No reservations
When VRET, when C2Care, when neither.
This is what we say on the demo. We put it in the open here too, so you decide with the right information.
When C2Care is the right choice
If your clinical work today centers on PTSD (military or civilian), addictions (alcohol, tobacco), or eating disorders, C2Care covers it and VRET doesn’t yet. If your practice has a comfortable budget, values a broad catalog over responsiveness, and can wait 1–3 months to start, C2Care fits. We say it plainly: if the call shows that’s your case, we tell you.
When VRET is the right choice
Your work is specific phobias + relaxation + anticipatory anxiety (roughly 70% of routine private practice). You want clinician-led support with a licensed psychologist behind it. Your practice has 2–4 headsets or plans to grow. You want a no-conditions guarantee to take the risk. You want to go live in under 24 hours, not a three-month project.
When neither is the right fit
If you only need mindfulness or relaxation without structured clinical exposure, both are overkill — cheaper consumer apps do that. If you need certified medical-device status for public tenders, none of the platforms available today carry it — the right move is to wait.
Honest questions from switchers
What clinicians coming from C2Care ask
What if VRET shuts down the way Psious disappeared overnight?
Fair question, answered without spin. (1) Contractually: the right to export all your data under GDPR, plus 90 days of transition support if we shut down. (2) Your data is yours — protocols, sessions, and anxiety levels export in an open format whenever you want, no permission required. (3) We learned from Psious: if VRET were acquired or wound down, the contract guarantees the window to take everything with you. It’s in the data agreement, not a FAQ.
How does C2Care’s PTSD/addictions catalog compare with VRET?
C2Care clearly beats us. It covers PTSD (military and civilian), addictions (alcohol, tobacco, substances), eating disorders, and a wide range of specific phobias with clinically validated scenarios and peer-reviewed publications. VRET isn’t there in 2026. Published roadmap: PTSD in Q1 2027 and addictions in Q2 2027, subject to a customer vote. If your practice depends on those scenarios today, we recommend C2Care on the call, with no arrangement or commission.
Do you have any arrangement or commission with C2Care?
No. Zero commissions, paid recommendations, or commercial arrangements. If a call shows your clinical work is in PTSD/addictions (where C2Care beats us), we recommend C2Care directly, with no compensation involved.
If I switch from C2Care to VRET, what happens to my data?
C2Care lets you export your patient data, as GDPR requires. We help you read it into VRET. The Clinic plan includes free migration of your prior clinical protocols (hierarchies, historical anxiety data, templates).
My team is trained on C2Care. How long does VRET take to learn?
A 90-minute onboarding per clinician plus a quick-start guide. VRET’s interface is deliberately simpler. A clinician with prior C2Care experience is fully operational in VRET in about a week.
