💔 Why Sanvello Users Are Switching to Stella

Voice beats typing when you're anxious

Talk naturally instead of typing in chat groups. When your hands are shaking, voice is everything.

AI that knows you beats anonymous peers

No more explaining your anxiety from scratch. Stella remembers your triggers, patterns, and what's worked before.

Always available, never waiting for responses

Peer groups required waiting. Stella responds instantly, 24/7, even at 3am.

Still CBT-informed, just conversational

The same evidence-based techniques Sanvello used, delivered naturally in conversation instead of structured exercises.

What You'll Gain with Stella

🎙️

24/7 Voice Support

What's Different (The Honest Part)

✕ No Peer Support Groups

Stella doesn't have community chat rooms. Instead, you get 1:1 attention from an AI that remembers you—no waiting for peers to respond, no group dynamics to navigate.

✕ No Mood Charts (Yet)

Sanvello had visual mood tracking with graphs. Stella does conversational check-ins instead. (We're building mood visualization—coming soon!)

✕ Not Insurance-Covered (Yet)

Sanvello was covered by UnitedHealth and others. Stella is $9.99/month direct—we're working on insurance partnerships.

The trade-off: You lose community and insurance coverage. You gain instant availability, personalized memory, and voice-first support that works when you're too anxious to type.
