Detailed Review
Calm sells a global library with an American data controller. 7Mind comes at the same need from Berlin: the imprint names 7Mind GmbH, a wholly owned subsidiary of 7NXT GmbH, and the pricing page promises more than 2,000 meditations and courses.
The site is German-first, with a navigation that covers a price overview, health-insurer pages, a student offer, a coupon redemption page and a business programme next to the consumer app.
Ownership and Where the Data Goes
The imprint lists 7Mind GmbH at Ritterstraße 12 in Berlin, register court Amtsgericht Dortmund, HRB 26916, with Michael Dagenbach and Kurt Ackermann as managing directors. It states that the company is wholly owned by 7NXT GmbH and that the Oakley Capital Origin Fund holds the majority of the 7NXT Group.
The privacy policy is unusually specific about infrastructure. Hosting runs on Amazon Web Services EMEA in Luxembourg and Google Cloud EMEA in Ireland, backend operations sit with Gymondo GmbH in Berlin, and content management uses Storyblok in Austria. Analytics, e-mail and payment tools include several US providers, each listed with its transfer basis.
Pricing and Trial
Two plans are shown on the pricing page. The yearly plan costs 77,99 euro for the first 12-month term and includes a 7-day free trial, after which it can be cancelled monthly. The monthly plan costs 14,99 euro and has no trial. Both include unlimited access to the full library.
Because the yearly price applies only to the first term, check the renewal price in the account before the first year ends.
Fit Against Calm
Calm leans on sleep stories and music. 7Mind's pages stress meditations and courses, with magazine content and expert pages around them, and the site lists a student discount and a coupon route. The pages checked do not describe a sleep-story catalogue, so people who mainly use Calm at bedtime should test that part during the trial.
Limitations to Consider
The review rests on 7Mind's imprint, pricing and privacy pages, not on a hands-on test. Founding year and user numbers are not stated on the pages checked. The yearly price covers only the first term, and the privacy policy lists many US processors for analytics and e-mail.
Who Should Use 7Mind
People who read and speak German and want a Berlin-based company with a courses-first catalogue and a straightforward monthly or yearly plan.
