To get a massage therapist to come to your home, you can book through an on-demand app, find an independent mobile therapist through a directory, or ask a local spa that offers house calls. Apps are the fastest; independent therapists suit people who want the same therapist on a regular schedule.
Bigtoe publishes this guide and is one of the apps below. Details about other companies come from their public pages as of October 2026.
On-demand massage apps
These send a licensed therapist with a table, linens and oils to your home, hotel or office, often the same day.
- Bigtoe: in 40+ US cities, seven days a week. The lowest all-in price of the major apps in our check: $119.99 for 60 minutes in most cities, including Los Angeles and Miami, tip included, with no booking fee or membership. Offers Swedish, deep tissue, sports, reflexology, couples, prenatal and postnatal massage, plus routine and post-op lymphatic massage. Also handles events and office massage.
- Zeel: in 120+ US cities, with bookings from 8am to 10:30pm and arrival in as little as an hour. Adds an 18% tip automatically plus a $4.95 booking fee ($168.97 for 60 minutes in Los Angeles and Miami in our check), and offers membership plans with lower rates.
- Soothe: in dozens of US metros, with bookings from 8am to 10pm. Offers lymphatic and myofascial massage, plus facials and other spa services. Charges a $4.95 booking fee and suggests a 20% tip ($195.75 in Los Angeles and $201.75 in Miami for 60 minutes in our check).
- Blys: an Australian-founded app that offers in-home massage in some US cities.
Directories of independent therapists
MassageBook and the AMTA "Find a Massage Therapist" directory list independent therapists, many of whom do house calls (often called outcall or mobile massage). You book and pay the therapist directly. This works well if you want one regular therapist, but you vet them yourself, and same-day availability is less common.
How to choose
- Check coverage first. Enter your exact address in each app; availability varies within a metro area.
- Compare the total price. Some prices include the tip, some add it automatically, and some leave it to you.
- Look for license and insurance checks. A good service verifies state licenses and requires liability insurance.
- Decide whether a membership makes sense. It lowers the per-session price only if you book often.
- Match the service to the need. Post-op lymphatic, prenatal and couples massage are not offered by every app.
What an in-home massage costs
Compare totals including the tip and booking fees. In our October 2026 check of a 60-minute massage booked for the next day, Bigtoe came to $119.99 all in for Los Angeles and Miami ($99.99 plus the standard 20% tip) and $131.99 in Washington, DC. Zeel came to $168.97 to $192.57 and Soothe to $195.75 to $201.75, each including its tip and a $4.95 booking fee. Same-day bookings usually cost more.
Couples massage is priced per person, and longer sessions usually cost less per minute.
Getting ready for your therapist
- Clear a space about 7 by 10 feet for the table.
- Have parking or building access details ready.
- Keep pets out of the room.
- Your therapist brings the table, fresh linens and oils.
Frequently asked questions
Is there an Uber for massage?
Yes. On-demand apps such as Bigtoe, Zeel and Soothe send a licensed massage therapist to your home, hotel or office, often on the same day.
Is it safe to have a massage therapist come to my home?
Book through a service that verifies state licenses and requires insurance. Bigtoe checks every therapist's license against state boards, lets you choose the therapist's gender, and masks phone numbers on both sides.
Do I need a massage table?
No. Therapists bring their own table, linens and oils.
Can I book the same therapist again?
With Bigtoe, yes: after your first session you can request the same therapist again, subject to their availability.
