Talkspace plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.

| Messaging Plus Sessions (self-pay) | On request | 1 | Priced on request |
| Insurance plan | On request | 1 | Priced on request |
| Psychiatry | On request | 2 | Priced on request |
What each tier adds
The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.

What the product covers
The full Talkspace feature record, grouped as the catalogue groups it. This is the product as a whole; the record does not map every feature onto a specific tier.

- Therapist matching and switching
- Teen therapy
People bring Talkspace in for someone wanting to start therapy without waiting weeks for an in-person appointment, a person whose insurance is in-network with talkspace, getting therapy at a standard copay, someone who prefers asynchronous messaging therapy over scheduled live sessions, a patient needing psychiatric medication management alongside or instead of talk therapy. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Talkspace are worth a look before you commit to a tier.
How that compares in Healthcare
Too few healthcare tools in this directory publish a starting price to quote a meaningful median, so the table below is a like-for-like list rather than a ranking.

Ratings are aggregated from third-party sources and imported with each catalogue entry, they are not reviews hosted on Softwr. How each figure is used is set out on the Talkspace badges page.
Before you pay for Talkspace
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 4 tiers between On request and On request, with the jump itemised above. With no free tier on record, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to compare Talkspace against the tools that do have one before committing.
Talkspace runs on ios, android, web, and is published by Talkspace, Inc. of New York, New York, United States. The full record is on the Talkspace review, and the rest of the category is under best healthcare tools.
