Why Choose Mena Over Cliniko?
Cliniko is a solid choice for multi-discipline clinics that need generic appointment management. But if you are a psychologist who needs AI-powered clinical tools — automatic notes, session analysis, outcome tracking and EU data storage — Mena was built for you.
Competitive Pricing with More Clinical Value
Starting at €30/month with AI features Cliniko simply does not offer — automatic notes, session transcription and CBT analysis included.
AI-Powered Clinical Tools
Automatic clinical notes, session transcription, CBT analysis and outcome tracking — all in Portuguese. Cliniko has no AI features whatsoever.
Built for Psychologists
Mena is not generic healthcare management software. It is a platform designed specifically for the clinical workflow of psychologists, with psychology templates and tools.
GDPR Compliant with EU Data Storage
All data is stored exclusively in the European Union. Cliniko stores data in Australia, which may raise GDPR compliance concerns for European professionals.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Cliniko and who is it for?
Cliniko is an Australian-origin practice management software popular among physiotherapists, osteopaths and other allied health professionals. While it can be used by psychologists, it lacks psychology-specific features such as CBT analysis, AI clinical notes or crisis detection.
Where is data stored in Cliniko vs Mena?
Cliniko stores data on servers in Australia. Mena stores all data exclusively in the European Union, ensuring full compliance with GDPR and European data protection regulations.
Can I migrate from Cliniko to Mena?
Yes. Mena allows importing patient data from other platforms. Our team can assist you with the migration process to ensure a smooth transition without data loss.
What if my clinic has professionals from multiple disciplines?
If your clinic includes physiotherapists, osteopaths or other professionals besides psychologists, Cliniko may be more suitable for those disciplines. However, for the psychologists on your team, Mena offers AI-powered clinical tools that no other platform provides.
