Pricing

$24.99 a month. Start alone or together.

One price, published here, before you hand over anything. Most people start on their own — your partner's seat is included in the same plan whenever they want it. Your first 7 days are free and don't ask for a card.

The plan — there’s one

$24.99/ month, one plan

Your first 7 days are free — no card. No annual contract, no tiers, and the same price whether one of you uses it or both.

  • Your weekly 45-minute session — on your own, or the two of you together
  • A mid-week check-in, so the week doesn’t swallow what you started
  • Short solo sessions with her, prescribed when they’d help
  • Your partner's seat, included from day one — one person pays, two full accounts, same $24.99
  • Your notebook: one note per session, and the topics that keep coming up

Check-ins have fair-use limits, and we’ll tell you about them long before you reach one. If you ever cancel, your notebook and every session note stay readable — leaving never locks the door on what you wrote.

How starting works

  1. TonightA free intro session, on your own. You bring the one problem that keeps coming back, and it takes about fifteen minutes. No account and no card.
  2. Your first 7 daysFree, whether you keep going on your own or bring your partner in. If you invite them, Elena writes the invitation and they get their own private introduction — and your free week starts over from the day they arrive.
  3. If you continue$24.99 a month, one plan, with your partner's seat included whether or not they ever take it. Cancel in one tap, pause first if you'd rather, and your notes stay yours either way.

Both of you, one subscription

One person pays. Both of you get a full account: your own private check-ins, your own notebook, your own half of the work. Nobody is a guest on somebody else’s plan.

$24.99/mo vs. traditional couples therapy

The comparison people actually make.

Drawn to scale, so the size of the gap is visible.

In person, weekly

$600–$1,200/ month

At $150–$300 a session, once a week. That is before you find someone taking new couples, agree on a time you can both make, and drive there.

Here, weekly

$24.99/ month

4 sessions, both of you, at 9pm on a Tuesday if that’s the only hour you have. The week in between is included: check-ins, and whatever she gave you to practise.

We’re not pretending these are the same thing. A human professional does things an AI coach can’t, and if that’s what you need we’ll say so. What this is: structured couples work, available on the night you need it, at a price two people can agree on without a conversation about money.

Questions

The things everybody asks.

Is the first session really free?

Yes — about 15 minutes with Elena, on your own, with no account and no card at any point. You keep the written note whether or not you come back, and there is no paywall halfway through it. The longer 45-minute session with both of you comes later, and it is included in your free week.

Can I use this on my own?

Yes, and most people start that way. You can keep having sessions, keep your notebook, and subscribe on your own — nothing waits on somebody else saying yes. It is one plan at $24.99 a month either way: your partner's seat is included from the first day, and if they ever join, your free week starts over from the day they arrive. There is no cheaper solo plan because there is no smaller product.

What if my partner won’t come?

Start on your own. Elena writes the invitation herself, in her own words, so it doesn’t arrive as an accusation. If they’re not ready, your account still works on its own: check-ins, kickstart sessions, and help thinking through how to ask. We remind them twice at most, then never again.

Who pays, and what does my partner get?

One person pays, and both of you get a full account: your own private check-ins, your own notebook, your own half of the work. Nobody is a guest on somebody else’s plan — and if your partner never joins, you are not paying for anything you aren’t using. It is the same plan at the same price.

How does the free week work?

Everything is open for 7 days from your first session — on your own or together: sessions, check-ins, the notebook. When a partner joins, the week restarts from that day, so they never arrive with the clock half-spent. No card until you decide to continue.

How do I cancel?

From your account, in one tap, straight away. We offer a 30-day pause first, in case a break is what you actually want — one tap too. There is no chat window and no offer you have to decline three times. And your notebook stays readable after you cancel, always.

Is my coach a person?

No. Elena is an AI coach, and she says so in the first minute. Partners who arrive skeptical usually find that a relief: nobody is being judged by a stranger, and she keeps no favourites.

Is this a replacement for professional help?

No. This is coaching, and it’s not a replacement for therapy or medical care. A human professional does things an AI coach can’t, and if that’s what you need, she’ll say so rather than keep you here.

Everything else people ask — whether AI couples coaching works, what the research does and doesn’t say, when to see a human professional instead — is answered on the questions page.

Billing

No dark patterns.

The angriest reviews in this category are about billing rather than about the coaching. So these are commitments.

One published price

It’s on this page, before you hand over anything. No quote form and no “starting at.”

Cancel in one tap

From your account, straight away, with no chat window in the way. Pausing works the same.

One bill for the couple

One person pays. Both of you get a full account.

Your notes stay yours

Cancelling ends the billing, not your access. The notebook and every session note stay readable after you go.

Payments run on Stripe. We never see your card.

Still deciding

Try it before you decide.

The free session costs nothing and asks for nothing. Decide afterwards, when you’ve seen it.
