(2026) Resources # Saya vs. RecoveryHub: Which Online Mental Health Platform Fits You? (2026) ![Saya Mental Health Team](/lovable-uploads/17d7dc95-0a62-494b-a878-bdd69c75f1fa.png) Saya Team Mental Health Team July 8, 2026 6 min read 52 views Share ### 🔑 Key Takeaways **Choose [Saya](/therapists) if you want:** Free guided matching, session pricing shown upfront before you book, the ability to message your practitioner before your first paid session, and in-app mood tracking and journaling between sessions. **Choose RecoveryHub if you want:** To browse a public list of doctors and book a specific psychiatrist or clinical psychologist directly. Saya and RecoveryHub are both Philippine online mental health platforms connecting users to licensed psychiatrists, psychologists, and counselors. [Saya](/therapists) matches users to a practitioner for free and shows session pricing upfront before booking, and lets users message a practitioner before committing to a session, plus it includes in-app mood tracking and journaling between sessions. RecoveryHub's model centers on browsing a list of doctors directly and booking a session, with per-doctor pricing that varies by provider. Saya is the better fit for someone who wants price certainty and a low-commitment way to check fit with a practitioner first. RecoveryHub suits someone who already knows which doctor they want and prefers to book directly. ### Platform Positioning #### What Is Saya? Saya is an online mental health platform in the Philippines that guides users to a licensed psychiatrist, psychologist, or counselor through a free matching flow, with pricing shown upfront and in-app tools between sessions. - • **Free guided matching** based on your needs - • **Upfront pricing** before you book - • **Pre-booking chat** with your matched practitioner - • **Mood tracking and journaling** between sessions #### What Is RecoveryHub? RecoveryHub is a Philippine mental health platform where users browse a public list of licensed psychiatrists and clinical psychologists and book a session with a specific doctor directly. - • **Browse-and-book** model, self-select your doctor - • **Per-doctor pricing** shown on the provider's profile - • **Direct booking** as the first point of contact - • **Psychiatrists and clinical psychologists** on the roster ### Feature Comparison Criteria Saya RecoveryHub Practitioner matching Free, guided matching to a licensed practitioner based on your needs Browse a public list of doctors and self-select Pricing visibility [Session price shown upfront](/pricing), before you book Price varies by doctor; visible once you reach their profile Pre-booking chat with practitioner Yes, message your matched practitioner before your first session Not available; booking is the first point of contact In-app mood tracking Yes, built into the app between sessions Not offered In-app journaling Yes, built into the app between sessions Not offered Practitioner pool Licensed psychiatrists, psychologists, and counselors Licensed psychiatrists and clinical psychologists Session format Video call Video call Best for Users who want price certainty and a low-risk way to check fit first Users who already know which specific doctor they want to book Criteria disclosed: matching process, pricing transparency, pre-booking contact, in-app self-tracking tools, practitioner pool, session format. Table current as of July 2026. Verify RecoveryHub details on their site before relying on specifics, since provider-side pricing and features can change without notice. ### Matching Experience #### Saya: Free Guided Matching Saya matches you to a practitioner for free based on your concerns, preferences, and goals, so you don't have to evaluate profiles from scratch. You can then message your matched practitioner before booking, which lowers the risk of paying for a session that turns out not to be a fit. #### RecoveryHub: Browse and Self-Select RecoveryHub has you browse their public list of doctors and pick one yourself. This works well if you already know which specific doctor you want to book, but there is no pre-booking chat step to check fit first. ### Pricing Transparency #### Saya - ✓ Exact session price shown before you book - ✓ [Published pricing](/pricing) for psychiatry and psychotherapy - ✓ No surprise fees at checkout #### RecoveryHub - • Pricing varies per doctor - • Rate is visible once you view a provider's profile - • Total cost depends on which doctor you pick ### In-App Tools Between Sessions Between sessions is where a lot of therapy work actually happens. Saya includes two tools inside the app for that stretch: - • **Mood tracking** so you can log how you're feeling and spot patterns over time. - • **Journaling** for reflections between sessions your practitioner can revisit with you. RecoveryHub does not currently offer built-in mood tracking or journaling. ### Which Fits Your Situation? #### You want price certainty before you commit Saya shows the exact session price upfront, so you know the cost before booking. #### You already know the specific doctor you want RecoveryHub's browse-and-book flow lets you go straight to that provider's profile and book. #### You want a low-commitment way to check fit first [Saya's](/therapists) pre-booking chat lets you message a matched practitioner before paying for a session. #### You want tools to use between sessions Saya's in-app mood tracking and journaling are built for that stretch between appointments. ### Final Summary If you want free guided matching, upfront session pricing, a pre-booking chat to check fit, and in-app mood tracking and journaling between sessions, [Saya](/therapists) is typically the better fit. If you already know which psychiatrist or clinical psychologist you want and prefer to browse and book directly, RecoveryHub is designed around that flow. ### Not sure where to start?
