Mena vs Eholo
Two Iberian platforms, two tax authorities
Eholo is a Spanish platform for psychologists with real AI — automatic transcription, clinical summaries and the MIA assistant — and invoices filed directly to Spain's AEAT under VeriFactu. Mena is built for Portugal, files to the Autoridade Tributária, works in European Portuguese, and includes clinical AI in every plan rather than only the top one. Neither serves the other's country's fiscal requirements.
The short answer
Choose by country before you choose by feature. Eholo files invoices to Spain's AEAT and states nothing about Portuguese tax obligations; Mena files to Portugal's Autoridade Tributária and claims nothing in Spain. Both products ship genuine AI clinical documentation, so that is not the dividing line — the dividing line is which tax authority you answer to, and, secondarily, whether you want AI in the entry plan or only in the top one.
Choose Mena if
- You practise in Portugal. Eholo's invoicing pages never mention the Autoridade Tributária, SAF-T or ATCUD.
- You want AI documentation from the entry plan. On Eholo it is Premium-only, at €79.90 per month.
- You work in European Portuguese. Eholo publishes a Castellano and English product.
- You need a stated EU data-residency commitment for your records.
Choose Eholo if
- You practise in Spain. VeriFactu and TicketBAI filing to the AEAT is exactly what you are required to do.
- You want third-party certified security: Eholo holds ISO/IEC 27001 from Applus+, which Mena does not.
- You want the lowest entry price and do not need AI: Estándar is €32.90 per month.
- You value the Spanish professional ecosystem — Colegios Oficiales endorsements, an extensive resource library and calculators.

Criterion by criterion
What each platform actually does
Eholo is the most capable competitor in this comparison set and the closest to Mena in ambition. The differences are real but narrower than with any other vendor here.
| Criterion | Mena.ai | Eholo |
|---|---|---|
| AI clinical documentationGenuine parity on capability. Read the next row for the catch. | Records and transcribes the session, drafts the clinical note, and organises the themes and thinking patterns you confirm — each tied to the quote it came from. | MIA transcribes sessions automatically and generates clinical histories, in Eholo's own words, 'en segundos'. It also produces a detailed summary of each session with suggested next steps. |
| Which plan the AI sits onThe commercially significant difference, not the capability itself. | Included in every paid plan, from €39.99 per month. There is no AI tier and no AI add-on. | Session transcription, clinical summary and the MIA assistant are listed under Premium only, at €79.90 per month. The €32.90 and €54.90 tiers do not include them. |
| Portuguese fiscal complianceDecisive if you practise in Portugal. | Fiscal documents are generated through Cegid Vendus, an AT-certified provider, and communicated to the Autoridade Tributária portal automatically. A tiered add-on from €14.99 per month. | Not stated. Portugal does not appear anywhere on Eholo's electronic-invoicing page — no Autoridade Tributária, no AT, no SAF-T, no ATCUD. |
| Spanish fiscal complianceThe exact mirror. Eholo wins this as clearly as Mena wins the row above. | Not offered. Mena's invoicing is built for Portuguese requirements and claims no Spanish capability. | 'VeriFactu permite enviar las facturas directamente a la AEAT. Con Eholo al hacer la factura definitiva, se enviará automáticamente.' Invoices carry the mandatory QR code, and TicketBAI is supported. |
| Security credentialsEholo has the stronger third-party credential; Mena the stronger residency statement. | Field-level AES-256 encryption for health data, per-tenant keys, TLS 1.3 in transit, immutable audit logs, and data stored in the EU. No ISO certification. | Eholo Psicología SL holds an information-security management system certified to ISO/IEC 27001 by Applus+ — the strongest independent credential of any vendor we have compared. It publishes no data-residency or hosting-location commitment. |
| LanguageMatters for the clinical note, not only the interface. | Interface and clinical AI both operate in European Portuguese, alongside English, Spanish, French, German and Italian. | Castellano and English. No Portuguese interface is published, and the languages MIA supports are not stated. |
| Practice managementBroadly comparable; Eholo's commission handling is the notable extra. | Scheduling, built-in video sessions, patient portal, reminders, billing and validated questionnaires, built around the clinical workflow. | Calendar and public agenda, secure video calls, patient histories, informed consents, auto-corrected questionnaires, automatic and WhatsApp reminders, Eholo Pay, and commission management between professionals and centres. |

What it costs
Pricing, both sides, in full
Both vendors publish their prices. Figures exclude VAT and are as published on 26 August 2026, with promotional discounts excluded on both sides so the comparison is like for like.
