- You want hypnosis written around your own situation rather than a fixed program.

1. Hypnothera
Best for original sessions written around your goal, your words, your chosen voice, and your session length
You describe what you want in your own words; Hypnothera writes an original script (induction, deepening, suggestions, return), voices it with the voice you pick, and mixes in background sound.
Worth noting
- Premium includes 200 credits per month and sessions up to 90 minutes
- Full voice library plus a personal voice clone on Premium
- Edit any script by hand on every plan; Premium adds Magic Enhance, Regenerate, and follow-ups
- Can be connected to ChatGPT and Claude
Consider
- Fewer public App Store ratings than long-established hypnosis apps
- Long sessions use more credits on the free plan
- Not a substitute for care from a licensed professional
2. InTheMoment
Best for short daily AI sessions with a usable free tier
Generates hypnosis sessions from what you tell it, with script editing (by hand or with AI) and follow-up sessions on Pro.
Worth noting
- Pro: 5 sessions per day, up to 45 minutes
- Pro lists 18 languages and offline downloads
- Custom techniques on Pro
Consider
- Daily session caps on both free and Pro
- Prices shown in GBP on the page we checked
3. Reveri
Best for people who want an AI guide built on one researcher's method (Dr. David Spiegel)
You describe what is going on in your own words and Reveri's AI guides a roughly ten-minute session based on Dr. David Spiegel's approach. Includes a hypnotizability test.
Worth noting
- Based on Dr. David Spiegel's hypnosis method
- About 4.5K App Store ratings at 4.5 stars when checked
- Short sessions designed for daily use
Consider
- Sessions follow one method rather than a script written from scratch
- Monthly price is higher than most AI-generation apps
4. HypnoBox
Best for a large modular library you assemble yourself
Builds sessions from 600+ pre-recorded modules you select and combine, rather than writing a new script with AI.
Worth noting
- 600+ modules
- About 1.2K App Store ratings at 4.7 stars when checked
Consider
- Sessions are combinations of pre-recorded parts, not written around your words
5. Drift Inward
Best for hands-on users who want to choose each hypnosis component
Generates fresh 10 to 13 minute sessions (sleep sessions run 18 to 24 minutes). You pick the style, trance depth, induction, deepener, ending, and techniques, and it can draw on your journal context.
Worth noting
- Detailed control over session structure
- Journal memory for context
Consider
- Session length mostly fixed by type
- Free-tier details differ across their pages; check before buying
6. Quies
Best for pay-per-session buyers who don't want a subscription
You set your emotional state with sliders and a mood grid, and Quies writes an Ericksonian-style self-hypnosis session of about 15 to 20 minutes.
Worth noting
- No subscription required
- Purchased sessions never expire
Consider
- Input is mood-based rather than a free-text goal
- Fixed session length range

Which Mochi Zen alternative is best for weight goals?
