7 Cups

7 Cups (7cups.com) is an on-demand emotional health and online therapy service founded in 2013 and backed by Y Combinator. It connects people seeking support with a network of trained volunteer listeners for free, anonymous one-on-one chat, and matches members with licensed therapists and social workers for paid online therapy delivered by messaging, audio, or video. The platform also runs peer community forums, group support chat rooms, and self-help "growth path" content. 7 Cups operates across 189 countries in 140 languages with hundreds of thousands of trained listeners. It is a consumer web and mobile product rather than an API-first developer platform; this profile is maintained in the API Evangelist network as a company record and carries no public API at this time.

7 Cups is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Mental Health, Online Therapy, Emotional Support, and Counseling.

7 Cups’ developer surface includes support, signup flow, pricing, and 12 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Health regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/7cups: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts. Want it done for you? Prioritized profiling — $2,500 →
