10 Best Telehealth Apps of 2026

1. 1

   Teladoc Health

   The largest US virtual care service by members, with 24/7 general medical visits, primary care, mental health, dermatology and nutrition.

   8.9overall

   The largest US virtual care service by members, with 24/7 general medical visits, primary care, mental health, dermatology and nutrition.

   Best forPatients who want one app for urgent, primary and mental health care, especially if an employer or health plan already covers it.

   Adoption data

   100.1 millionTeladoc Health reported 100.1 million US Integrated Care members with access to its services at September 30, 2026, down 2% from a year earlier.

   Teladoc Health, Inc. (SEC Form 10-Q), Teladoc Health Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2026 (2026): “U.S. Integrated Care members decreased by 2.4 million, or 2%, to 100.1 million at September 30, 2026”

   Teladoc Health is the default answer for most people because there is a good chance they already have it. The company's September 2026 quarterly filing counts 100.1 million US Integrated Care members, which is more than any other service here, though that figure fell 2% in a year as some health plan clients cut enrollment. The app covers 24/7 General Medical visits by phone, video or app, Primary360 primary care for adults, mental health care, dermatology reviews and nutrition. Without insurance, Teladoc posts flat self-pay prices: $89 for urgent care, nutrition and a dermatology review, and $119 for a mental health visit. With covered plans, General Medical visits can cost as little as $0. The weak spot is cash value. Sesame starts at $34 and LiveHealth Online caps visits at $59, so uninsured patients who only need a quick urgent care visit can pay less elsewhere. GLP-1 prescriptions are limited to enrolled Primary360 or condition management members.

   Strengths

   • +Largest member base in this list, at 100.1 million US members in its latest 10-Q
   • +Upfront self-pay prices: $89 for urgent care, nutrition and dermatology, $119 for mental health
   • +Pediatricians are part of the 24/7 General Medical service

   Limitations

   • −$89 cash price is well above Sesame's $34 starting visit
   • −Member count fell 2% year over year as some health plan enrollment dropped
   • −Some programs, such as GLP-1 care, are only open to eligible enrolled members

   SummaryThe best all-round telehealth app, with the widest coverage through employers and health plans. Uninsured patients should compare its $89 visit with cheaper cash options.

2. 2

   MDLIVE

   A 24/7 virtual care service that lists upfront prices for urgent care, primary care, therapy, psychiatry and dermatology.

   8.6overall

   A 24/7 virtual care service that lists upfront prices for urgent care, primary care, therapy, psychiatry and dermatology.

   Best forInsured patients whose plan includes MDLIVE and who want posted prices for therapy and psychiatry as well as urgent care.

   Adoption data

   50 millionMDLIVE says more than 50 million people have it as part of their health insurance benefit.

   MDLIVE, MDLIVE home page (2026): “More than 50 million people have MD Live as part of their health insurance benefit.”

   MDLIVE is the strongest pick for insured patients who also want mental health care with clear prices. Its home page lists urgent care at $0 to $89, dermatology at $0 to $95, an initial therapy session at $0 to $179 with follow-ups at $140 before insurance, and an initial psychiatry appointment at $0 to $299 with follow-ups at $159. Primary care is $0 on participating plans but is only offered through select insurers. MDLIVE says more than 50 million people have it as part of their health insurance benefit, which measures access rather than visits. A useful extra is E-Treatment, which lets certain urgent care conditions be handled without a live visit. The service also lists a long range of conditions, from UTIs and pink eye to thyroid issues and type 2 diabetes. The downsides are practical: a $25 fee applies to wellness visits cancelled within 24 hours and to routine care visits cancelled within 2 hours, and uninsured patients pay the top of each range.

   Strengths

   • +Most complete price table here: urgent care $0 to $89, dermatology $0 to $95, therapy $0 to $179
   • +E-Treatment handles some conditions without scheduling a video call
   • +Can prescribe Paxlovid for adults 18 and older when appropriate

   Limitations

   • −Primary care is only available on select insurance plans
   • −Cancellation fees apply, such as $25 for wellness visits cancelled within 24 hours
   • −Adoption figure counts people with access, not people who used it

   SummaryA well-priced choice when your insurer includes it, with the clearest mental health price list here. Uninsured patients pay up to $89 for urgent care.

3. 3

   Sesame

   A cash-price marketplace where patients book video visits with independent providers, with visits starting at $34.

   8.3overall

   A cash-price marketplace where patients book video visits with independent providers, with visits starting at $34.

   Best forUninsured patients or people with high deductibles who want the lowest upfront visit price.

   Adoption data

   1 millionSesame says more than 1 million patients have used its service.

   Sesame, Sesame home page (2026): “Real care, no runaround. 1M+ patients agree.”

