Question 1

Is Stella a real therapist?

Accepted Answer

No. Stella is an AI emotional companion, not a licensed therapist or mental health professional. Stella uses evidence-informed techniques to help you process emotions and manage anxiety, but it's designed to complement—not replace—professional care.

Question 2

How is Stella different from ChatGPT or other AI?

Accepted Answer

Unlike generic AI chatbots, Stella remembers your conversations, patterns, and triggers over time. Most AI forgets you the moment you close the app. Stella builds a relationship with you—understanding what works for you specifically.

Question 3

Is my data private and secure?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Your conversations are encrypted and stored securely. You have full control over your data—you can choose whether to share anonymized conversation data, and you can delete your data at any time. We never sell your personal information.

Question 4

Can I use Stella during a crisis?

Accepted Answer

Stella is designed for everyday anxiety and emotional support, not crisis intervention. If you're experiencing a mental health emergency, please call 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline), text HOME to 741741, or go to your nearest emergency room.

Question 5

How much does Stella cost?

Accepted Answer

Stella offers a free trial. After that, it's $9.99/month—significantly less than most therapy apps. You can cancel anytime, and there are no hidden fees.
