Hypnozio review: $9.99 at the card screen, $609.87 across the first 364 days

One row per claim or condition tested, with the passage that tests it and the page it was read on.

Three plans, read in US dollars all the way to the payment step on September 10, 2026, through hypnozio.com/checkout-one-pager-2.

• The 4-week plan arrives already selected on the checkout page, so it is the plan most buyers will pay for.
• All three figures are counted across one window, the first 364 days, on the vendor's own renewal terms. On the pre-selected 4-week plan that window is exact: the 28 days the $9.99 buys, plus twelve cycles of 28 days, is 364 days and comes to $609.87. The 1-week trial takes about 13 renewals of $49.99 inside the same 364 days, about $654.86. The 12-week plan charges $18.99 today and then $99.99 on days 84, 168, 252 and 336, which is $418.95. $18.99 plus three renewals of $99.99 is $318.96, and that buys 336 days rather than a year.
• There is no shipping: the product is a digital audio library. On tax, term 2.12 reads "All prices... are inclusive of all tax. However, the prices may be subject to change depending on applicable VAT tax rates". The payment page shows no tax line and no shipping line, only "Total".

The seal on the storefront, verbatim:

"30-day money back guarantee... 100% money-back guarantee to users who have listened to at least 6 hypnotherapy sessions within 30 days of purchase and do not experience any improvement"hypnozio.com/checkout-one-pager-2, read September 10, 2026

Three passages of the Terms of Service, read the same day:

"If you cancel your Online hypnotherapy course Access subscription after the Trial Period, then you will not be eligible for a refund"Terms 8.3, hypnozio.com/terms, read September 10, 2026

"digital content made available to You may not be cancelled and returned... The Provider is not obliged to make any refunds for any cancellations of Services which were delivered"Terms 8.2, hypnozio.com/terms, read September 10, 2026

"the Services may not be refused once they are provided to you"Terms 4.6, hypnozio.com/terms, read September 10, 2026

• The plan that 8.3 excludes from refunds is the one literally named "1-week trial", the $4.99 entry tier.
• For the other two tiers the guarantee survives, with two conditions attached: at least 6 hypnotherapy sessions listened to within 30 days, and the buyer not experiencing "any improvement", a judgement the seller makes.

• The banner on hypnozio.com/checkout-one-pager-2 reads "81% Discount only valid for 00:00:00", and the counter is already at zero in the HTML the server sends.
• The banner on hypnozio.com/checkout-one-pager reads "Up to 75% discount" and "Offer ends in: 00:00:00".
• The discount travels in a URL parameter named disc. Set to 0, to 50, to 81 and to 95 on the same product, the payment step returned a total of $18.99 with a shown discount of "-$81.00" all four times.
• The list price is written into the product code itself: hypnozio-12-week-plan-1899, hypnozio-4-week-plan-999-sub-4999, hypnozio-1-week-plan-499-sub-4999.

The same website publishes a second grid, at hypnozio.com/checkout-one-pager, read the same day in US dollars:

• 2-month plan: listed $76.66, charged $38.33, "Billed every 2 months".
• 4-month plan: listed $92.00, charged $46.00, "Billed every 4 months".
• 6-month plan, marked "Most popular": listed $306.66, charged $76.66, "Billed every 6 months".

Put per month, the longest plan on each grid, at the intro period only: $6.33 a month for the 12-week plan of this route, against $12.78 a month for the 6-month plan of the other. Those two figures are intro-period rates, not ongoing ones. The 12-week plan of this route goes on to renew at $99.99 every 84 days. What the rows on the other grid renew at is not published on that page: they say only "Billed every 2 months", "Billed every 4 months" and "Billed every 6 months", and the phrase "automatically charge" appears zero times on it.

Every item below was verified on September 10, 2026 and counts for the product.

• Independent rating, at volume. Trustpilot showed 3.9 out of 5 across 18,121 reviews: 53% five-star, 21% four-star, 12% three-star, 2% two-star, 12% one-star.
• No flag on that profile. There was no suspended rating, no consumer alert and no incentivised-review notice. The profile is claimed and carries a paid Trustpilot subscription, and Trustpilot records that the company "replied to 100% of negative reviews".
• The delivery is published in numbers. "100+ hypnotherapy sessions to deep dive and rewire your subconscious", and "Every session consists of a 20-minute recording that you can conveniently access on your phone, tablet, or computer." The home page also states "24/7 support".
• The practitioners are named with credentials. Renja Reenpää (ICH trained Clinical Hypnotherapist), Margit Cathrine Moller (Certified Hypnocoach and Master Hypnotist with 25 years' experience), Rachel Moffett, Lena Jenschovar, Maija Haaranen, and Michael A. Kamins (Certified Hypnotherapist and Licensed Therapist).
• Nothing extra is pre-ticked at the payment step. Each payment page carried exactly one selected product input and no add-on, so the subscription itself is the only thing in the cart.
• The operator is named. Term 1.1 identifies "Hypnozio is a trading name operated by a limited company Hypnopulse UAB incorporated under Lithuanian laws, address Ukmergės g. 126, LT-08100 Vilnius, Lithuania", with support at support@hypnozio.com.
• The absent BBB record counts neither way. A search returned "Sorry we didn't find any businesses or charities that match your search" for both Hypnozio and Hypnopulse UAB, which is what a Lithuanian operator with no United States corporate presence looks like.

