Our verdict
Talkspace suits readers who want therapy, psychiatry and prescriptions from one provider rather than stitching services together, and a monthly plan at $19.99 keeps the entry cost low. The trade-off is reassurance: the service runs in the United States, and the money back window is 0 days.

Pros and cons
Pros
- A monthly plan at $19.99 gives a predictable recurring cost, with a single consultation at $69 for anyone testing the service first.
- therapy, psychiatry and prescriptions covers therapy, psychiatry and prescriptions, and therapist and psychiatrist puts both disciplines in one service.
- Availability runs 24 7 and there is a mobile app, so sessions do not wait on office hours.
- Insurance is accepted, so part of the cost can come back through a policy.
- Support runs on email, chat and phone, covering written, chat, spoken and self service routes.
Cons
- The money back window is 0 days, so there is no refund cushion if a plan is cancelled early.
- Free delivery is not offered, so any medication sent out does not arrive free of a delivery charge.
- Talkspace runs in the United States, so readers outside the US have no sessions to book here.
- Against online gp, prescriptions and weight loss, Talkspace has no online doctor service, so general medical queries sit outside therapy, psychiatry and prescriptions.
Who it suits
- Readers who want therapy and psychiatry in the same service, since therapist and psychiatrist covers both and therapy, psychiatry and prescriptions adds prescriptions.
- People in the US who need sessions outside office hours, with availability at 24 7 and a mobile app.
- Anyone who prefers a recurring plan to paying per session, weighing $19.99 against $69.
Who should look elsewhere
- Readers after weight loss, hair loss or skin cover rather than mental health, since online gp, prescriptions and weight loss and online gp, prescriptions and pharmacy list those services instead.
- People who want a general medical consultation, because online gp, prescriptions and weight loss centres on online doctor and weight loss work while Talkspace lists therapy, psychiatry and prescriptions.
Pricing
Talkspace separates a recurring plan from a single visit. The monthly plan sits at $19.99, and that is the figure that carries over month after month, so a reader at renewal is looking at the same number as a reader signing up for the first time. A one-off consultation is $69, which suits anyone who wants one session before committing to a plan. Keep the two apart when you compare, because they measure different things: ongoing care against a single appointment.
What it does well
Three things stand out on the practical side. Insurance is accepted, so part of the cost can come back through a policy. There is a mobile app, so bookings and sessions do not need a desktop. Free delivery is not offered, which matters where a prescription is sent out, since delivery is not free. The money back window is 0 days, so there is no refund period to cushion a cancellation made soon after joining.
Who runs it
Talkspace is the legal entity behind the service, and it is headquartered in the United States. It was founded in 2012, which places it as an established operator rather than a newcomer to online care. Support runs on email, chat and phone, so help is available in writing, by chat, by phone and through a help center. That spread matters for a service people use between appointments, when a quick question is more likely than a formal one.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Talkspace cost?+
Talkspace lists a monthly plan price of $19.99 and a consultation price of $69. The monthly figure is the one that repeats, while the consultation price covers a single session. No other price is listed, so budget from those two numbers rather than assuming extras.
Does the price change at renewal?+
The recurring figure is the monthly plan price of $19.99, and it is the same number shown in the plan listing each month. A reader wanting one session instead of a plan pays $69. Keep the plan and the single session apart when comparing with services priced per appointment.
Who can I speak to on Talkspace?+
therapist and psychiatrist covers therapists and psychiatrists, and therapy, psychiatry and prescriptions runs from therapy through psychiatry to prescriptions. Support and prescribing therefore sit in the same service, which suits readers who would rather not arrange two providers for one course of care.
Can I use insurance with Talkspace?+
Insurance is accepted, which is worth checking before you start because it can reduce what a plan costs you. The plan price stays listed at $19.99, so the amount your insurer contributes depends on the policy you hold rather than on a change in the advertised price.
Is there a Talkspace mobile app?+
There is a mobile app, so sessions can be booked and joined without a desktop. Availability runs 24 7, which suits readers whose week does not fit office hours. Support also runs on email, chat and phone, so help is reachable by phone, chat, email or the help center.
Which countries does Talkspace cover?+
Talkspace operates in the United States, and the company is based in the United States. It is a single market service, so readers elsewhere will not find sessions booked here. The FeelGood sites and DocMorris cover online doctor work instead, which may sit closer to where they are.
Is there a money back guarantee?+
The money back window is 0 days, so there is no refund period to count on if you cancel early. Read the cancellation and refund terms before starting, and budget the $19.99 monthly figure as ongoing spend rather than trial spend.
Does Talkspace deliver medication?+
Free delivery is not offered, so a delivery charge can apply where a prescription is sent out. therapy, psychiatry and prescriptions includes prescriptions, so medication can be part of the plan, but shipping is not free, which is worth factoring into a month when medication is dispatched.
