What it costs and includes
$24.99 per month. Month to month, no lock-in.Is it worth it for you?
The membership page works out the break-even against real directory prices — at a median fee, a certain number of sessions a month covers the cost.If you only see someone every few months, don’t join. Below the break-even you’re better off paying
as you go, and you can join later without penalty.
How the discount works with Medicare
You’re charged the member price, then your rebate comes off that. The gap you actually pay drops by the full discount.Does the therapist earn less?
No. The discount comes out of Open Therapy’s margin, not the therapist’s fee. That’s what lets it stay flat across the whole directory — no therapist has to opt in, and nobody is paid less for taking a member’s booking. See Fees.Cancelling
Month to month. Cancel any time, and member prices stay live until the end of the month you’ve paid for.The library