| Plan | Price | What it includes |
|---|---|---|
| Essential | €39.99/mo | Scheduling, video sessions, patient portal, billing, and the full clinical AI suite — recording, transcription, drafted notes, session themes and cross-session memory. No patient cap. |
| Intelligent | €79.99/mo | Everything in Essential, plus the advanced tooling for growing practices and small teams. |
| Enterprise | Custom | For clinics and organisations needing custom integrations, on request. |
| Plan | Price | What it includes |
|---|---|---|
| Estándar | €32.90/mo | 20 active patients, email reminders, manual invoicing, 5 GB storage, individual consent forms. No AI. |
| Avanzado | €54.90/mo | 60 active patients, 1 SMS reminder, automatic month-end invoicing, public calendar, 15 GB storage, questionnaires. Still no AI. |
| Premium | €79.90/mo | Unlimited patients, 2 SMS reminders, 2 TB storage, statistics, and the AI: session transcription, clinical summary and the MIA assistant. |
- The AI comparison is €39.99 against €79.90
- Eholo's headline €32.90 is a fair entry price, but it buys a product with no AI and a 20-patient cap. To get transcription, clinical summaries and MIA you need Premium at €79.90 per month. Mena includes the equivalent capability at €39.99 with no patient cap, so on the capability actually being compared Mena is roughly half the price. On practice management alone, Eholo is cheaper.
- Adding colleagues
- Eholo charges €20 per month for each additional professional, on every plan. Mena prices by practice tier, with team tooling in the higher plans and Enterprise for larger organisations. For a two- or three-person practice, price both properly rather than comparing headline figures.
- Mena's invoicing is an add-on; Eholo's is included
- Eholo includes electronic invoicing under TicketBAI and VeriFactu on all tiers. Mena's Portuguese fiscal invoicing is a tiered add-on: €14.99 per month for up to 170 documents, €49.99 per month for unlimited. On this specific point Eholo's packaging is the better deal — for a Spanish practice.
- Annual billing on both sides
- Eholo's annual billing takes 10% off, giving €29.90, €49.90 and €71.90 per month. Mena's annual billing saves 20%, bringing Essential to €31.99 per month (€383.90 per year) and Intelligent to €63.99 per month (€767.90 per year).
Mena prices from mena-ai.pt/pricing. Eholo prices from eholo.health/precios-eholo. Eholo was running a 50% discount on the first three months when read; that promotion is excluded here.
Two approaches
Two platforms built for two countries
Eholo is the Spanish market's psychology platform, with certified security and AEAT filing. Mena is built for Portuguese practice, with AT filing, European Portuguese throughout, and clinical AI in every plan.
Eholo strengths for the Spanish market:
- Automatic filing of invoices to the AEAT under VeriFactu, plus TicketBAI support
- Real shipped AI: automatic transcription, clinical summaries and the MIA assistant
- ISO/IEC 27001 information-security certification from Applus+
- Endorsements from Spanish Colegios Oficiales de Psicólogos, Cruz Roja and Psicólogos sin Fronteras
- An extensive free library of guides, templates, webinars and practice calculators
Mena excels at:
- Portuguese fiscal documents generated and filed with the Autoridade Tributária portal automatically
- Clinical AI included in every paid plan rather than reserved for the top tier
- Cross-session clinical memory that surfaces your notes when you need them
- European Portuguese across both the interface and the clinical AI
- A stated EU data-storage commitment, with per-tenant keys
The honest part
When Eholo is the better choice
Eholo is the most capable competitor on this site and, for a large class of psychologists, the right purchase. Saying so is not a courtesy — it is the only way this page is worth reading.
- You practise in Spain
- This is decisive and nothing else on the page outweighs it. Eholo files invoices directly to the AEAT under VeriFactu, supports TicketBAI, and generates them with a tamper-evident system under article 29.2.j of the Ley General Tributaria. Mena claims no Spanish fiscal capability at all and is not building one. If your obligations are to the Agencia Tributaria, buy Eholo.
- Your risk assessment requires certification
- Eholo Psicología SL holds an information-security management system certified to ISO/IEC 27001 by Applus+. That is an independent, audited credential, and it is the strongest one held by any vendor we compare against — Mena does not have an equivalent. If you work with an institution whose procurement asks for a certificate rather than a description, Eholo can produce one and Mena cannot.
- You want practice management without the AI
- Eholo's Estándar plan is €32.90 per month against Mena's €39.99, and it includes electronic invoicing rather than charging for it separately. If AI documentation is not what you are buying — you write your notes quickly, or you would rather not record sessions at all — then you are comparing €32.90 with €39.99 and Eholo is simply cheaper.
- You want the Spanish professional ecosystem
- Eholo is endorsed by Spanish Colegios Oficiales de Psicólogos, Cruz Roja and Psicólogos sin Fronteras, and publishes an extensive free library of guides, templates, webinars and practice calculators. For a psychologist embedded in that professional community, the surrounding ecosystem is a real part of the product and Mena has no Spanish equivalent of it.
