Pragma · iPhone and Android
Couples therapy app for iPhone: licensed therapy, self-guided apps or daily coaching.
A couples therapy app for iPhone is one of three kinds. Licensed teletherapy, such as Regain, connects you with a licensed therapist by message, video or phone. Self-guided apps give you questions or courses. Daily AI coaching, such as Pragma, gives each partner a short session a night. Pragma is a coach, not a therapist, and does not diagnose or treat.

01 · Inside Pragma
Which kind of couples app on iPhone fits the two of you?
Pick by what you need, not by store ratings.
- Choose licensed teletherapy if you want a licensed therapist, together or individually, and can keep regular sessions.
- Choose a self-guided app if you want low-cost questions or lessons to open together.
- Choose daily AI coaching if you are okay but drifting, priced out of weekly sessions, or starting alone.
If two rules fit, many couples pair a licensed professional with a daily practice. Our comparison of an AI app and professional couples counseling goes deeper.

Examples of each kind of couples app on iPhone
We read each page on 11 October 2026.
| Kind | Example | What it asks of you | Price on its own page |
|---|---|---|---|
| Licensed teletherapy | Regain | Messaging, video or phone sessions with a licensed therapist, in one joint account | $60 to $90 a week, billed every 4 weeks |
| Self-guided course app | Lasting | Structured sessions you work through together | Premium from $11.99, covering both partners |
| Daily-question app | Paired | A daily question you both answer | $79.99 per couple per year |
| Daily AI coaching | Pragma | A 15-minute session each, by voice or chat | From $19.99 a month per partner |
Regain's FAQ on pricing and sessions says all its therapists are licensed and it does not take insurance. Lasting's App Store listing says one Premium subscription covers you and your partner. Paired's FAQ on Premium pricing says one partner subscribes for both.
03 · What you get
What Pragma does on iPhone
Pragma gives each partner a short coaching session at night, on their own phone. It sits between doing nothing and booking couples therapy.
A daily session
Each of you has a 15-minute session by voice or chat. The coach asks what happened, helps you see the pattern and ends with one small thing to try.
Three coaches
You pick one of Juno, Aria and Kai, Pragma's three AI coaches. Juno is warm and leans on Emotionally Focused Therapy. Aria is structured and uses CBT-style questions. Kai is encouraging and solution-focused.
Pragma on the App Store and Google Play
Pragma's App Store listing shows "AI Couples Therapy: Pragma" by Monocubed, Inc. It needs iOS 15.1 or later, is built for iPhone and is rated 18+. Pragma is also on Google Play for Android phones.
The app works in English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese and Arabic. You can start the free trial on the web, then subscribe in the app.
04 · How it works
How Pragma works for two partners on two phones
Each partner has a private account on their own phone. You pair with an 8-character invite code, and one of you can start alone.
Transcripts are encrypted with AES-256-GCM and never shown to your partner. Your partner sees your completion, streak and exercise progress. The Journal keeps your sessions for you alone.
05 · Between sessions
The Practice and The Blueprint
The Practice has 13 programs of 7 to 10 days, with one short task a day. The Six-Second Kiss takes about five minutes a day for seven days. The Blueprint shows your progress over time: sessions, minutes and streaks.
06 · The science
Built on methods couples therapists use
The coaching is built on six methods couples therapists train in. They are the Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy, CBT, Nonviolent Communication, attachment theory and positive psychology. Pragma's methods page credits each framework. Pragma is not affiliated with or endorsed by their owners.
07 · Pricing

For comparison, Therapy Cost Guide puts a US couples therapy session at $150 to $300. Pragma is not a substitute for couples therapy when your relationship needs it.
08 · Inside Pragma
Is Pragma the right couples app for your iPhone?
Pragma fits couples who are basically okay and want a short daily practice.
| A good fit | Not a fit |
|---|---|
| You are drifting, not in crisis. | You want a licensed therapist. |
| Weekly sessions do not fit your budget or schedule. | There is abuse, threats or fear at home. |
| One of you is ready before the other. | A mental health condition needs diagnosis or treatment. |
| You see a therapist and want practice between sessions. | Either of you is under 18. |
| You prefer Spanish, French, German, Portuguese or Arabic. | You want a free app only. |

10 · Safety first
When to get more help
An app is not for abuse, fear of your partner or thoughts of self-harm. Pragma's privacy policy says it scans sessions for signs of crisis and points to resources. It is not an emergency service.
In the US, call or text 988 at any hour. The Domestic Violence Hotline is 1-800-799-7233. You can find more helplines on Pragma's crisis resources page for couples.
Honest answers
Frequently asked questions about couples therapy apps for iPhone
Is there a couples therapy app with a real therapist on iPhone?
Yes. Licensed teletherapy services such as Regain connect couples with a licensed therapist by message, video or phone. Self-guided and AI coaching apps, including Pragma, do not provide therapy.
Is Pragma on Android too?
Yes. Pragma is on Google Play as well as the App Store, and each partner can use a different phone.
Do both of us need an iPhone?
No. Each partner uses their own phone, iPhone or Android, and you pair with an 8-character code.
How do I cancel Pragma on iPhone?
Open Settings, tap your name, then Subscriptions, and cancel Pragma there. The App Store's rules decide how long access lasts after you cancel.
