Free where it matters.
Elite where it goes deeper.
Mental wellness apps in India charge ₹3,000–5,000 a year just to access basic tools. Breathing exercises. Mood tracking. Journals. Things that should never have had a paywall in front of them.
So we kept the core free — and built Elite for those who want more.

Why does AI cost ₹130? A long Buddy conversation can use 5,000–10,000 tokens. Multiply by daily heavy users and AI rates (~$3 per million input tokens, ~$15 per million output), and the math lands here. We'd rather show you the math than hide it behind "premium AI."
Why publish this at all? Because we couldn't find a single wellness app in India that treated users like adults. So we built one.

Miss a day. Miss a week. Sereno doesn't shame you back. We'll be here when you return.
Cancel in 2 taps.
No retention popups. No "are you sure" loops. No friction.
Founder, Sereno With You
Mental wellness in India has a pricing problem.
The apps that are supposed to help you breathe through anxiety, track your moods, and understand your own patterns — they charge ₹3,000 to ₹5,000 a year for tools that should simply exist. Free trial, autocharge after two weeks, the basics locked behind a paywall. Hope you don't check your statement. I know this because I was on the receiving end of it.
I built Sereno to be the thing I kept looking for.
Studio, Orbit, journals, every Vibe character — the whole platform is yours with no card, no trial, no expiry. Every breathing tool, every guided audio session, every CBT exercise, every wellness game. Ten Buddy AI messages every day. That's not a limited version. That's Sereno.
The one thing we charge for is AI at depth: extended AI Buddy access, voice mode, weekly emotional pattern reports, and live sessions with coaches. That costs ₹299/month — and the full breakdown of where that money goes is right here on this page. AI inference, servers, voice APIs, email. All of it. Because if we're asking you to trust us with your mental health data, the least we can do is show you the math.
No ads. No data selling. No wellness industry tricks.
Just the product I needed someone else to build first.
Free where it matters. Paid where it costs us. Never ads.

What's included in the free plan?
Studio tools, Orbit mood tracking, journaling, guided audio, and 10 Buddy messages a day — free with no card. Vibe characters and deeper features are part of Elite.
Why charge for Buddy at all?
Because every Buddy message costs us real money in AI inference. The free tier covers gentle daily check-ins. Elite covers the long, deep conversations.

You drop back to Sereno Core. You keep every journal entry, every mood log, every saved track. Nothing gets locked. Nothing gets deleted. Come back any time.
Will you ever run ads?
No. It's written into our terms of service. If we ever break that promise, you'll have legal grounds to sue us. We mean it that hard.
