How Much Does an ADHD Coach Cost?
If you have priced ADHD coaching, you have seen the number: $88 to $250 an hour, paid out of pocket. What the price tag does not tell you is how little of that coach you get. One hour a week. The other six days, when you are stuck, the coach is not there. Before you pay for an hour, look at what that hour really buys.

What that hour actually gets you
One session a week, 30 to 60 minutes. Maybe one text check-in in between. That is 2 to 4 hours of your coach a month, and the hard part of ADHD is not the hour you sit in a session. It is Tuesday at 2pm, when you cannot start. Your coach is not there for that. You are paying for an hour and hoping it holds for a week.
What you get with Get Up and Flow
Your coach is with you every workday, 8am to 5pm Eastern. A 30-minute Jump Start call each morning to plan your day. A reminder before each commitment. Up to two 15-minute Bonus Time calls when you stall. A 15-minute Retro at the end of the day. That is up to 75 live minutes every workday, about 1,500 minutes a month, with one coach who knows your week. It costs $200 a week or $750 a month.
Price it the way that matters: per minute with your coach
Here is each provider’s public price divided by the minutes you actually spend with the coach in a month, assuming four sessions a month, the same way the Life Skills Advocate comparison does. Prices are as of July to October 2026 and change often, so check each provider’s page.
| Provider | What you pay | Minutes with your coach a month | Cost per minute |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shimmer (one 30-minute video call a week, plus texting) | $230 a month | About 120 | About $1.90 |
| Typical US coach, one 60-minute session a week (Science Works Health) | $475–$675 a month | About 240 | About $2.00–$2.80 |
| Beyond BookSmart (45-minute sessions from $124) | About $496 a month | About 180 | About $2.75 |
| Untapped Learning (one hour a week) | $583–$717 a month | About 240 | About $2.40–$3.00 |
| Life Skills Advocate ($220 per 50-minute session) | About $880 a month | About 200 | About $4.40 |
| Get Up and Flow, Full Support (your coach, every workday) | $200 a week or $750 a month | Up to about 1,500 | About $0.50 |
You pay about what you would pay a good weekly coach. You get 6 to 12 times as much of your coach. Per live hour, that is about $30, where everyone else on this list charges $88 to $250.
Why a weekly session costs more than its sticker
When you pay $200 for an hour, you are also paying for the six days it has to cover. The problems you came in with (starting, switching tasks, finishing) happen on those days, and the coach is not there. So the real price of one weekly session is the hour plus every day it fails to reach. Daily coaching puts the help on the day you need it, so there is nothing to stretch.
Try it for a week
Full Support is $200 a week, with a full money-back guarantee on your first week, or $750 a month. No contract. Cancel anytime. Your coach holds a graduate degree in psychology and works under our Chief Clinical Officer, a psychiatrist. If one week does not change your workdays, you get your money back.

Does insurance cover ADHD coaching?
No. ADHD coaching is paid out of pocket; ADDitude reports fewer than 5% of coaches accept insurance. Some people use FSA or HSA money with a letter from their own doctor; that depends on your plan, so ask your administrator first. Coaching is not therapy or medical care, and coaches are not licensed clinicians, which is why you should ask any provider about training and clinical oversight.
