The Oria take

The one for people who sleep better with sound. Being able to build the mix yourself, rather than picking from fixed tracks, is what makes it different from the meditation apps that bolt sleep audio on the side.

What is BetterSleep?

BetterSleep, formerly Relax Melodies, is built around sound: you layer rain, fans, white noise and instruments into a mix of your own, and it plays as you fall asleep. Around that sit narrated sleep stories, meditations and breathing exercises. The app is free to use, with a good deal of the content behind a subscription.

What it offers

  • Custom sound mixing from a large library of sounds
  • Narrated sleep stories
  • Sleep meditations and breathing exercises
  • Binaural beats and ASMR content

What we like

  • The sound mixing is genuinely better than its rivals
  • Usable free, unlike the big subscription apps
  • Good for shift workers and light sleepers who need masking sound

Things to consider

  • The best content sits behind the Premium plan
  • Sound all night affects phone battery unless it is charging

What it costs

Freemium · free version.

Free to download and use, with much of the content requiring the Premium plan. The Australian price is not published on the site; check in the app store.

Pricing last checked September 2026. Apps change their plans, so check before you subscribe.

Prefer practising with other people?

An app is a good companion between sessions. These are the places in Perth doing the same thing in a room.
