Why Choose Mena Over Mentalyc?
Mentalyc does AI notes well — but that is all it does. If you need a complete clinical workflow with scheduling, telehealth, patient portal, billing, EU compliance, and Portuguese language AI, Mena was built for exactly that.
Complete Platform, Not Just Notes
At €30/month, Mena includes everything: AI clinical notes, session recording, telehealth, scheduling, patient portal, billing and outcome tracking. Mentalyc at ~$50-70/month covers only AI note generation.
Full Clinical Workflow
Mena manages the entire therapy workflow — from appointment booking to session analysis, outcome tracking and crisis detection. Mentalyc focuses only on the note-writing step after the session.
Built for European Therapists
Mena is designed for Portuguese-speaking therapists with AI that understands clinical language in Portuguese, EU data storage, and compliance with both GDPR and the EU AI Act.
EU AI Act + GDPR Compliant
Mena is one of the first platforms compliant with the EU AI Act, ensuring transparent and auditable AI. Mentalyc, as a US-based tool, does not offer EU data storage or EU AI Act compliance.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Mentalyc and who is it for?
Mentalyc is a US-based AI note-taking tool designed primarily for English-speaking therapists. It automatically transcribes and generates clinical notes in multiple formats (SOAP, DAP, BIRP). While it does AI notes well, it does not offer scheduling, telehealth, patient portal, billing, EU compliance, or Portuguese language support.
How does Mena's AI compare to Mentalyc's AI?
Both platforms offer AI-generated clinical notes with session transcription. Mena additionally provides CBT session analysis, crisis detection, outcome tracking with validated instruments, and full Portuguese language support — capabilities Mentalyc does not offer. Mena's AI is also compliant with the EU AI Act, ensuring transparent and auditable operation.
Can I migrate from Mentalyc to Mena?
Yes. Mena supports importing patient data and clinical notes from other platforms. Our team can assist with the migration process to ensure a smooth transition without data loss.
Do I still need other tools if I use Mentalyc?
Yes — Mentalyc only handles AI note generation, so you would still need separate tools for scheduling, telehealth, patient communication, billing, and outcome tracking. Mena integrates all of these into a single platform, eliminating the need to manage multiple subscriptions.
