A Medito alternative: 2hives, compared
2hives is an independent product of 2BEE FARM PTY LTD. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to any company or product named on this page. Names belong to their owners and are used only to say which product a fact is about.
Medito (Medito Stichting) is a non-profit meditation app that its listing describes as 100% free, with courses, sleep stories and soundscapes. Both are free to listen to; they differ in how sessions are made.
2hives is free for good: no trial, nothing to cancel, no payment card.
2hives sessions are spoken by synthetic (text-to-speech) voices, not human narrators.

- Listening on 2hives is free for good: there is no subscription for listeners. Some sessions are followed by a clearly labelled card from a local sponsor.
- Sessions are written around the listener: you describe what you want in your own words, and the script is written for you. The voice can say your name.
- A sample plays in one tap without an account or an email address. A free account lets you play full sessions.
- Audio in the languages live on 2hives today: English, Spanish, Portuguese (Brazil), French, Italian and Japanese. Hindi, Korean and Hungarian are in beta.
- Sessions you own can be saved for offline use in the web app, which you can install to your home screen.
Medito is free as well, and has a native app with an offline mode, so price is not a reason to choose 2hives over it.
2hives is a web app with a synthetic voice, a smaller catalogue and no iPhone app. Medito is stronger wherever those matter most to you; the lists above say where.
