Our verdict on Aura
Aura brings guided mindfulness, sleep tracks and stories, breathing exercises, music, CBT, hypnosis and coaching into one meditation and mental wellness app. It is aimed at people looking for support with sleep, stress, focus and everyday wellbeing, rather than a narrowly focused meditation timer. The library can be browsed by topic and duration, while personalized recommendations, mood tracking and gratitude reflections add ways to shape and reflect on a routine. Aura is available on web, iOS and Android, with Apple Health integration listed.
The free plan offers limited access on mobile; Premium is the route to unlimited access to mindfulness meditations, stories, CBT, hypnosis and coaching tracks, plus downloads for offline listening. According to the published plans, Annual Individual Premium costs $69.99 per year. Annual Family Premium costs $129.99 per year and adds sharing with family members in the same household. A 7-day free trial is listed. These tiers make the choice straightforward: individual access for one person, or a higher annual price for household sharing. The library's breadth is the main reason to consider paying, especially if sleep and non-meditation formats matter alongside guided sessions.
Aura's range is also its trade-off: people who want a focused meditation practice or only occasional free mobile content may find the paid library broader than they need. Downloads are a Premium feature, so offline listening depends on a paid plan. The app supports cloud and mobile deployment, and lists email and documentation as support channels rather than 24/7 support. Choose Aura if having meditation, sleep, breathwork and other wellbeing content in one place is useful; consider a simpler alternative if you want only a basic meditation tool or do not need the expanded library.
