How much does neurofeedback cost to do at home?
Firstly the QEEG only costs $385 and it is done once, as changes in EEG progress are monitored weekly.
Secondly there is a one-off cost of $285 for the handover where you are shown how to use the software and set up the neurofeedback device for training.
In total the start-up costs are only $670.
The ongoing costs are $465 per month for the hire of the equipment and 1 hour of phone supervision (15 minutes phone call each week).
You are supported with as much time as you need or want and if it is more than the hour per month it’s billed at the rate of $165 per hour down to 1 minute intervals. Some people choose to hire a laptop with the software installed and hardware configured for $60 per month.

Home Neurofeedback Cost Vs Clinic cost
When you train in the privacy of your own home, not only can you train when it is convenient for you but you can do as many sessions per week and for as long per session as you need or want. The more you do the faster you get results and the further you can go with healing and peak performance.
If you go to a clinic the start-up costs are between $750 and $1500 for an assessment including a QEEG. Session costs are between $100 and $270 for 30 to 40 minutes of training. If you do 40 sessions the cost of neurofeedback would be $4000 to $10800 plus start-up costs of $750 to $1500. Some practitioners do several more QEEGs at additional cost to check progress as they don’t check as they train you. This doesn’t take into account the time and costs for fuel, etc, traveling to and from a clinic.
At one session per week it would take almost a year to complete 40 sessions and you may need a lot more. If you did 2 sessions per week in a clinic it would costs you between $200 and $540 per week or $800 and $2160 per month. Compare this to home training at $450 per month doing the same amount of sessions you would save $350 to $1710 per month. If you did more than 3 sessions per week at home you are getting even more value. Again if you think about the time and fuel costs for traveling to a clinic there are even more savings in time and money. Another way of comparing home and clinic costs (apart from the start-up cost) is looking at one session per week. In a clinic this would be $100 to $270 and at home it would be $150, however the session length could be up to an hour and a half if you wanted and not merely 30 to 40 minutes in a clinic.
