Quick answer

BetterHelp: As of mid-2026, roughly **$65–$100/week ≈ $260–$400 billed every 4 weeks** (13 cycles/yr). A credit card is required to start. Cancelling is easy. Our take: BetterHelp doesn't insurance-bill, so the sticker shock is real — that weekly quote can land as ~$260–$400 hitting your card on the 4-week cycle, though as of mid-2026 BetterHelp is also rolling out true weekly billing, so check which cadence your account is on.

Our take

BetterHelp doesn't insurance-bill, so the sticker shock is real — that weekly quote can land as ~$260–$400 hitting your card on the 4-week cycle, though as of mid-2026 BetterHelp is also rolling out true weekly billing, so check which cadence your account is on. The cancel itself is easy, which is rare for the category, but pause it the moment your therapist match isn't clicking; rematching while paying is just rent. Skip entirely if you have insurance with mental health coverage — your in-network copay will be a fraction of this.

The 30-day trial is unusually long for a fitness app, and Peloton's instructor-led classes still set the bar for engagement. Use the trial to honestly answer one question — do you actually press play three days a week without someone yelling at you in person? If yes, App+ is one of the best fitness deals on this list. If no, cancel by day 28 and the only thing you spent was time.

Mochi Health is a telehealth membership for obesity and metabolic care, and reviewers generally like the clinical side: you meet with a board-certified obesity-medicine provider and a registered dietitian, and Forbes Health rated it 4.3 out of 5 with a Trustpilot base around 4.4 across roughly 16,000 reviews. The part worth understanding before you join is the billing. There are two separate subscriptions - a monthly membership and a separate medication charge - and each is cancelled on its own. The membership bills every month whether or not you order a refill, and the most common complaints in the record are about being charged while still waiting on a visit or a decision, plus a narrow, discretionary refund window. None of that is a knock on the care; it is a reason to know your dates. If you join, the whole game is tracking the membership billing date and pausing deliberately when you are between refills or reassessing. Track it here and we send a reminder before each membership renewal, so nothing surprises you.
