Best breakup coach to help me get my ex back: four coaches compared by one of them

I’m one of the four. That’s the first thing you should know about any “best breakup coach” list, and the others won’t tell you. Below is what each of us charges, what you get, what the refund terms say, and the one claim on each sales page I wouldn’t trust. Mine included.

The short answer

Nobody is the best at getting your ex back, because your ex decides that and none of us can buy the decision. What a coach can be best at is the stuff you can check before paying: price on the page, refund terms in writing, who actually shows up to the call, and whether they’ll tell you to stop. That’s what the table compares. If you only read one thing here, read the refund column.

The comparison

Hover or tap a price for where the number comes from. Every row links to a full review written under the same rules.

Coach Lee, or “My Ex Back Coach”

If you searched “my ex back coach,” you found Lee Wilson; it’s his domain name. He has the most real background of anyone here: close to two decades inside divorce-prevention nonprofits before going independent in 2017, and a diploma in marriage and family counseling that his own about page is careful to say is not a therapy license. He also hedges in public, which is rare. The problems are commercial. His sales page says $579 a session, Slate reported the same in 2024, and the page where you book shows nothing until checkout. Cancel inside 48 hours and the money is gone. The $59 kit carries an uncited “50,000 breakups reversed” line and a discount that never ends. Full detail in my Coach Lee review.

Chris Seiter

Seiter built the biggest free library in this niche, over a thousand articles plus a podcast, and his $47 course has the cleanest refund wording of anyone: 30 days, “no questions asked.” His coaching is cheaper to start than mine, $275 for an hour on Zoom, but read the fine print: it’s with “one of our experts,” and his team includes a senior coach with assorted certificates and a moderator who writes content. Chris himself lists at $2,000 to $3,000 a month. The page also runs a “12 spots left” counter, and the “70% success rate” on his site turned out to mean seven of his last ten clients, self-reported. More in the Chris Seiter review.

Brad Browning

Browning is the cheap, safe entry point. The Ex Factor is $47 with a 60-day refund handled by ClickBank, the retailer, which means he can’t refuse it. He has a psychology BA from the University of British Columbia and a YouTube channel Slate put at over 600,000 subscribers. He doesn’t do calls. His coaching is unlimited email at $147 a month, replies promised within 72 hours, and the page says plainly “There are no refunds” on that one. The claim I’d skip is the one that “more than 90%” of relationships can be salvaged. No source. It’s on the sales page anyway. Details in the Brad Browning review.

Me, and where a $47 course beats me

I charge $499 for a one-to-one session, and ongoing coaching runs to the mid four figures, quoted after I hear what’s going on rather than off a menu. You get me on every call. I sell no guarantee, I publish no success rate, and a fair number of my calls end with me saying the relationship is done. Refund questions go to [email protected] and you’ll get a direct answer. Whether I’m legit is a fair thing to check; I wrote a page on it with the public record, and the client reviews here are real messages, curated in one direction and disclosed as such.

A $47 course beats me when you need the method and not a person. If the breakup is a week old, you haven’t read anything yet, and you want a structured walk through no contact and rebuilding, Seiter’s or Browning’s course with its refund window is the better buy, and I’d rather you spend $47 than $499 to learn what you could have read. I earn the fee when you already know the plan and keep breaking it, or when your situation has a wrinkle (kids, a shared lease, a rebound, a third breakup with the same person) that no course chapter covers. If you can’t pay $499 without feeling it in your rent, don’t. Whether a breakup coach is worth it at all has my longer answer, and it includes “often, no.”

Breakup coach near me

There isn’t one, for anybody, and that’s fine. Every coach on this page works remotely: Lee and Seiter by video call, Browning by email, me the same way. None of us rents an office you could drive to, and I don’t know a serious ex-back coach who does. The “near me” instinct comes from how you’d find a therapist, where the license is state-based and the couch is real. Coaching has neither, so distance buys you nothing and costs you the whole rest of the market. Search by time zone and by who you can stand to hear from instead.

Breakup coach online free

Most of the method is free, from all of us. Lee’s YouTube channel, which his site puts at over 90 million views, carries his whole approach. Seiter’s site has over a thousand articles and a podcast. Browning’s channel runs to roughly 600 videos. On my side, lover-fighter.com/tools has a No Contact Tracker and a “Will My Ex Come Back” quiz with no account, no email box and no data collection, and the free guides cover no contact, what to text an ex, and the signs an ex will come back. I also have a free training called The Emotional Gravity Blueprint; that one asks for your email first, so it’s free in money and not in inbox. What no one gives away is a human who answers you at 2am. Try the free version for two weeks. If you’re still stuck, that’s the honest signal to pay someone.