Who reads this bench

The portraits above are decorative stock photographs. The people shown are models: they are not Hypnozio customers, not the practitioners Hypnozio names, and nothing on this page is a testimonial.

• The seller is an EU company: "Hypnozio is a trading name operated by a limited company Hypnopulse UAB incorporated under Lithuanian laws, address Ukmergės g. 126, LT-08100 Vilnius, Lithuania".
• There is no Impressum. The path hypnozio.com/impressum does not exist, and the German rendering of the site and of the terms does not contain the word anywhere.
• There is no 14-day withdrawal window. The only occurrence of "14 day" in the terms is about notice of a price change, in 3.3.
• Term 8.2 cites "Directive 2011/83/EU" and then has the buyer confirm the opposite of a withdrawal right: "by agreeing to these Terms You confirm that You understand that digital content made available to You may not be cancelled and returned to the Provider."

• Whether the recordings can be downloaded or are streaming only.
• What each plan actually unlocks. All three tiers print the same "All plans include" list and differ only in how long they run.
• How many sessions sit inside each of the 14 courses, or of the 8.
• Any study behind the percentages the site prints. This page does not reprint the site's success-rate figure, its "9 out of 10" line, any of those user counts as a figure about the product, or its promise of first results in one week, because no study, sample, method or date is published anywhere on the domain to support them.

This section is about the method, not about Hypnozio. Every passage below was pulled from the PubMed record on September 10, 2026. None of these papers tested Hypnozio, none of them is funded by it, and none of them appears anywhere on hypnozio.com.

With a therapist in the room, the effect is measured and it is real

Ramondo N, Gignac GE, Pestell CF and Byrne SM, International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis 2021, volume 69 number 2, pages 169 to 202, PMID 33646087, pooled "a total of 48 post- (N = 1,928) and 25 follow-up treatments (N = 1,165)" of cognitive behaviour therapy with hypnosis added against cognitive behaviour therapy alone.

It reports that "CBTH achieved small to medium but statistically significant advantages over CBT at posttreatment (dIGPP/d = .25 to .41), and specifically in the management of depressed mood and pain", and that "At follow-up, there was a medium sized advantage for CBTH (dIGPP/d = .54 to .59), and specifically for the treatment of obesity."

The older result that the industry quotes is Kirsch I, Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology 1996, volume 64 number 3, pages 517 to 519, PMID 8698945.

Verbatim: "Averaged across posttreatment and follow-up assessment periods, the mean weight loss was 6.00 lbs. (2.72 kg) without hypnosis and 11.83 lbs. (5.37 kg) with hypnosis. The mean effect size of this difference was 0.66 SD." That paper is a re-analysis of studies in which hypnosis was added to a cognitive-behavioural weight programme, not to a recording.

When the hypnosis is self-administered, the weight difference stops holding

Bo S and colleagues, Obesity (Silver Spring) 2018, volume 26 number 9, pages 1422 to 1429, PMID 30226009, randomised 120 adults with severe obesity, "the intervention (n = 60) or control arm (n = 60)", and followed them for one year on top of diet, exercise and behavioural advice.

The result: "A similar weight loss was observed in the intervention (-6.5 kg) and control (-5.6 kg) arms (beta = -0.45; 95% CI: -3.78 to 2.88; P = 0.79)." The authors conclude that "Self-hypnosis was not associated with differences in weight change but was associated with improved satiety, QoL, and inflammation. Indeed, habitual hypnosis users showed a greater weight loss."

Delestre F and colleagues, American Journal of Clinical Nutrition 2022, volume 115 number 6, pages 1637 to 1645, PMID 35170724, ran the HYPNODIET trial: 80 adults with obesity analysed, "hypnosis group, n = 41; control group, n = 39", eight sessions with a hypnotherapist plus self-hypnosis training, read out at eight months.

On eating behaviour it is a clear result: "67.7% of adults in the hypnosis group had normalized their disinhibition (compared with 11.1% in control; P < 0.0001)." On weight it is not: "Differences for weight (1.8 kg; 95% CI: -0.1, 3.7 kg; P = 0.052), BMI (0.8; 95% CI: 0.1, 1.4; P = 0.028), susceptibility to hunger score (2.2; 95% CI: 1.0, 3.3; P < 0.001), and its 2 subscales also favored the hypnosis group."

The one trial that tested an audio file against a placebo audio file

Antoun J, El Zouki M and Saadeh M, PeerJ 2022, volume 10, article e14422, PMID 36536625, is the design closest to what Hypnozio sells: "The intervention group listened to a self-hypnosis audio file while the control group listened to a placebo audio file." Forty-six participants completed the three-week follow-up.

"The mean difference in weight at 3 weeks was -0.63 +/- 0.43 kg in the hypnosis group and 0.0 +/- 1.5 kg in the control group, independent t-test, p = 0.148."

The authors' own conclusion: "Self-hypnosis was not associated with a progression in the TTM's stages of change or with weight loss after 3 weeks. As this pilot study was underpowered, further research with larger sample size and an examination of the effect of various self-hypnosis content and duration is recommended."

Where Hypnozio's own percentage sits against all of this

Hypnozio publishes a success-rate percentage on its home page. No study, author, journal, year, sample or method is printed beside it anywhere on the domain, and none of the five papers above produces a figure of that shape.
