Xolace

Key facts: Xolace launched on Product Hunt on November 10, 2026. It is built for the bad days you would not call a mental health problem: say what you are feeling in your own words, and the Fire reflects back what it hears underneath. If you need support right now, Kindling builds three or four supports for today from a shelf of five: Sit with this, Vessa, Xolacers, Lantern and Trusted Bridge. Before anything is written back, every word is checked for risk first: if it looks like a crisis, you see real help instead of a reflection, and Kindling steps aside.

Plans: Free: the mirror is free, always, with reflection whenever you need it within fair-use limits, peer reflections matched by theme, and the last 30 days of timeline. Xolace Plus $59.99 a year (about $5 a month, was $119.88), starting with a 7-day free trial: Kindling up to one set a day, more room to reflect, Trusted Bridge message drafts, full Vessa audio with transcripts, and your full history.

Best for: Anyone carrying a feeling they cannot quite name who wants a private place to reflect. Who should skip it: anyone in crisis, who needs a human professional now, or anyone who wants a clinical therapy app.

Pros

• The mirror is free, always: reflection should not depend on paying
• Every word is risk-checked before anything is written back
• Kindling builds a few supports for today, not a generic list
• Plus is about $5 a month, with a 7-day free trial

Watch out for

• It is not therapy and not a crisis service
• Kindling is limited to one set a day, even on Plus
• The free tier keeps only the last 30 days of timeline
