, a year) on the date of redemption rather than the date of purchase. That flexibility makes gift cards useful both as presents and as “try-before-committing” options for you or someone you love.

On Breethe, gifts are specifically framed as access to Breethe Premium—the full library designed to fit into everyday life with practical, expert-made content. Breethe

Here’s how you can redeem a gift card on Breethe

Short answer:

1. Open your Breethe gift email and click Redeem.
2. Sign in or create a Breethe account.
3. Your premium access activates on that account—open the app and enjoy.
   
   

Step-by-step walkthrough

1. Find your gift email.
   If someone purchased Breethe Premium as a gift for you, you’ll receive an email with a Redeem or Get Started button. (Breethe sells gift memberships on its site; recipients activate via their own account.) Breethe
   
   
2. Click the Redeem button.
   This opens a secure Breethe page in your browser. If you’re not signed in, you’ll be prompted to log in or create a Breethe account with your email address.
   
   
3. Confirm activation.
   After you confirm, Premium unlocks on your account. Open the Breethe app and sign in with the same email address to see the full library—meditations, sleep stories, music, hypnotherapy, and more. Breethe
   
   
4. Need help?
   If anything looks off (for example, you don’t see Premium unlocked after redemption), reach Breethe Support directly at support@breethe.com—this email is published in Breethe’s official store listings for account help. Google Play
   
   

Pro tip: After redeeming in your browser, always open the Breethe app and log in with the same account so your premium access syncs across devices. (You’ll see the “locked” icons disappear and full series become available.) Breethe

What makes Breethe’s process different from Calm and Headspace?

All three apps let you redeem via the web and then use the app with the same account, but there are meaningful differences—especially around existing subscriptions and the exact redemption flow.

• Breethe uses a straightforward gift-email redemption flow tied to your Breethe account, similar to how many digital services handle gift memberships. Gifts are sold on Breethe’s site and unlock Breethe Premium when activated on your account. Breethe
  
  
• Calm has a dedicated web redemption page and explicit guidance on what happens if you already have an active subscription. Calm’s help center notes: 1-year gift cards can’t be redeemed while an active subscription is in place, but lifetime gift cards can be redeemed at any time. They also advise turning off auto-renew to avoid extra charges. Calm Help Center
  
  
• Headspace offers two common paths: a gift email with a Redeem button and a general “Redeem a Code” page at headspace.com/code for promotional or gift codes. The gift-email route is the primary flow for Headspace gifts. Headspace
  
  

Quick comparison at a glance

Are there any common issues or questions about redeeming gift cards?

Absolutely. Here are the answers most people need, fast.

1) “My code or link isn’t working—now what?”

• Breethe: Double-check you’re signed into the same email where you’ll use the app. If Premium doesn’t unlock after redemption, contact support@breethe.com with your account email and the gift details. Google Play
  
  
• Calm: Redeem on the web, not inside the app. If you get an error message, Calm’s help article links to troubleshooting and error-resolution steps. Calm Help Center
  
  
• Headspace: If your gift email’s button fails, use headspace.com/code and their help center for next steps. Headspace
  
  

2) “I already have a subscription—can I stack a gift on top?”

• Breethe: It’s best to contact Breethe Support to review your current billing setup (web, Apple, or Google Play) and the most seamless way to apply your gift. Different app-store rules can affect timing. Google Play
  
  
• Calm: Calm states you cannot redeem a 1-year gift while an active subscription is present; you can redeem a lifetime gift at any time (and they recommend turning off auto-renew so you aren’t charged in the meantime). Calm Help Center
  
  
• Headspace: Gifts typically activate through the gift email or code page and then apply to your account; check their help guidance or contact support if you’re billed by Apple/Google, as app-store rules sometimes require waiting for the current term to end. Headspace Help Center
  
  

3) “Do gift codes expire?”

• Calm explicitly says Calm gift codes do not expire; the term begins when you redeem, not when purchased. Calm Help Center
  
  
• Headspace & Breethe: Follow the instructions in your gift email and redeem promptly; if you’re unsure about timing or terms, reach out to their support teams or the purchaser’s confirmation email for details. Headspace Help Center
  
  

4) “Who do I contact for help?”

• Breethe: support@breethe.com (include the email tied to your account and any gift details). Google Play
  
  
• Calm: Calm Help Center → “How to Redeem a Calm Gift Card.” Calm Help Center
  
  
• Headspace: Headspace Help Center → “I’ve been gifted Headspace.” Headspace Help Center
