Side by Side
How this plays out in practice.
Many online therapy platforms are built around matching volume: connecting you quickly with someone from a large contracted network. Attune is built around a smaller, supervised clinical team.
 | Typical Online Therapy Platform | |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | Sliding scale, $60–$150/session based on income | Flat monthly subscription, often $260–$400+, regardless of income |
| Clinical supervision | Weekly case review with direct session observation by a licensed clinical director | Varies by provider; not typically disclosed or standardized |
| Outcome tracking | Validated measures (PHQ-9, GAD-7) tracked every session | Not standard practice; progress often self-reported and informal |
| Data & privacy | Never sold or shared with advertisers or employers; used only for your care | Business models vary; some platforms have faced scrutiny over data-sharing practices |
| Insurance billing | Private pay only, so no formal diagnosis is filed with insurers | Often insurance-billed, which attaches a diagnosis to your record |
This comparison reflects how large subscription-based telehealth platforms are generally structured, based on publicly available information as of 2026. Specific features vary by platform and provider; we encourage you to compare directly.
Oversight isn’t a nice-to-have — it’s what the data says actually works. Therapists working without outcome monitoring have been shown to miss 97.5% of patients whose condition was quietly getting worse (Goldberg et al., 2016). Structured outcome monitoring like ours has been linked to a 23.6% relative improvement in combined anxiety and depression outcomes (Frontiers in Health Services, 2025).
