Kry Alternative UK: See a GP Online Without an App
Looking for a Kry alternative? The most direct UK alternative is The Online GP by The Wellness: same-day phone and video consultations with GMC-registered doctors, booked on the web in about two minutes, with no app to download and every price published. Phone consultations are £59 for 15 minutes, video consultations are £150 for 30 minutes, and in-person appointments at our Marylebone clinic (10 Portman Square, London) are £220.
Why patients look for a Kry alternative
Kry (formerly Livi in the UK) is a large, legitimate telehealth provider, and for many people it works well. Patients usually start comparing alternatives for a few practical reasons:
The app requirement. Kry consultations run inside the Kry app. If you want to book from a browser, or you do not want to install and maintain an app to see a doctor, a web-first service is simpler.
Price transparency. Kry does not publish prices on its main website. Its pay-as-you-go GP appointment currently costs £60 according to its support pages (checked October 2026). We publish every price on our site.
Access to in-person care. Kry is video-only. If your consultation turns out to need a physical examination, blood tests, imaging, or a procedure, you start again somewhere else. The Online GP is backed by The Wellness clinic at 10 Portman Square, so an online consult can step up to an in-person appointment, diagnostics, or a referral within the same practice.
Continuity. With a doctor-led private practice you can see the same clinical team again, rather than the next available clinician in a pool.
A fair summary of what Kry offers
To be clear about what you are comparing:
NHS route: if you are registered with one of Kry's partner NHS GP practices, your Kry appointment can be free on the NHS. That is a genuinely good option if your practice is partnered and you are happy to wait for an NHS-slot appointment.
Pay-as-you-go route: a video consultation in the Kry app, currently £60 (support.kry.co.uk, October 2026).
Availability seven days a week, with prescriptions, sick notes and referrals included in the appointment where clinically appropriate.
Kry is CQC-rated and its UK service is run by an established digital healthcare provider.
If the free NHS route is available to you and speed is not the priority, it is a reasonable choice. The comparison below is for patients paying privately.
Kry vs The Online GP, side by side
Booking: Kry requires its app (iOS/Android). The Online GP books on the web, no app, no account software to install.
Price published on the website: Kry, no. The Online GP, yes - £59 phone, £150 video, £220 in person.
Consultation types: Kry is video only. The Online GP offers phone (£59, 15 minutes), video (£150, 30 minutes) and in-person at 10 Portman Square (£220).
What happens after the consult: Kry can issue prescriptions, sick notes and referrals. The Online GP does the same, and can also continue your care in person: blood tests, imaging, health checks, and downstream clinic services at The Wellness.
Employer letters, medical reports and fit notes: available from both; ours are issued same day by the consulting doctor.
When you can be seen: both offer same-day appointments seven days a week, subject to availability.
Who each service suits
Kry suits you if your NHS practice is partnered with them (making appointments free), you are comfortable using an app, and your needs are straightforward one-off video consultations.
The Online GP suits you if you want to book in a browser, want to know the exact price before you book, prefer the option of a phone consultation, or want an online doctor who can also see you in person and run diagnostics under one roof.

Can I get a prescription or sick note? Yes, where clinically appropriate, exactly as with Kry. Prescriptions are sent to your nominated pharmacy; sick notes and letters are issued same day.
Is The Online GP regulated? Yes. Consultations are with GMC-registered doctors, and care is delivered from our CQC-registered London clinic.
