Detailed Review
Namatata describes its approach as modern and positive meditation. Its home page lets users pick a programme by goal and offers a free programme of seven meditation sessions before any subscription.
The operator is NAMATATA SAS, a simplified joint-stock company with 250,000 euro of share capital and its head office in Garches, west of Paris.
Session Formats
The home page separates express sessions, meant for short listening, from classic sessions that rely on silent meditation. A third format, dynamic sessions, is matched to whatever the user is doing at that moment. Progress can be followed alone or against friends.
That mix suits people who find a 20-minute guided track hard to fit in and want something shorter.
Prices in Euros
The terms page publishes tax-inclusive prices: 79 euro for a one-year plan bought on the website in a single payment, and 38.99 euro for a 6-month plan in the Android and iOS stores. A yearly price per month of about 6.59 euro is quoted next to the website price.
No monthly plan is listed in the terms, so confirm current options in the store before subscribing.
Company and Hosting
The terms name OVH SAS in Roubaix as host and NAMATATA SAS as operator, with Antoine Gerlier as publication manager. The Paris register number is shown as a placeholder in the text, so the registration should be confirmed in the French company register before a contract. The terms do not list the languages of the app.
Limitations to Consider
The review rests on the vendor's home page and terms, not on a hands-on test. The commercial register number appears as a placeholder in the terms, ownership is not stated, and the languages and library size are not given.
