How we match
We score products on fit only — commission does not affect ranking.
What we ask
- Goal (therapy, calm, sleep, skills, relationships, learning, support)
- Timeline & urgency (crisis → 988, not affiliates)
- Budget & insurance
- Introvert / extrovert social energy
- Preferred format (live, text, solo app, reading, journaling)
- Time per day, skepticism of marketing, past experience
- Age, couples vs solo, region
How we score
Each product gets points when your answers match its profile (budget band, modality, insurance fit, etc.). The highest score wins. We show why the popular alternative might be wrong for you.
Disclosure
We earn affiliate commissions on some recommendations. Free and nonprofit options (Open Path, Smiling Mind) appear when they're the honest best fit.
