Rhythm isn't your therapist.
Rhythm is not therapy, not a therapist, and not a replacement for one. It's a personal AI for thinking things through: a private space to hear yourself, for the enormous stretch of life that doesn't need a clinician and doesn't feel fine either.
Most days don't need a diagnosis. They need support.
The overwhelmed Tuesday. The conversation you keep rehearsing in the shower. The feeling you can't name yet. The decision you've made and unmade four times.
None of that is a clinical problem. It's just being a person, and it tends to arrive at 11pm when there's nobody to call and the next appointment is three weeks out. That's the gap Rhythm was built for. Not to treat you. To help you hear yourself.
What Rhythm is, and isn't
Rhythm is a private space to think out loud, available whenever, with a voice you've set yourself and memory that means you never start from zero. About a coffee a week, or a year for about the cost of one therapy session.
Rhythm isn't diagnosis, treatment, or crisis support. It won't act like your therapist. It's built to strengthen your own judgment rather than to make you reliant on it, which is why there are no streaks, no badges, and nothing designed to keep you here longer than you meant to be.
They work well together
Plenty of people use Rhythm alongside therapy, not instead of it. To sort out what happened between sessions. To work out what they actually want to bring to the next one. To keep going during the months they can't afford weekly.
If you have a therapist, keep your therapist. Rhythm is for the days in between.
Why it costs what it costs
Therapy runs $170 to $200 an hour in most Canadian and US cities, and that's when you can get an appointment.
Rhythm is $19.99 a month in Canada, $14.99 in the US, and there's a free tier that doesn't need a credit card. It isn't the same thing as therapy and it isn't priced as though it were. See the plans
Some moments call for a person
If you're in crisis, or thinking about hurting yourself or others, please reach out to a human. In Canada and the US you can call or text 9-8-8 any time.
Rhythm has rules about this built into how it responds: it won't try to manage a crisis, and it will point you toward real support. Reaching for that is strength, not failure.
For everything in between sessions, there's Rhythm.
Frequently asked questions
Is Rhythm therapy?
No. Rhythm is a personal AI for thinking things through. It can't diagnose or treat anything, it isn't built for crisis, and it isn't a substitute for a licensed professional.
Can Rhythm replace my therapist?
No, and it isn't designed to. Many people use Rhythm between sessions, to process what came up or work out what to bring next time.
Is Rhythm cheaper than therapy?
Yes, substantially. Therapy typically runs $170 to $200 per session. A year of Rhythm costs about the same as one session, and there's a free tier that requires no account.
What does Rhythm do if I'm in crisis?
It won't try to handle it. Rhythm's guardrails direct you toward real human support, including 9-8-8, which is available by call or text in both Canada and the US.
