We offer a 7-day free trial after which we charge about $45 per month. In comparison, seeing an in-person treatment specialist costs about $150-200 per session without insurance, or $25-$50 per session with insurance. Typically, you would see an in-person specialist every week or every other week.

You aren't competing against in person therapy though, you're an app. This is an insane leap of logic.

I wish you luck but I don't see it happening for your at these rates.

Hi there, you're right that we're not competing against in-person therapy and many patients might prefer having an actual specialist to talk to. That being said, our program works for over 80% of our users and we're just as effective as in-person treatment. We're also running a clinical study with Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women's Hospital to prove the efficacy of our program.

We understand that not everyone can afford our program. Please email us at hello@slumber.one if you have difficulty paying for our program and we can find something that works for you!

Thanks! I would’ve liked to see this up front before filling out a really long survey so I could see if it’s something I can budget for after the free trial.
