About Stella

Is Stella a real person or an AI?

Stella is an AI, not a real person. She is software made by StellaLabs: your emotional wellness AI. You can talk to her out loud or type in the iPhone app, or text her from your phone’s messages. Stella is not a licensed therapist or a medical provider.

Is Stella therapy?

No. Stella is not therapy and is not a substitute for professional care. Stella is your emotional wellness AI, made for talking something through. She does not diagnose, treat or provide clinical care, and she is not a crisis service. If you are in crisis in the US, call or text 988.

What can I talk to Stella about?

You can talk to Stella about whatever stayed with you: a night when you can’t come down, a message you haven’t sent yet, a friend group that is shifting, a decision you keep putting off, or good news you want to tell someone. Stella does not set tasks or require a plan. No streaks, nothing to log.

Stella is $9.99 a month or $59.99 a year in the US. The app is free to download; a subscription is required to keep using it. The App Store shows your localized price, billing period and renewal terms before you buy, and those are the terms that apply to you.

How do I cancel my Stella subscription?

If you subscribed in the iPhone app, you can cancel any time in your iPhone settings. Apple manages billing for subscriptions bought in the app, so your renewal date and cancellation options are in your Apple account. Apple also handles refund requests: visit reportaproblem.apple.com and select your Stella purchase.

Using Stella

How do voice and text conversations with Stella work?

The Stella app for iPhone has voice conversations and typed chat. Speak naturally when typing isn’t enough, or type when you can’t talk. Stella replies when you start a conversation, and you don’t have to have it all worked out before you start: begin with what happened.

What is Text Stella, and how is it different from the app?

Text Stella is a text conversation with Stella in iMessage, in the messaging app you already use. The iPhone app is the primary experience and has voice conversations and typed chat. Features, access and subscription terms can differ between Text Stella and the app, so check the details shown in the one you use.
