What content will be available on Spotify? What’s the difference between Calm content on Spotify and on the Calm app?

A wide selection of Calm’s Sleep Stories, meditations and mindfulness tools on Spotify are available through a variety of unique shows. We offer a large selection of free content to encourage sampling across our main content categories, though any Calm content marked with a lock icon will require a Calm subscription to gain access.

By downloading the Calm app, users can access Calm’s full range of premium content, features, and benefits, including 50,000+ hours of unique content, interactive tools like our Breathe Bubbles, personalized recommendations plus motivating features like reminders and streaks to help you maintain your progress.

I can’t find certain pieces of content on Spotify that are available on the Calm app

For access to Calm’s entire content library, you’ll need to download the Calm mobile app or visit calm.com/app, while having an active Calm Premium subscription. 

I’ve linked Calm to my Spotify account but my content is still locked

The first thing to do is make sure you are signed in to your Calm account using the same login credentials you used to activate your Calm account.

  1. Start by unlinking Calm from Spotify. For more information on how to unlink Calm, visit: https://support.spotify.com/us/article/unlinking-from-third-party-creators/
  2. In the Calm app, tap Profile in the bottom right corner, select Settings in the upper left corner, and swipe up to confirm what email was used to create your account on the bottom of the screen.
  3. Once you’ve confirmed you’ve located the account associated with your Calm Premium subscription, select a locked piece of content by navigating to Calm content by searching for Calm in the search bar and filtering by “podcasts & shows”.

If you have any further trouble accessing Calm's Premium content, please write to us here and provide a screenshot of the locked content as well as the confirmation page showing you purchased a Calm Premium subscription, along with the email address on your Calm account.

Will the Spotify offering be available to Calm Business users?

Any subscriber to Calm Premium, whether they subscribe as an individual or via their employee benefits, can link their account on Spotify and listen to all the content available on that app. 

Can I link my Calm account with more than one Spotify account?

No, Calm subscribers can only link their Calm account to a single Spotify account.
