Looking for an alternative to PlushCare? Below are 12 credible competitors, compared by category, pricing and what makes each a fit — including free and lower-cost options.
Circle MedicalTeladoc provides 24/7 video primary care and mental health visits through a large network of doctors, often integrated with employer benefits. It supports general consultations and some chronic care but lacks Circle Medical's hybrid in-person option and explicit ADHD program focus. Pricing relies heavily on insurance or per-visit fees that can exceed Circle Medical's $120 follow-up rate, with less transparent self-pay details for uninsured ADHD patients.
Teladoc HealthTeladoc provides 24/7 video primary care and mental health visits through a large network of doctors, often integrated with employer benefits. It supports general consultations and some chronic care but lacks Circle Medical's hybrid in-person option and explicit ADHD program focus. Pricing relies heavily on insurance or per-visit fees that can exceed Circle Medical's $120 follow-up rate, with less transparent self-pay details for uninsured ADHD patients.
inDineroRo offers telehealth for primary care, weight management, and some ADHD services through its app with at-home testing. It often uses subscription models for ongoing care unlike Circle Medical's fee-per-visit approach, and provides fewer in-person options or broad PPO acceptance.
Amwell delivers on-demand video visits for primary care, urgent needs, and therapy across multiple states. Its platform emphasizes quick access similar to Circle Medical but typically requires membership tiers or higher copays, without the same emphasis on low out-of-pocket ADHD appointments or app simplicity for neurodivergent users.
One MedicalOne Medical offers membership-based primary and virtual care with specialist referrals. Its strength is longitudinal primary relationships, but neurology access remains referral-based rather than direct. Synapticure’s immediate video neurology visits and insurance model without membership fees suit patients seeking specialized care faster.
SynapticureTeladoc Health is a large-scale telehealth platform offering on-demand video visits across dozens of specialties including neurology. Strengths include 24/7 availability, broad insurance acceptance, and mental health add-ons. Compared with Synapticure it lacks dedicated ALS or Parkinson’s care teams, genetic testing coordination, and the same depth of caregiver support integrated into every neurology plan.
Talkspace supplies text and video therapy from licensed counselors, useful for caregiver support. It does not provide neurological diagnosis, prescribing, or disease monitoring. Patients needing both mental health and expert ALS or Parkinson’s management typically choose Synapticure for its integrated medical model.
MDLiveMDLIVE offers video primary care and behavioral health with board-certified providers and insurance billing. While appointment availability is fast, it does not highlight same-day in-person options or Circle Medical's no-membership pricing model, often resulting in variable costs for ADHD medication follow-ups.
Included HealthIncluded Health combines virtual primary care and specialist navigation with an emphasis on complex chronic conditions. It offers care coordination but does not operate a dedicated neurology clinic for ALS or Parkinson’s. Synapticure provides deeper disease-specific expertise and direct video access to movement-disorder neurologists rather than care navigators.
Lemonaid HealthLemonaid provides affordable video visits for primary care, mental health, and prescriptions including ADHD meds at flat rates near $25-95. It lacks Circle Medical's PPO insurance integration and hybrid visit flexibility, making it better for cash-pay users seeking quick refills without app-based care tracking.
Cerebral focuses on mental health and medication management with some overlap into neurological symptoms. While convenient for anxiety or depression tied to chronic illness, it lacks board-certified neurologists experienced in ALS or Alzheimer’s protocols. Synapticure’s combined neurology-plus-behavioral-health approach within one team is more comprehensive for these diagnoses.
K Health uses an AI-assisted app for primary care chats and video visits with doctors, covering ADHD and chronic conditions. Subscription options start at $9/month but can add visit fees, contrasting Circle Medical's transparent per-appointment costs and strong patient feedback on ADHD-specific provider training.
