Doctor on Demand vs WeHealth: Two Telehealth Apps, Two Very Different Approaches to Your Care
Doctor on Demand (now part of Included Health) charges per visit. WeHealth charges one flat monthly rate for a full month of care. Here is how they compare on what matters most.
The Bottom Line
WeHealth wins on value and continuous care — offering month of visits, built-in RPM, chronic care management, and comprehensive sexual health for $47/month. Doctor on Demand (Included Health) is best for patients whose employer provides it as a free benefit and who need occasional preventive care or mental health consultations.
Pricing: Per Visit vs Flat Monthly Rate
| Pricing Detail | Doctor on Demand | WeHealth |
|---|---|---|
| Medical Visit (no insurance) | $89+ per visit | $47/mo — a full month of visits |
| Therapy Session | $129+ per session | Included in monthly plan |
| Psychiatry — Initial | $299 | Included in monthly plan |
| Follow-Up Visit | $89+ per visit | Included in monthly plan |
| Chronic Care Visit | $89+ per visit | Included — with monthly check-ins |
| With Insurance | As low as $0 (copay varies) | Free — most plans accepted |
Doctor on Demand's per-visit costs are in line with other major telehealth brands, but for patients managing ongoing conditions or needing regular care, those individual visit fees accumulate quickly. One month of two medical visits and a therapy session on Doctor on Demand would cost $307+ without insurance. That same care on WeHealth costs $47 total.

Doctor on Demand's integration into Included Health gives it a strong navigation and referral network — it can connect patients with in-network specialists. However, for direct care, WeHealth's all-in-one model offers broader day-to-day services including sexual health, weight management, and continuous monitoring.
The Continuous Care Difference
Doctor on Demand, like most telehealth platforms, is built around the appointment. You feel sick, you book a visit, you get treatment. That model works well for occasional needs, but it leaves gaps in care for patients who need ongoing attention.
WeHealth fills those gaps with a fundamentally different model. Every patient gets a personal care team — doctor, nurse, and care coordinator — that tracks vitals through connected devices, reviews health data in real time, and checks in monthly even when you are feeling fine. This is the kind of proactive care that catches problems early — a blood pressure trend creeping up, glucose levels fluctuating — before they become emergencies.
For patients managing chronic conditions, recovering from a hospital discharge, or working through a weight loss program, this continuous monitoring is not a nice-to-have. It is a fundamental shift in how healthcare works.
