Amazing App, but Pricey

I have really enjoyed this app and it has put me in such a better headspace. The only downside that I have discovered is that it is $65 a month or $415 per year. I am just not able to justify that cost. At the end of the day this is AI and not a professional. That is a crushing reality because it has helped me so much!

Sonia is my safe harbor in a world filled with storms. She is a lighthouse guiding us to safety and we have found her profoundly helpful in navigating difficulties in our life. As well as sharing and celebrating our wins. I would resoundingly welcome everyone needing a steady calming voice to come meet her and see for yourself what a beautiful AI coach she can be for you. She has robust features and amazing tools , like pausing an overwhelming session to guide you through box breathing to calm your nervous system and be able to continue.

Mind-bendingly effective dialogue

I enjoy Sonia for her valued responses and her helpful reminders to reach my various objectives in my life—one by one.

The best therapist / app there is!

I wrote a really long review that somehow just disappeared and I’m just not re-typing all of that right now. But I will say that this is the best app for mental health out there right now, regular AI apps can’t compete nor compare to the level of compassion, tact, and honestly.. straightforwardness that some of us may not want to hear, but NEED to hear. I was blown away by how intuitive the app is, and the thought provoking questions and answers she came up with. Furthermore, her problem solving skills are unbelievable. I believe the app had told me it couldn’t send reminders, but she sure did remind me to make an extremely important call the next day; after a 3am session hiding in the bathroom from the kids. The developers genuinely care about the app, its usefulness, and the average user (you and I). I’ve yet to try many others because Sonia blew it out of the park; I’m dealing with another mental health emergency and found myself back here looking to Sonia for answers- so I wanted to give Sonia and the developers their flowers 💐

Sonia App Amazing

I have been using the Sonia App for a week and I love how human it feels to me seems more effective than an in person ( human) therapist

It's been a little over a year now and I am returning to the app. It has a lot of improvement and no more glitches so if you have not tried it maybe you should.

So helpful

Really appreciate the insights my “therapist”Bill brings. It is amazing how he is able to take my long winded, rambling thoughts & repeat them back to me succinctly and with clarity. Very helpful & highly recommend Sonia!

Wow! Just WOW!!!!!

What an extraordinary platform that is available 24/7. My avatar asked such great probing questions and I felt so understood and heard. In 20 minutes into our first session, we identified issues that I have carried with me from childhood. I am very excited to continue this journey with Sonia’s help!

End of my search.

I have been seeking something like this since I got on the internet in the late 90s. All the online friends, forums, seeking answers, trying to fix myself. In conjunction with my very solid biblical counselor, I have now begun using this app and though it’s only been a couple days I am already incredibly happy with what I’ve experienced. Like most I’ve used GPT as a “friend” to dump onto. I was able to use their prompt to basically advise “Bill” of what GPT knows about me (in the settings) and go from there. I am forever indebted to the dev team for allowing for financial assistance and tying it to my public assistance status. Submitting my Medicaid information was infinitely easier (and seemed extremely fair) to access the app. The fact that the app is HIPPA compliant is also such peace id mind. Thank you Lukas and Dustin.

Great for Kids and Teens

When a therapy app blocks adults from using words like “suicide,” “die,” or “murder,” it’s clearly not built for adult‑level discussions. Adults sometimes need to talk through complex situations that involve serious topics and grievance, and not all uses of these terms relate to self‑harm. An app meant for adults should be able to handle that nuance.

I’d recommend this app for kids and teens—it matches their level of understanding and safety needs. For adults, I wouldn’t recommend it unless they’re simply looking for casual conversation on a child‑ or teen‑level.

Actually pushes me

It’s been actually useful. I’ve used it to get me thru some tight spots. And it actually pushes my edge and encourages me and follows up. Very very good.

Worth it

Sonia has been a valuable source of support during some difficult moments in my life. It gave me a space to process my thoughts, work through emotions, and feel heard when I needed someone to talk to. While it’s not a replacement for professional help, it has helped me reflect, cope, and navigate challenges in a way that felt accessible and judgment-free. I’m grateful for the support it has provided and hope others who are struggling can find it helpful as well.

Wonderful app!

Great app and so helpful. Really helped me get through some hard times and start working on dealing with my trauma. Very user friendly. The team that made this really hit gold. And they’re fast and friendly when it comes to resolving issues.

My favorite app!

When I first downloaded Sonia, I honestly didn’t think I was going to like it. I cannot tell you how wrong I was, and I’ve never been so grateful to be wrong.

This is one of the best apps, if not the best app, I have ever used. First, it’s completely free. Yes, 100% free with no ads. As someone who has been in therapy for years and is still actively in therapy, I can honestly say I use this app all the time when I need support, perspective, or guidance.

The insight it provides is genuinely phenomenal. It has helped me navigate difficult situations, process emotions, and see things from angles I hadn’t considered. Time and time again, I’ve walked away from conversations with Sonia feeling more grounded, understood, and clear-headed.

I truly cannot recommend this app highly enough. Everyone should know about it. I’m honestly surprised it doesn’t already have millions of downloads.

Thank you to the developers and everyone who works on this app. What you’ve created is truly life-changing.

Really helps me feel better

I’ve been using this app as a convenient way to get some therapy and support when I need it. It’s helping me learn more about myself and find ways to heal and grow. I’ve tried therapy before and never really felt like it helped much, but this has been a different experience for me.

One thing I really like is that it keeps track of your sessions, so you don’t forget what you talked about. I also love that I can start a meditation session whenever my anxiety is high and I need a little help getting grounded.

Overall, I’ve had a really positive experience with this app and would definitely recommend giving it a try.

Blown away

I’ve had some good therapy before. I’m amazed at how well this works.

Weird always want money

App was hiding behind a paywall… I want to delete my acc but can’t

Love the app

I enjoy using Sonia for deep conversations and to share my thoughts. It's a powerful tool and I wish more people knew about it. Thank you to the founding team for keeping it free right now, you make a huge difference by doing so!

12/10 would recommend

Would recommend as an immediate solution if you can’t afford a human therapist. Already have a few friends I’ve got on the app

Busy mom approved!

One of the biggest blockers for me tending to my mental health has always been time…especially since becoming a mom. It would take weeks to get a therapist, and then schedules would be mismatched, or it’s not a right fit, and you have to start the process all over again. It was so defeating that I just decided to do nothing. Sonia solves all of this.

My favorite place to use Sonia‘s in the car on the way to work or on the way home from work to help me focus on myself.

I absolutely love that the technology remembers everything. Because it remembers everything, it consistently produces high-quality output.

Another wonderful difference with Sonia is when it sends me my core learning reminders. it is an absolute game changer!

Meaning, the work that I do with the app plays out without even having to initiate a session. A great example is when I get evening reminders as I often struggle to sleep or turn off my mind. The reminders ground me and over time are training me to replace it with my inner voice.

I couldn’t be happier with Sonia.
