BetterHelp bills weekly by default, which can create surprise charges if you forget to cancel. If you signed up through an app store or employer program, you won't see a cancel option in your BetterHelp account.

BetterHelp-specific things to know

BetterHelp subscriptions can work differently depending on your plan or how you signed up. These tips cover common edge cases.

Weekly billing is the default
Most BetterHelp plans bill weekly, not monthly. Check your billing frequency before cancelling to avoid surprise charges.
You can switch therapists without cancelling
If your current therapist isn't working out, you can request a new match instead of cancelling your entire subscription.
Access continues until billing period ends
After cancelling, you can still message your therapist and access sessions until your current week or month expires.

Before you cancel, keep this in mind

These details can affect your cancellation timing or whether it goes through properly.

1. Check who's billing you

If you signed up through an employer assistance program or insurance portal, you may need to cancel through them instead of BetterHelp directly.

2. Note your billing cycle

BetterHelp typically bills weekly. Cancelling doesn't stop the current period's charge if it's already processed, but prevents future charges.

3. Consider requesting a new therapist first

If you're cancelling due to therapist fit issues, BetterHelp allows unlimited therapist switches. This might solve your problem without cancelling.

Consider these alternatives

If cost is the main concern, you might be able to pause or adjust your plan instead of cancelling completely.

Switch to a less expensive plan

BetterHelp offers different session frequencies and communication methods at various price points.

  • Weekly sessions vs bi-weekly

  • Messaging-only vs video sessions

  • Group therapy options

Pause your BetterHelp subscription

BetterHelp offers a pause option for up to 30 days if you need a temporary break. This holds your therapist match and billing without losing your account.

Negotiate a Deal

BetterHelp sometimes offers discounts for financial hardship or reduced-rate sessions. Contact support to discuss options.

Alternative ways to cancel BetterHelp

If you can't cancel through your BetterHelp account, you may need to go through app stores or contact support. The right option depends on how you're being billed.

Apple App Store

iPhone users who subscribed through the BetterHelp iOS app need to cancel through Apple's subscription settings.
