Verbatim response from Perplexity
Online therapy usually costs about $200–$400 per month if you pay out of pocket, with many subscription platforms clustering around $240–$360/month for weekly or messaging-based care.[2][5][10][11] Some services are cheaper with insurance or financial aid, and out-of-pocket costs can drop to roughly $40–$200/month depending on your plan.[2][13][15]
Typical pricing patterns are:
- Subscription plans: about $240–$400/month for weekly sessions plus messaging, especially on platforms like BetterHelp and Talkspace.[4][5][10][15]
- Per-session pricing: about $60–$100 per session, which works out to roughly $240–$400/month if you meet weekly.[2][3][13]
- With insurance: copays can be much lower, sometimes around $20–$30 per visit or even $0 on some employer/insurance plans.[13][17]
