The people I know in this field bill around $110-$120, though my friend readily discounts to $80 for cash pay patients who are struggling.
The $200-$300 might refer to the price they bill to insurance companies, which is not the real price anyone pays. Insurance pays the higher of the billed cost or the allowed cost, so anyone billing insurance makes sure to bill much higher than the allowed cost to avoid leaving money on the table.
In practice, people with decent insurance will be paying $15-25 copays on average, not $200-300. I suspect their marketing material is being deliberately misleading in order to dissuade people from actual therapy, which is not cool. Wish they’d just market it as an adjunctive tool instead of a therapy replacement while trying to discourage people from going to therapy.
Between this and the $110 automatic charge if people forget to cancel the trial, this app feels like they let the “growth hackers” loose on the app instead of trying to be genuinely helpful.
