Whether you're seeking support or offering it, no hidden fees, no surprises.
Just clear, fair pricing per session.
Specialists set their own session rates. A small per-session fee keeps the platform running and free to join for everyone.
Automatically deducted from the specialist's earnings, clients are never charged this fee.
Paid by the client on top of the session rate. Covers secure video, scheduling, messaging and payment processing.
Neither clients nor specialists pay a recurring fee. You pay only when a session takes place.
Move the slider to any session rate and see exactly what the client pays and what the specialist receives.
HD, end-to-end encrypted video calls. No extra app required — runs entirely in your browser.
Browse specialist availability and book in minutes. Automated reminders sent before each session.
Private, GDPR-compliant messaging between you and your specialist between sessions.
All payments handled securely by Stripe. Your card details are never stored by SympathiQ.
