Who Each Platform Is For

Clinical or psychiatric needs — If you need diagnosis, medication management, or structured psychotherapy for a clinical condition, Amaha, Practo, or mPower are the right choice. These platforms connect you with licensed professionals.

Just need to talk — If you are carrying emotional weight — relationship stress, family pressure, work burnout, loneliness, anxiety — and you need a real human being to talk to right now, without a subscription or an appointment, that is exactly what LeanOn is built for. From ₹160, anonymous, available now.

LeanOn does not compete with clinical platforms. It fills a different gap: the everyday emotional weight that does not need a psychiatrist but does need a real person.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happened to InnerHour?
InnerHour rebranded to Amaha (also called YourSpace) in 2022. Amaha shifted focus to corporate wellness and the premium segment, with subscription plans starting at ₹2,500/month. The original InnerHour self-help app is largely discontinued.
Is Amaha good?
Amaha is good for what it is — corporate-sponsored therapy access with licensed professionals. If your employer offers it or you can afford the ₹2,500–₹12,000/month range, it is a solid clinical option. If you want something immediate and affordable, LeanOn starts at ₹160 per session.
What is the difference between a therapist and a peer listener?
A therapist is a licensed professional who can diagnose and treat conditions. A peer listener has lived experience and is trained to listen without judgment — not to diagnose or prescribe. Therapists on Amaha or Practo are for clinical needs. LeanOn peer listeners are for everyday emotional support.
When should I choose peer support over therapy?
Choose peer support when you need to be heard, process a difficult situation, or get perspective from someone with lived experience. Choose therapy when you need clinical diagnosis or structured treatment. Many people use both.
Is LeanOn free to browse?
Yes. Browsing listener profiles is completely free. You only pay when you start a session. The first 5 minutes of every session are also free.
