A disclosure up front: we make Still, a Christian sleep and prayer app, so Soultime is a competitor of ours. Most Soultime reviews online are written by affiliates who earn a commission on subscriptions. Ours comes from the opposite incentive, and Soultime is worth praising honestly, because it serves a corner of this category that nobody else does as well.
Verdict in one paragraph: Soultime is the mood-first Christian meditation app. Its signature move is a quick emotional check-in that routes you to a matching meditation, backed by a library of more than 500 sessions, sleep stories, an in-app journal, and an audio Bible. It runs about $59.99 a year or $19.99 a quarter after a free trial, and it carries a notable endorsement from the former Archbishop of Canterbury. If you want an app that meets you where your feelings are on any given day, Soultime is a strong fit. If your need is fixed, like falling asleep every night, a sleep-first app serves you more directly.
What Soultime is
Soultime is a Christian meditation and wellbeing app organized around how you feel. Its defining feature is the mood check-in: you tell the app you’re anxious, low, grateful, or restless, and it points you to a meditation built for that state, then tracks your mood over time.
Around that sit more than 500 guided meditations, with a large share focused on anxiety, sleep, stress, and spiritual growth. The app also includes sleep stories, original music, an in-app journal, personality-style assessments, and an AI-narrated audio Bible. It’s a broad wellbeing toolkit with a Christian center of gravity.
Soultime is broadly Christian and ecumenical in tone. It’s recommended by the Church in Wales for clergy wellbeing and endorsed by the former Archbishop of Canterbury, which is unusual credibility for an app this size. It’s English only.
Is Soultime free?
Partly. Soultime offers a 7-day free trial and keeps a free version afterward, but the free tier is limited, with only a small number of meditations available without a subscription. One nice exception: the “Soultime with Friends” feature, which lets you invite up to five people for mutual support and encouragement, is completely free.
So the free version is enough to sample the style and to use the community feature, but not to unlock the library.
How much does Soultime cost?
Soultime runs about $59.99 a year or $19.99 a quarter after the free trial (US pricing, July 2026). The annual plan is the better value if you settle in, working out to around five dollars a month.
That places Soultime in the middle of the category: pricier than Abide at $39.99, similar to a dedicated app’s annual figure, and well below Pray.com at roughly $99.99. Prices change, so confirm the current figure on your App Store listing before subscribing.
Where Soultime is excellent
The mood check-in. For people who don’t know what they need, only that today feels heavy, starting from a feeling beats browsing a library. It’s a thoughtful entry point, done properly.
The breadth of feelings covered. With 500-plus sessions weighted toward anxiety, stress, sleep, and growth, there’s usually something matched to wherever your week has landed you.
The wellbeing extras. The journal, mood tracking, and assessments turn the app into a small emotional-health routine rather than just a meditation player.
The credibility. Endorsement from the former Archbishop of Canterbury and use by the Church in Wales is real, external validation that most apps this size can’t claim.
Where Soultime may not fit you
If your need is fixed, not variable. Mood-matching shines when what you need changes daily. When the need is the same every night, falling asleep, the check-in adds a step rather than saving one.
If sleep is your whole reason. Soultime has sleep stories and they’re decent, but sleep is a section of the library, not its structure. A sleep-first app goes deeper on the wind-down itself and adds a gentle scripture alarm for the morning, which Soultime doesn’t have.
If the free tier matters most. Soultime’s free version is thinner than some. If you want a lot for nothing, another app’s free layer may stretch further.
If you need German or another language. Soultime is English only.
Soultime alternatives worth knowing
A few honest pointers depending on why Soultime isn’t quite right:
- For a larger topical library: Abide offers thousands of situation-based meditations and a big sleep catalog for less per year.
- For scripture read straight through: Dwell is an audio Bible with beautiful narration and reading plans.
- For a short morning devotional: Glorify has a well-made ten-minute flow and a generous free tier.
- For Catholic prayer and liturgy: Hallow has the deepest Catholic library.
- For sleep and scripture first: that’s our lane. Still pairs Bible sleep stories, sleep sounds, and evening prayers with a short daily devotional and a gentle scripture alarm, built around the tired end of the day. See Still vs Soultime or the best Christian sleep apps roundup.
Who should subscribe to Soultime
People whose emotional weather varies a lot and who want an app that meets it, anxiety one day, gratitude the next, grief the week after. Anyone who values mood tracking, journaling, and a wellbeing routine alongside their meditations, and who likes the reassurance of its church endorsements.
Who should pick something else
Sleep-first users, who’ll get more from an app built around falling asleep. Budget-focused users, who may prefer a more usable free tier or Abide’s lower annual price. German speakers, who need native content.