If you practise in Portugal, the case for Mena is the one the tables above make: fiscal documents filed with the Autoridade Tributária, European Portuguese in the interface and the clinical AI, and that AI included from €39.99 rather than reserved for a €79.90 tier. If you practise in Spain, none of that helps you and Eholo is the better product.
When Mena fits
Why Portuguese psychologists choose Mena
Eholo is a strong product and the better buy for a Spanish practice. For a psychologist working in Portugal, the fiscal and language gaps are structural rather than cosmetic.
- Built for the Portuguese tax regime
- Fiscal documents are generated through the AT-certified Cegid Vendus and communicated to the Autoridade Tributária portal automatically. Eholo's compliance work is Spanish and does not transfer.
- Clinical depth beyond the transcript
- Mena organises the themes and thinking patterns you confirm, each tied to its quote, and carries clinical memory between sessions rather than treating each session as a fresh summary.
- AI in the entry plan, not the top one
- The clinical AI suite is included from €39.99 per month with no patient cap. The comparable Eholo tier is Premium at €79.90.
- European Portuguese, end to end
- Interface and clinical AI both work in European Portuguese, so the note you sign reads as you would have written it.
Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is Eholo and who is it for?
- Eholo, at eholo.health, is a Spanish practice-management platform built specifically for psychologists and psychology centres, operated by Eholo Psicología SL. It covers calendar and public agenda, secure video calls, patient histories, informed consents, questionnaires, automatic and WhatsApp reminders, billing with Eholo Pay, and commission management between professionals and centres. It ships genuine AI through its MIA assistant. Its fiscal compliance is Spanish — VeriFactu and TicketBAI, filed to the AEAT. Note that eholo.com is an unrelated parked domain offered for sale and is not this vendor.
- Does Eholo have AI, and how does it compare to Mena's?
- Yes, and this is worth being precise about because Eholo ships more AI than most vendors in this category. Its MIA assistant transcribes sessions automatically and generates clinical histories, produces a detailed summary of each session with suggested next steps, and also handles business tasks such as finding invoices and chasing unpaid ones. The differences are two. First, packaging: on Eholo the transcription, clinical summary and MIA are listed under the Premium plan at €79.90 per month, while Mena includes its clinical AI in every paid plan from €39.99. Second, depth: Mena additionally organises session themes and thinking patterns you confirm, each tied to the quote it came from, and carries that clinical memory across sessions. Eholo does not publish which model powers MIA or where its AI processing takes place.
- Can I use Eholo in Portugal?
- Eholo publishes no Portuguese fiscal capability. Its electronic-invoicing page describes VeriFactu and TicketBAI and filing to Spain's Agencia Tributaria, and never mentions the Autoridade Tributária, SAF-T or ATCUD. Its interface is published in Castellano and English, with no Portuguese option. That does not mean the software cannot be opened from Portugal — it means a Portuguese psychologist would need to handle fiscal obligations elsewhere and work in a second language. The reverse is equally true: Mena claims no Spanish fiscal capability, so a psychologist in Madrid should buy Eholo.
- How does Mena's pricing compare to Eholo's?
- Eholo publishes three plans: Estándar at €32.90, Avanzado at €54.90 and Premium at €79.90 per month, with an additional professional costing €20 per month on any plan, and 10% off for annual billing. Active-patient caps are 20, 60 and unlimited. Mena starts at €39.99 per month with no patient cap, or €31.99 billed annually. The honest comparison depends on what you need: for practice management without AI, Eholo's €32.90 is cheaper than Mena's €39.99. For AI clinical documentation, Eholo requires Premium at €79.90 against Mena's €39.99. Mena's Portuguese fiscal invoicing is a separate add-on from €14.99 per month, whereas Eholo includes Spanish electronic invoicing on all tiers.
- Is Eholo more secure than Mena?
- Eholo holds a stronger independent credential and Mena makes a stronger residency commitment, so neither answer is simply yes. Eholo Psicología SL has an information-security management system certified to ISO/IEC 27001 by Applus+, which is a genuine third-party audit and the strongest such credential among the vendors we have compared; Mena holds no equivalent certification. On the other hand, Eholo publishes no data-residency or hosting-location commitment and no encryption specifics, while Mena states EU data storage with field-level AES-256 encryption for health data, per-tenant keys, TLS 1.3 in transit and immutable audit logs. If certification is what your risk assessment needs, Eholo is ahead. If a stated hosting location is what it needs, Mena is.
- Can I migrate from Eholo to Mena?
- Yes. Mena supports importing patient data from other platforms, and our team assists with migration so nothing is lost in transit. The practical question is usually fiscal rather than technical: if you have been issuing invoices under the Spanish regime and are moving your practice to Portugal, the invoicing setup changes as well as the software, and that is worth planning before the move rather than after.
