Where Wysa is strong
Wysa has been around since 2015 and its chatbot is well known. It's a good fit if you like typing out what's on your mind and being guided into an exercise in the moment, and it offers human coaching for people who want that extra step.
How Mentis is different
Mentis is built around a rhythm rather than a conversation. Each day Mimi asks 3–5 quick questions and your sky updates — Sunny, Cloudy, Stormy — for Sleep, Social, Work and Lifestyle. A few days in, Patterns starts showing what's moving your mood. Then your plan gives you today's step: a guided audio, a journaling prompt, a short read, or something to try offline, like "Step Out Between Meetings" or "Hide The Clock".
You can still talk to Mimi any time, or use Rant to say or type whatever's on your mind and see the themes Mimi pulls out. But the backbone is the plan: nine chapters that move from understanding the problem to changing the habits that keep it going.
Who should pick which?
Wysa suits you if…
You want to chat whenever something comes up, like an on-demand toolkit, or want the option of paid coaching.
Mentis suits you if…
You want a light daily habit, a visual sense of how you're doing over weeks, and a clear plan for sleep, overthinking, relationships or work stress.
Frequently asked questions

Does Mentis have human coaching?
No. Mentis is a self-help app: daily check-ins, guided plans, activities and Mimi, an AI companion. It does not offer coaches or therapists. If you need a human professional, see our help page or call Tele-MANAS 14416.
Which is better for overthinking?
Wysa offers CBT-style exercises through conversation. Mentis has a dedicated 9-chapter Overthinking plan (worry windows, the what-if check, the replay, the inner critic) that you follow a few minutes a day. If you prefer chatting your way through, Wysa may suit you; if you prefer a structured daily plan, try Mentis.
