People with a limited budget don't use it, which makes the service less useful.

Correction: It’s not valuable enough for people on a limited budget.
A service you can't use is useless to you. So a service fewer people can use is less useful.

Even if everyone prioritized the service above other things, the things they forego become useless to them – a side effect attributable to charging money.

The benefit they could derive is perhaps the same. However, they cannot prioritize it the same way as others with a higher budget.
Those in bad mental health benefit from meditation more than others and poorer people tend to be in worse mental health. So those with a limited budget actually derive more benefit.
