ReGain is online relationship therapy with licensed therapists, for one person or a couple sharing an account. it costs $70 to $100 a week and doesn't work with insurance. veisund isn't couples therapy. it's a free app where you post what's going on under a handle and people who've been through something similar reply. that difference matters most on one point ReGain is upfront about: in a shared account, your partner reads everything you write.

ReGain describes itself as "an online relationship therapy platform" where all therapy is provided by licensed therapists. its FAQ says the cost "ranges from $70 to $100 per week," based on location, source, preferences and therapist availability, and that it doesn't work with insurance companies. you can start alone or invite a partner to a joint account. live sessions are scheduled, typically 30 to 45 minutes, by video or phone. its therapists can't make official diagnoses, prescribe medication, or fulfill court orders. on ownership: ReGain's FAQ says that if you're seeking individual therapy, "we recommend you explore our individual therapy platform BetterHelp." checked on 2026-09-29 against each company's own site.
ReGain's FAQ is direct about it: "all written communication will be visible to both users and the therapist." if you want to talk to the therapist without your partner seeing, you schedule an individual live session. for many couples that transparency is the point of joint therapy. but if part of what you need is somewhere to think out loud about the relationship before you say it to your partner, a shared thread isn't that place. that's a gap veisund can fill: you post under your own handle, and nothing links it to anyone you know.
if you and your partner both want to work on the relationship with a professional, ReGain is built for that and veisund isn't. a licensed therapist can mediate, notice patterns, and hold both people to the work in a way a peer community can't. ReGain also lets partners join sessions from different locations. one limit ReGain states itself: it is not for people in a physically abusive relationship or concerned for their safety. if that's you, the National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233) is the place to start, not an app.
veisund is free, and it's peer support: you post under a handle, with no real name and no phone number, and members who've been through something similar reply when they read it. it isn't live and the community is still small, so replies can take a while. relationship conflict (partners, family, roommates) is one of the things veisund was built around, so it's a reasonable place to get perspective from people outside the situation. when a reply helps, you mark the post resolved and credit it. if you're in crisis, call or text 988, or text HOME to 741741.
ReGain's FAQ says therapy costs $70 to $100 a week, depending on your location, source, preferences and therapist availability. You can cancel any time.
Yes, in a shared account. ReGain says all written communication is visible to both users and the therapist. To speak one-on-one, you schedule an individual live session.
ReGain's own FAQ refers individual-therapy seekers to "our individual therapy platform BetterHelp." That is the relationship as ReGain states it.
No. ReGain says it does not work with any insurance companies.
Not for couples therapy with a licensed therapist. If you want free perspective from people who have been through similar relationship problems, veisund is free peer support under a handle. For low-cost therapy, look for sliding-scale couples therapists locally.