   Sesame is the value pick. Instead of running one medical group, it lists independent providers who set cash prices, and the home page says visits start at $34, less than half of Teladoc's $89 self-pay price. Sesame reports more than 1 million patients, more than 10,000 board-certified providers and over $50 million saved by patients, all self-reported figures. The catalog runs to 383 services, including urgent care, prescription refills, pediatric visits, women's health, dermatology and online referrals for MRI, CT, X-ray and lab orders. Ongoing programs are priced too: mental health prescription refills cost $79 a month and the Wegovy pill starts at $149 a month. The trade-offs come from the marketplace model. Each provider practice is independently owned, so wait times and style differ, and the service is built around paying cash rather than billing your insurer. For a patient with a high deductible, that can still work out cheaper than an in-network visit.

   Strengths

   • +Lowest starting visit price in this list, at $34
   • +Sesame reports patients have saved more than $50 million
   • +Online referrals for MRI, CT, X-ray and lab orders

   Limitations

   • −Providers are independent practices, so the experience varies by clinician
   • −Adoption figure is self-reported, with no filing behind it
   • −Built around cash prices rather than insurance billing

   SummaryThe cheapest way to see a doctor online without insurance, from $34. Pick it when price matters more than a single consistent care team.

4. 4

   Doctor On Demand

   A virtual care service from Included Health offering 24/7 urgent care, mental health and virtual primary care, mostly through health plans and employers.

   8.2overall

   A virtual care service from Included Health offering 24/7 urgent care, mental health and virtual primary care, mostly through health plans and employers.

   Best forInsured patients whose health plan or employer includes Doctor On Demand.

   Adoption data

   98 millionDoctor On Demand says it is a covered benefit for more than 98 million Americans.

   Doctor On Demand by Included Health, Virtual Primary Care (2026): “Doctor On Demand is a covered benefit for over 98 million Americans.”

   Doctor On Demand, now part of Included Health, is a strong choice when your health plan or employer pays for it. The company says it is a covered benefit for more than 98 million Americans, and covered visits can be as low as $0. The service offers 24/7 virtual urgent care with no membership required, mental health care, virtual primary care for preventive and chronic needs, and skin care. Before you sign up, it shows the average wait time in your state, and the sign-up flow checks whether it takes your plan and estimates your cost. The main gap for this ranking is price transparency. The public pages we checked ask whether you have insurance but do not print a self-pay visit price, so we could not verify one and scored value conservatively. Uninsured patients should check the price in the app before booking and compare it with Teladoc's posted $89 or Sesame's $34.

   Strengths

   • +Covered benefit for more than 98 million Americans
   • +No membership is needed for urgent care
   • +Shows the average wait in your state before booking

   Limitations

   • −Self-pay prices are not shown on the public pages we checked
   • −Virtual primary care may depend on your employer
   • −Adoption figure counts coverage, not visits

   SummaryA dependable pick if your insurance includes it, with wide coverage and 24/7 urgent care. The missing public cash price holds back its value score.

   Hims & Hers

   A subscription telehealth platform for sexual health, hair loss, hormones, weight loss, dermatology and mental health, with online pharmacy fulfillment.

   8.0overall

   A subscription telehealth platform for sexual health, hair loss, hormones, weight loss, dermatology and mental health, with online pharmacy fulfillment.

   Best forPatients who want ongoing treatment for a specific condition, with medication shipped as a subscription.

   Adoption data

   2.8 millionHims & Hers reported nearly 2.8 million subscribers in the third quarter of 2026, up 13% from a year earlier.

   Hims & Hers Health, Inc. (SEC Form 8-K), Hims & Hers Health, Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2026 Financial Results (2026): “Subscribers grew to nearly 2.8 million, up 13% year-over-year in Q3 2026”

   Hims & Hers is a different kind of telehealth service: it is built around subscriptions for ongoing treatment rather than one-off doctor visits. Its 10-Q describes treatments mainly for sexual health, hair loss, hormone health, weight loss, dermatology and mental health, plus laboratory testing, with licensed professionals prescribing when appropriate and prescriptions fulfilled online through licensed pharmacies. Adoption is not in doubt. The company reported nearly 2.8 million subscribers in the third quarter of 2026, up 13% year over year, which counts paying customers on recurring billing rather than people with access through a health plan. Average monthly revenue per subscriber was $105 in the quarter, a sign of what a typical customer spends. The limits matter for this ranking. Hims & Hers does not cover general urgent care for a sore throat or a rash in the way Teladoc or MDLIVE do, and its public pricing pages did not load from our location, so we could not verify a starting price.

