an alternative to Togetherall, when you don't have access

last updated september 29, 2026

Togetherall is an anonymous peer-support community watched around the clock by licensed mental health practitioners. it's free, but only if a college, employer, health authority or union pays for you. it says plainly that there is "currently no option for an individual paid subscription". so if you've graduated, changed jobs, or never had access, you can't buy your way in. veisund is free to anyone 18 or older, with no organization in between. it is also smaller and has no clinicians, and this page covers both.

what Togetherall is, from its own pages

Togetherall, formerly Big White Wall, is a web-based community where members post anonymously, share images, join groups and take self-guided courses on anxiety, sleep, depression and more. its Wall Guides are "licensed and registered mental health practitioners". they watch new content 24/7, step in when a member is at risk, and change usernames that might reveal who someone is. Togetherall's terms say it does not use generative AI to interact with members. membership starts at 16. access comes only through an organization that pays: a college, an employer, a health authority, or a union or association. checked on 2026-09-29 against the company's own pages. prices and terms change, so the links are in the sources for this page.

the access problem

Togetherall's FAQ says it three times: there is no individual paid subscription. your access depends on your funder. if your college or employer stops partnering with Togetherall, you get a notice in the app 30 days ahead and an email a week before, and then the account expires. at that point you can only look for another route in, such as a different employer or a postal code covered by a health authority. that's why people search for an alternative after graduating or leaving a job. veisund doesn't depend on who you work for or where you study.

when Togetherall is the better choice

if you have access, Togetherall offers something veisund doesn't: licensed practitioners watching the community around the clock and stepping in when someone is at risk. it also has structured self-help courses and self-assessments. it's open from 16, and veisund is 18 and over only. and it's a larger, established community with nearly twenty years behind it, which means more people reading your post. if your school or employer covers it, use it. you can use veisund as well.

what veisund does differently

veisund is free to anyone 18 or older, and no organization has to sign a contract first. you post under a handle, members who have lived something similar reply when they read it, and when a reply helps you mark the post resolved and credit the reply. the community is still small, so replies can take a while, and there are no clinicians moderating it. the other half is an evidence library: plain-language summaries of studies with the source and an evidence grade, and a lookup of drug-company payments to your own doctor from federal Open Payments data. it's not therapy and not a crisis service. 988 and Crisis Text Line are in the app.

common questions

Can I pay for Togetherall myself?

No. Togetherall's FAQ says there is currently no option for an individual paid subscription. Access is free, but only through a funding organization, such as a college, employer, health authority or union.

What happens when my Togetherall access expires?

Togetherall says you'll be notified in the platform 30 days before, and by email a week before, access ends. After that you can try another eligibility route (for example a different employer or your postal code). Otherwise the account is closed to you.

Is Togetherall anonymous?

Yes. Members use a username, Wall Guides see only the username (not your registration details), and Wall Guides may change a username that could identify you. In a risk situation, Wall Guides may ask for your location and contact details.

Who are Togetherall's Wall Guides?

Togetherall describes them as licensed and registered mental health practitioners who monitor the community 24/7, respond to members in crisis and protect anonymity.

Is there a free Togetherall alternative for anyone?

veisund is free peer support open to anyone 18 or older, with no school or employer needed. It is smaller and has no clinician moderators. For a crisis in the US, call or text 988 or text HOME to 741741.
