Astha

FAQ

Everything you're wondering

Honest answers about what Astha is, what it isn't, and how it fits your life.

We're in final development and testing now, and we'll share a launch date here and on our social channels as soon as it's set. Have a specific question? Write to us at [email protected].

Only licensed professionals whose degrees, registrations and experience we verify before they're listed. Each expert has a public profile in the app with their credentials, specialties, experience and ratings from real users.

Launch pricing starts at ৳599 for a 30-minute chat session, ৳899 for 30-minute video, and ৳1,299–1,499 for 50-minute audio or video sessions. Early users will get founding discounts.

No — and it's designed never to pretend to be. Irisha offers companionship, coping support and monitoring, and is built to guide you toward licensed human professionals when you need more. In a crisis, Irisha always points you to real, urgent help.

Yes. Your chats, mood data and session notes are encrypted and confidential. Nothing is sold, nothing is shared without your explicit permission, and you can delete your data anytime from the app.

Bangla comes first because it's who we build for — but the entire app and Irisha work in English too, and you can switch languages anytime.

At launch: No Reels & Adult Content, Adult Content Reduction, Social Media Reduction, Game Control, Sleep Schedule and Study Battle — each with streaks, points, milestone awards and a supportive community.

Not at all. The community is entirely optional and can be anonymous. Many members start by just reading — and that's perfectly welcome.

Android first at launch, with iOS following shortly after. The core experience is designed for your phone, where life actually happens.

Astha is not an emergency service. If you're in immediate danger, please contact your local emergency number or a trusted person right now. The national mental health helpline and organizations like Kaan Pete Roi offer urgent support in Bangladesh.
