BetterHelp

Best for someone who wants a licensed therapist this week, can use insurance, and will check the first bill after canceling.

BetterHelp gets a licensed therapist quickly and lets you switch without starting over. It hides its price behind eight screens of health questions, carries a 2023 FTC order over sharing mental-health data with advertisers, and one complaint theme repeats above the rest: billing after cancellation.

From $70 to $100/week without insurance; BetterHelp reports an average $23 copay per session with eligible insurance

How we review

Every score is the average of a published metric breakdown, and every review names its criteria and the month it was evaluated. Partners never see a review before it publishes.