   Strengths

   • +Largest paying subscriber base here, at nearly 2.8 million
   • +Subscribers grew 13% year over year in Q3 2026
   • +Medication delivery is built into the service

   Limitations

   • −Not a general urgent care service for colds, flu or injuries
   • −Prices vary by treatment and were not verifiable from our location
   • −Recurring billing means you pay until you cancel

   SummaryA large, fast-growing choice for subscription care in a few specific categories. Use a general telehealth service for urgent care.

6. 6

   PlushCare

   Virtual-first primary care where you keep the same board-certified doctor, with a monthly family membership and per-visit fees.

   8.0overall

   Virtual-first primary care where you keep the same board-certified doctor, with a monthly family membership and per-visit fees.

   Best forPatients who want an ongoing relationship with one doctor for primary, chronic and mental health care.

   Adoption data

   1.4 millionPlushCare says more than 1.4 million patients have joined its service.

   PlushCare, PlushCare home page (2026): “Join 1.4M+ patients”

   PlushCare suits patients who want a regular doctor rather than whoever is free tonight. You choose a board-certified physician and keep them, with same-day or next-day video appointments in all 50 states and D.C., and unlimited messaging with your care team between visits. The service covers primary care, chronic conditions such as diabetes and asthma, mental health medication and therapy, urgent care and weight management with FDA-approved drugs and prior authorization help. PlushCare says more than 1.4 million patients have joined and shows a 4.9 out of 5 rating from more than 150,000 reviews. Pricing is the catch. The pricing section pairs a $19.99 monthly membership, which covers you and up to 5 family members, with a per-visit fee. Insured patients usually pay less than $30 a visit, and PlushCare accepts more than 65 plans, but patients without insurance pay a flat $129 per visit, the highest cash price we verified. A full refund applies if they cannot treat you, excluding medication and labs.

   Strengths

   • +Continuity: the doctor you start with stays on your case
   • +Accepts 65 plus insurance plans; most insured patients pay under $30
   • +Full refund if PlushCare cannot treat you

   Limitations

   • −$129 self-pay visit is the highest posted cash price here
   • −Membership fee adds $19.99 a month on top of visit fees
   • −Medication and lab costs are not included in the refund promise

   SummaryThe best pick for continuity of care with one doctor. Insured patients get the most from it; the $129 cash visit is steep.

7. 7

   Amwell

   A telehealth platform used by health plans and health systems, with a consumer app for urgent care, therapy, psychiatry, pediatrics and more.

   7.9overall

   A telehealth platform used by health plans and health systems, with a consumer app for urgent care, therapy, psychiatry, pediatrics and more.

   Best forPatients whose health plan offers Amwell and who want to pick a doctor by experience and rating.

   Adoption data

   0.8 millionAmwell reported 0.8 million total visits on its platform in the third quarter of 2026.

   American Well Corporation (SEC Form 8-K, Exhibit 99.1), Amwell Announces Results for the Third Quarter 2026 (2026): “Total visits on the platform were 0.8 million.”

   Amwell is one of the few telehealth companies that reports visit volume in public filings, and that number shows a business in transition. Its third quarter 2026 release counts 0.8 million total visits on the platform, and the company guides to 1.32 million to 1.37 million Amwell Medical Group visits for the full year. For patients, the Amwell app still covers urgent care, therapy, psychiatry, pediatrics, women's health, breastfeeding support, nutrition counseling and second opinions. Before a visit you see a list of available doctors with their experience and ratings, and most visits take about 10 minutes, with the same price at night, on weekends and on holidays. Amwell says telehealth is a covered benefit for more than 75 million members through plans such as United, Anthem, Highmark and many Blue Cross Blue Shield plans. The drawback for cash buyers is that the patient pages we checked show no self-pay price, so we scored value conservatively. Amwell also powers LiveHealth Online, which does post a price.

   Strengths

   • +Publishes visit volume in SEC filings, 0.8 million in Q3 2026
   • +Wide service menu, including breastfeeding support and second opinions
   • +Same price at night, on weekends and on holidays

   Limitations

   • −No public self-pay visit price on the patient pages we checked
   • −Visit price depends on your health plan or employer
   • −Fewer posted program details than Teladoc Health or MDLIVE

   SummaryA broad service menu with real visit data behind it, best used through a health plan. Its missing public cash price weighs on value.

8. 8

   LifeMD

   A membership telehealth service with 24/7 urgent and primary care, $50 cash video visits, labs and weight management programs.

   7.8overall

   A membership telehealth service with 24/7 urgent and primary care, $50 cash video visits, labs and weight management programs.

   Best forUninsured patients who want refills, labs and weight care under one low monthly membership.

   Adoption data

   745KLifeMD says more than 745,000 patients have joined its service.

