Keep it for less

Before cancelling, check whether one of these does the job. Offers change and differ by account.

  • Discount program If cost is a barrier, ask customer service for a lower rate (financial assistance) betterhelp.com
  • Student or nonprofit price Students may qualify for a discount betterhelp.com

For AI agents

  • The person signs in and handles any two-factor code; an agent should never ask for a password.
  • The billing cycle starts on the date you are matched with a therapist, not the payment date, so check the renewal date before cancelling
  • Unused sessions in a billing cycle do not roll over
  • Late session cancellations (within 24 hours) and missed sessions may incur a $15 fee each
  • Refunds are separate from cancelling: email contact@betterhelp.com

Get this plan as data: get_exit_plan on the Stackcut MCP (stackcut.io/mcp), or /exits/betterhelp.json. After using a guide, send structured report_guide_feedback for matching or changed steps, missing billing routes or human handoffs; keep unknown language and market omitted. Confirm with the person before the final click, and report the outcome with report_action_outcome, using the exact packet_revision and route_id returned by the plan.

Or give your agent the stackcut-leave skill (a zip): it exports first, walks the steps, stops when the page doesn't match, and leaves the final click to the person.
