Pzizz review

Pzizz is the least demanding app in this list. You pick a wake-up time, press play, and it builds a dreamscape, a blend of music, voiceover and sound effects that the company says is designed from clinical research, to quiet your mind, keep you asleep and wake you gently. You can change the narration genre and soundscape, but there is no diary, schedule or homework, which suits people who find CBT-I programs too demanding. A Nap module offers short guided naps with their own narrations, and a Focus module plays focuscapes with a built-in cooldown for work sessions. Pzizz offers a free Classic version, and the Pro tier comes with a 7-day free trial, auto-renewing plans and a financial assistance program for people who cannot afford it. Pzizz does not publish Pro prices on its website, so check the app store. It has no tracking and does not treat the causes of insomnia.
