How we evaluate services

Every service in our comparisons is assessed against the same criteria. Commercial relationships never change our criteria, our findings or the order in which services appear. Full methodology.

  1. Clinician credentials

    Are clinicians licensed, and can you verify their credentials and the jurisdictions they practice in?

  2. Evidence-based care

    Does the service offer approaches with research support, and does it measure progress?

  3. Pricing transparency

    Are total costs, billing frequency and cancellation terms clear before you sign up?

  4. Insurance and affordability

    Does it accept insurance, provide superbills, or offer lower-cost options?

  5. Privacy and data practices

    How is health information stored and shared? Is any data used for advertising?

  6. Safety and crisis policy

    Does the service screen for risk, explain what happens in a crisis and refer to higher levels of care when needed?

  7. Access and fit

    How quickly can you start, can you choose or switch clinicians, and are formats (video, phone, messaging) suitable?

Our review principles

  • We evaluate every service against the same published criteria.
  • We don’t publish star ratings or scores we can’t substantiate, and we never publish fake reviews.
  • Commercial relationships never affect inclusion, order or conclusions.
  • We re-verify pricing, insurance and policies regularly and show the date we last checked.
  • Inclusion is not a medical endorsement — the right care depends on your individual needs.
