We're not just aggregating data. We test every platform ourselves and have licensed clinicians review our content.
Every article is reviewed by licensed therapists (LCSW, LMFT, PhD) for clinical accuracy before publishing.
We sign up, pay for services, test matching algorithms, and document everything—not just specs from their website.
We include real user complaints, address controversies, and tell you who each platform isn't right for.
