Woebot Alternatives in 2026: Apps to Consider

As of October 13, 2026. App features, availability and prices change often. Check the current App Store or Google Play listing before you subscribe.

Everything here is general wellness information for self-help and reflection. No app, including PeacAI, diagnoses, treats or cures any condition, and none is a substitute for professional care or a crisis service.

The Woebot app was retired

Woebot Health’s FAQ says the Woebot app was retired on June 30, 2025. New accounts can no longer be created. Transcript requests closed on July 15, 2025, and account data was anonymised as of July 31, 2025. Industry press reported at the time that the company’s work with employers and health systems was separate from the consumer app.

Woebot was known for short, friendly check-ins built around CBT-style ideas.

Questions to ask yourself

Do you prefer guided exercises, open conversation, or simple mood check-ins?
Would you rather type or talk out loud?
What fits your budget: a free tier, a free trial or a subscription?
What does the privacy policy say about storage, deletion and model training?

Trying an app’s free tier or trial is the simplest way to find out whether its style suits you. If things feel heavy for more than a couple of weeks, or you feel unsafe, reach out to a professional or one of the crisis lines above.