Breakup coach for men

Most of the big names sell gender-gated funnels: Browning’s homepage splits you at the door (“Men Click Here” / “Women Click Here”), Seiter’s brand is literally Ex Boyfriend Recovery with a sister site for the other direction. The advice underneath is nearly identical. I coach men and women, and the one thing I’d say to men specifically is that the “attraction coach” products you’ll also find in this search (Kate Spring’s Obsession Method, Corey Wayne’s $1,250 hour) are attraction and general life-coaching products, not ex-back programs, and say so on their own pages.

Breakup coach reviews: where they come from

Nearly every “reviews” page you’ll find for these coaches is hosted by the coach. Lee’s testimonials page is at a URL called coach-lee-reviews. Seiter and Browning publish their own. So do I. The question to ask of all of us is whether the curation is admitted and the method published; mine is on the privacy promise page. The only outside reporting on this market that I know of is Slate’s June 2024 piece, which named Lee, Dan Bacon and me, and argued that the industry repackages free no-contact advice for people at their most vulnerable. My prices have gone up since it ran. I think the piece is about half right; the half it gets wrong is the part where a person who answers the phone is worth nothing.

Also on the market

SimplyTogether, a couple who coach together, sells 50-minute Zoom calls at $240 single or $800 for four, with a full refund on 24 hours’ notice, and a $67 Ex Back Program with a 14-day refund on their own site and 30 days on their Teachable page; take the shorter number. Their credential is their own reconciliation story. Natalia Juarez at Lovistics is ICF-certified and trained in attachment theory, the only ICF credential on this page; she does not publish prices, so you’ll book a 20-minute consult to find out. Clay Andrews’ Ex Solution Program page says it is shutting down, so I’d skip it. Corey Wayne is $1,250 an hour for general life coaching, not an ex-back specialist. Trina Leckie at $119 a call was the cheapest live option on my cost page as of August 20. I haven’t used any of them and I’m not rating them.

When to hire nobody

If you aren’t sleeping, can’t work, are drinking to cope, or have had any thought of hurting yourself, you need a therapist, not a coach, and none of us has a license to lose. In the US, call or text 988. If the relationship involved abuse, the question isn’t which coach gets them back. And if the breakup is days old, silence is free and most plans don’t survive the first week anyway. Every coach on this page, me included, makes money from your urgency. Wait it out before you spend on any of us.

Who is the best breakup coach to get your ex back?

There isn’t one best, and anyone who tells you otherwise is selling you their own name. Pick by the thing you can verify: the price on the page, the refund terms, and who actually takes the call. Coach Lee has the deepest background and the highest price. Chris Seiter has the cheapest entry point and the clearest refund. Brad Browning is the cheapest overall and the only one with a retailer-backed guarantee. I charge $499 and will tell you when your situation is over. Start with whoever’s free material you can stand to listen to for an hour.

Is there a breakup coach near me?

Almost certainly not, and it doesn’t matter. Every coach on this page works by Zoom, phone or email, including me. None of them has an office you’d drive to. The upside is you get to choose from the whole market instead of whoever rents a room in your town. Your search for “near me” should become a search for time zones and availability.

Can I get a breakup coach online for free?

You can get most of the method free. Coach Lee, Chris Seiter and Brad Browning each publish hundreds of free videos or articles covering no contact and rebuilding. I publish free guides and a no-sign-up No Contact Tracker and quiz at lover-fighter.com/tools. What nobody gives away free is a person who answers when you’re about to text at 2am. That’s the part people pay for, and it’s fair to try the free version for two weeks first.

Which coach is cheapest to actually talk to?

Among the four compared here, Chris Seiter’s team at $275 an hour, though the page says “one of our experts,” so it may not be Chris. Coach Lee’s junior coach, Coach Rex, was $137 a session when I checked his site on August 20. Brad Browning doesn’t sell calls at all; his coaching is email, $147 a month. I’m $499 a session. If talking is what you need and money is tight, the $137 and $275 options are the honest starting points.

Do you make money recommending any of these coaches?

No. There are no affiliate links on this page or anywhere on this site. I make money when someone hires me, which is the bias you should read this with, and it’s why every competitor fact here links to their own page so you can check it without trusting me.
