Soleil vs Relish
Relish gives you a coach. Soleil gives you a rhythm. Both have their place.
Relish is a coaching-first app — you message a human relationship coach plus get lessons. It's powerful and pricey. Soleil is a practice-first app — a daily rhythm both partners do together, plus an AI guide and a guided repair flow, at a fraction of the cost.
Relish offers 1-on-1 messaging with a human relationship coach plus structured lessons and quizzes. Premium positioning.

The honest take
Pick Relish if you want a human coach and the budget for it. Pick Soleil if you want both partners showing up daily, a real after-the-fight tool, and the change to come from your own consistent rhythm — at one-sixth the price.
No — and we don't pretend it is. Maître is a reflective guide trained on EFT, NVC, Gottman, and Polyvagal frameworks. For clinical care or active crisis, see a licensed therapist or coach. Soleil supports the daily practice between sessions.
Relish includes a human coach's time, which is expensive. Soleil includes an AI guide, daily rhythm, repair tool, and full content library — at $12.99/mo, both partners covered.
Yes — many couples do. The daily Sunbeam, Repair Room, and Memory Garden give you something to bring back to your therapist, and keep practice consistent between sessions.
