BetterHelp is the undisputed market leader in direct-to-consumer online therapy, generating over $1B in annual revenue and serving millions of users. The project demonstrates exceptional Real-World Utility and Audience Reach. However, the submission quality was notably poor (lazy fields), and the platform faces ongoing trust challenges regarding data privacy (2023 FTC settlement). Despite these caveats, the verifiable scale and traction justify a 'Unicorn' tier score.
