Quick answer: a Hallow subscription costs $69.99 per year (about $5.83/month, billed annually) or $9.99 per month in the US, with a Friends & Family plan at $119.99 per year for up to six people. Every paid plan starts with a free trial, and there’s a permanently free version with limited content.
Prices are for the US market, checked against Hallow’s own help center on 21 August 2026. Pricing varies by country and by platform (App Store, Google Play, or hallow.com), and sales tax is added on top — so the number you see at checkout may differ slightly.
Hallow pricing at a glance
| Plan | Price (US) | Works out to |
|---|---|---|
| Individual, annual | $69.99/year | ~$5.83/month, billed once |
| Individual, monthly | $9.99/month | $119.88/year if kept 12 months |
| Friends & Family (up to 6) | $119.99/year | ~$1.67/person/month at full capacity |
| Free version | $0 | Limited but real content |
Hallow also offers a student discount, educator discounts for Catholic school teachers, and parish-wide packages — worth asking about if any of those apply to you.
One trap to avoid: the monthly plan costs about 70% more per year than the annual plan. If you know you’ll use Hallow past two months, annual is the better math.
Is there a free version of Hallow?
Yes, and it’s more generous than most people expect. Without paying anything you get, among other things:
- Bible in a Year with Fr. Mike Schmitz (the app’s most famous content)
- Catechism in a Year with Fr. Mike Schmitz
- Daily Gospel readings, the Daily Rosary, and the Examen
- Daily Mass readings and a rotating set of homilies and sermons, including from Bishop Barron
What sits behind the paywall: most of the sleep content (sleep stories, sleep meditations, celebrity-narrated Bible sleep sessions), music, novenas, most guided meditation series, and the seasonal challenges’ full content. Hallow’s help centre puts the free version at over 1,000 sessions: Bible in a Year, Catechism in a Year, the Daily Gospel, the Daily Rosary. Its App Store listing claims over 10,000 sessions in total. So the free tier is a real product. If your goal is daily Catholic prayer, free holds up. If your goal is falling asleep to scripture, it won’t carry you far.

Is a Hallow subscription worth $69.99 a year?
Honest answer: it depends on what you’re paying for.
If you’re Catholic and want the rosary, novenas, Bible in a Year community, and Lent/Advent challenges in one beautifully produced app, Hallow is the category leader and most subscribers consider it money well spent.
If you’re mainly after Christian sleep content or you’re not Catholic, you’d be paying for a large library you won’t use. The rosaries, saints, and liturgical content are the heart of the app — sleep is a feature, not the center.
Cheaper alternatives to Hallow (2026)
| App | Price (US, approx.) | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Still | $59.99/yr or $12.99/mo (free trial on the App Store) | Christian sleep, prayer & meditation — ecumenical, English + German |

Full disclosure: we make Still, so read that row accordingly. Still is scripture-first across sleep, prayer, and meditation: Bible sleep stories and evening prayers at its heart, a daily devotional every morning, and listening plans like the Psalms in 30 days for the stretches between. If that’s the shape of what you were hoping Hallow would be, try Still free on the App Store.

How does the free trial work? Every paid plan starts with a free trial (Every individual subscription starts with a free trial, but Hallow doesn’t publish a fixed length.
