I've been using them on and off for a while and I have found the focus mode quite good. If anything sometimes it's too good, I almost feel wired like when I've drank too much coffee, but it has helped me when I need to get stuck into something that I'm procrastinating on. When I was travelling last year I used the nap / sleep mode a bit and I found it did help if I was finding it hard to sleep. Of course this is totally subjective so your mileage may vary.

Worth the price in your mind?

  It's hard to say if it was worth the price. I purchased a lifetime subscription a while back at a discounted rate. I'm not sure if this a product that I would pay for monthly perpetually though. Brain.fm does "work" in that it definitely has helped me focus, but I think one could craft a Spotify playlist manually with some effort in order to achieve a similar effect.

    I think the key words here are "with some effort". Ultimately anything is potentially worth the price depending on the amount of effort a person is willing to dedicate to solving something vs having it "solved" for them.

I use them a coupla' times a week and find the focus mode quite good. Wish I had thought to listen to sleep mode last night between 3 and 6 AM while I was tossing and turning in bed. As someone mentioned below, I could put together a Spotify list but why? Brain.fm does the job and I don't need to. When I need to focus, my two choices are Brain.fm or "Ok, Google. Play some downtempo ambient chill instrumental". The latter oftentimes distracts me. The former doesn't. I was having some technical difficulties with the site (not the apps) a while back. The head of the company was helping me to debug the problem. Great customer service. Turned out it was something on my end. I too landed the lifetime subscription. Highly recommended!
