When our first therapist wasn’t a match we were assigned a new one who has been great. OurRitual app is fairly simple to use.

Do You Have Any Questions?

What’s the difference between OurRitual and Betterhelp?

OurRitual is a relationship support platform built for couples (and individuals working on relationships) that blends live sessions with experts plus structured tools, guided pathways, and exercises you can use between meetings.

BetterHelp is primarily focused on connecting you with a licensed therapist for traditional online sessions. While BetterHelp offers resources, it’s less centered on relationship-specific toolkits and continuous support between sessions compared to OurRitual’s approach.

How do OurRitual and BetterHelp compare when it comes to response time and quality of support?

With OurRitual, scheduling is flexible and quick. Sessions are available throughout the week, and rescheduling is simple in the app. Beyond your live sessions, you’ll also have 24/7 access to guided tools and exercises, and you can message your Expert with questions along the way. Our support team typically responds the same day.

BetterHelp also allows messaging with your therapist at any time, but response speed depends on the therapist’s schedule. Their customer support team is generally responsive, with replies usually within 24 hours.

Which platform offers more personalized support for couples?

OurRitual was designed from the ground up for couples. In addition to expert-led live sessions, you’ll have structured learning pathways, science-backed tools, and ongoing exercises tailored to your relationship goals, whether you’re working together as a couple or starting on your own.

BetterHelp does offer counseling for relationship concerns, but it’s primarily structured around individual therapy. It does not provide dedicated couples pathways or ongoing shared tools in the same way OurRitual does.

What additional services do OurRitual and BetterHelp offer beyond standard counseling sessions?

OurRitual goes beyond live sessions with experts by offering a full suite of relationship-building tools in our app. You'll have access to guided pathways, science-backed exercises and videos, progress check-ins, and tools you can use between sessions when challenges arise.

BetterHelp offers traditional online therapy sessions with the option for messaging between appointments. While your therapist may provide homework or recommend resources, there aren’t structured pathways or app-based tools specifically designed for couples. The focus remains on progress happening during your scheduled sessions.

How do the prices compare between OurRitual and BetterHelp?

OurRitual offers affordable online couple’s support starting at $128/month for individuals ($32/week) and $208/month for couples ($52/week).

BetterHelp plans typically range from $260–$400/month ($70–$100/week) depending on your location, preferences, and therapist availability.

How soon can I begin meeting my expert through OurRitual or BetterHelp?

With OurRitual, you can often book your first session within 24 hours, and you’ll have instant access to guided exercises and support in the app right away.

With BetterHelp, most people are matched with a therapist within a few days. Your first live session depends on your therapist’s availability, so there may be a wait before you begin.
