BetterHelp doesn't bill insurance, so yeah, the sticker shock is real. That weekly quote can land as ~$260-$400 hitting your card on the 4-week cycle. As of mid-2026 BetterHelp's also rolling out true weekly billing, so check which cadence your account is actually on. Canceling itself is easy, which is rare for this category. But pause it the moment your therapist match isn't clicking - rematching while still paying is just rent. Skip it entirely if you've got insurance with mental health coverage. Your in-network copay will be a fraction of this.

Henry is a subscription telehealth program covering weight management, testosterone therapy, hormone therapy, and ED. It's built around cash-pay compounded medications rather than insurance-billed brand drugs. A provider reviews your intake and decides whether to prescribe, so this is a medical program, not a checkout. What people like is real. Across its largest review base, Henry earns high marks for approachable providers and quick responses. There's also an all-in monthly price that folds visits, medication, and shipping into one fee. But what to know before you commit is just as real. It doesn't take insurance. Prepaid multi-month plans are non-refundable. And cancellation is the sore spot - reviewers describe a cancel button that's sometimes greyed out, a 48-hour-before-billing window, and charges that continued after a cancellation request. That's the sharpest disagreement across its reviews. Here's the billing detail that matters most for a tracker: you're billed monthly, but medication ships in multi-week batches. So a refill you forgot to pause isn't just an expensive charge, it's a stack of medication you may not even use. Track it here and we'll send a heads-up before each renewal and cutoff, so nothing surprises you.
