Chat support runs between sessions. It costs $64 to $84 a week, depending on plan length, and insurance is not accepted.

Liked Relish's small daily habit? Pragma gives each partner a private 15-minute session a day, by voice or chat. It is an AI relationship coach, not a human coach or a therapist, and it does not diagnose or treat.
The Practice adds 13 programs of 7 to 10 days, one short task a day. One partner can start alone and invite the other with an 8-character code. Transcripts are never shown to the other partner. Pragma costs $19.99 a month or $119.99 a year per partner, after a 7-day free trial with no card.
