Medito
Guided meditation and sleep content without a content subscription.
Keep in mind: No account required does not mean no app telemetry.
Medito vs Insight Timer
Both can be a place to sit and listen. They part ways on whether a membership is required for the library you want.

A library without a content fee
Medito’s site, read on 27 October 2026, describes the app as free, with no account, no trial and no paid content tier. It says there is no unlock fee. Donations are separate from access. A free app can still collect usage data; this comparison did not re-audit the privacy policy already summarised on the Medito profile.
A broad catalogue, with an optional membership
Insight Timer’s help article, updated 21 October 2026 and read on 27 October, lists MemberPlus at $59.99 USD a year or $9.99 a month. The article says the charge goes through the app store and that prices vary by location. MemberPlus is described as extra courses, premium tracks and offline listening, not as the only way to use the app.
Insight Timer
A substantial free library, timer and optional paid membership.
Keep in mind: Teacher-led content varies in approach; a large catalogue can take time to navigate.

Prices and service access vary by country and channel. Changing the price region does not create a verified local quote.
Free does not mean identical.
Medito is a smaller nonprofit program. Insight Timer is a large teacher library with a free layer and a paid layer. A monthly equivalent of the annual MemberPlus price is not itself a monthly plan. A US dollar figure is not a quote for another country.
There is no universal winner.
Choose Medito if you want meditation and sleep audio without a content subscription. Choose Insight Timer if you want many teachers and might pay for courses or offline listening. Neither consumer library is emergency care or a substitute for treatment.
Try the same small task
Play one short session in each app and notice the voice, the amount of instruction, and how hard it is to choose the next session. If offline listening matters, check whether that control sits behind MemberPlus before you rely on it. Samples and paid access can differ by store and country.
