Where Insight Timer wins

  • Size. Nothing we make will ever match 300,000 free practices.
  • Voices. It’s audio and video, so someone talks you through it.
  • Offline listening on MemberPlus, for flights and bedtime.

Where Chakra Babe wins

  • A start and a finish: The 7-Day Chakra Challenge takes you root to crown in a week, then each course is a clear set of lessons.
  • Breath counts and timings are exact, with a pacer, so you aren’t guessing what “breathe deeply” means.
  • Pay once for a course you keep, instead of a subscription. $27 is less than half a year of MemberPlus.

Who should pick which

Pick Insight Timer if you want free guided audio, lots of variety, and you like finding your own teacher. Pick Chakra Babe if choice overload is the problem and you want someone to say: today, the root chakra, ten minutes, here’s exactly how.

FAQ

Is Chakra Babe free like Insight Timer?
The 7-Day Chakra Challenge, every guide, the chakra test and the Glow Meter are free with an account. The four deeper courses are paid, once each.
Does Chakra Babe have guided audio?
Not yet. Lessons are written steps with a breath pacer and a practice timer that chimes. If you want a voice guiding you, Insight Timer is better for that today.
