BetterSleep (formerly Relax Melodies) is a sleep app with sleep sounds, stories, guided meditations and a sleep tracker, per its App Store listing. 2hives is a different kind of product: guided audio sessions written around you, free to listen to.
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.