   LifeMD, LifeMD home page (2026): “Join Over 745K Patients”

   LifeMD works like a low-cost membership doctor's office. LifeMD+ costs $19 a month with no commitment and gives 24/7 access to urgent and primary care, message and video consultations, same-day prescription refills and member pricing on wellness services. Video visits with licensed providers are available within an hour and cost $50 in cash, or your copay if you use insurance, so a year with three visits costs $378 including membership, against $267 at Teladoc's self-pay rate, and the membership pays off mainly for patients who also use its refills, labs and programs. Lab testing runs through Quest Diagnostics or Labcorp and is billed to the patient, though insurance often covers it. LifeMD also runs weight management with branded GLP-1s such as Wegovy and Zepbound, plus women's and men's health programs. The company says more than 745,000 patients have joined, a self-reported figure. The model rewards steady use: if you only need one visit a year, a pay-per-visit service such as Sesame or LiveHealth Online costs less.

   Strengths

   • +$19 monthly membership with no commitment
   • +Video visits cost $50 cash, below Teladoc's $89
   • +Available in all 50 states

   Limitations

   • −Visit, prescription and lab costs come on top of the membership
   • −Lab testing is the patient's responsibility, though often covered by insurance
   • −Adoption figure is self-reported on the website

   SummaryGood value if you use its refills, labs and programs, with a $19 membership and $50 cash visits. Occasional patients should choose a pay-per-visit service.

9. 9

   LiveHealth Online

   A 24/7 video visit service offered through health plans and run on Amwell, with urgent care visits priced at $59 or less.

   7.5overall

   A 24/7 video visit service offered through health plans and run on Amwell, with urgent care visits priced at $59 or less.

   Best forHealth plan members, especially Anthem-affiliated plans, who want a low capped visit price with no monthly fee.

   LiveHealth Online is a simple, low-cost option if your health plan offers it. The site says urgent care visits cost $59 or less, with pricing that varies by health plan or employer, and there is no monthly fee and nothing to pay at sign-up. Board-certified doctors are available 24/7 by video for common problems such as flu, tooth pain, allergies, sore throat, headache, minor rashes, pink eye and skin infections. Beyond urgent care, the service lists primary care, therapy with therapists and psychologists, psychiatry with medication management and allergy care. The site states that LiveHealth Online is offered through an arrangement with Amwell, which provides the telehealth service on behalf of your health plan, so the technology is the same as the Amwell app. The weaknesses are scope and data. It offers fewer services than Teladoc or MDLIVE, and neither LiveHealth Online nor its health plan partner publishes a user or visit count for it, so we scored adoption conservatively.

   Strengths

   • +Visits capped at $59 or less, depending on plan or employer
   • +Free to sign up with no monthly fees
   • +Adds allergy care, which few rivals list

   Limitations

   • −Offered through health plans, so terms depend on your coverage
   • −No published user or visit count
   • −Fewer services than Teladoc or MDLIVE

   SummaryA cheap, no-fee way to see a doctor if your plan includes it, at $59 or less. Its narrow scope and missing usage data keep it lower in the ranking.

10. 10

    Lemonaid

    A cash-pay online doctor's office where a doctor or nurse practitioner reviews a questionnaire and holds a video consult for $75.

    7.1overall

    A cash-pay online doctor's office where a doctor or nurse practitioner reviews a questionnaire and holds a video consult for $75.

    Best forAdults 18 to 74 with a common, non-urgent problem or a prescription renewal who prefer a flat cash fee.

    Lemonaid is a straightforward online doctor's office for adults who would rather pay a flat fee than deal with insurance. A virtual doctor visit costs $75. You fill in a health questionnaire, then a doctor or nurse practitioner reviews it and talks with you by video, and if appropriate sends a prescription to your local pharmacy the same day. Afterward you can message the team with follow-up questions. The service handles colds, coughs, skin problems, allergies, stomach issues, minor infections and some chronic conditions such as high blood pressure and thyroid issues, and it can renew a prescription you got from another office. The limits are clearly stated. Patients under 18 or 75 and older are asked to see someone in person, controlled substances such as Adderall, Xanax and Ambien are not prescribed, and you are still charged for the consult if no medication is prescribed. Lemonaid publishes no patient or visit count, so its adoption score is conservative.

    Strengths

    • +Flat $75 fee posted before you start
    • +Can renew prescriptions written by another doctor
    • +Messaging for follow-up questions is included

    Limitations

    • −Does not treat patients under 18 or 75 and older
    • −No controlled substances such as Adderall or Xanax
    • −You are still charged if no medication is prescribed

    SummaryA clear, flat-fee option at $75 for common problems and prescription renewals. Sesame and LiveHealth Online cost less per visit.
