Best for AI session notes for therapists
Mentalyc writes therapy notes and treatment plans from audio, uploads or dictation, and sends notes to an EHR. Every solo plan caps notes each month, from 40 on Mini to 330 on Super, and it is a documentation tool: no scheduling, billing or client portal.
Who Mentalyc is for
- Fits if you see individual clients and want notes and treatment plans drafted
- Works for a practice that already uses SimplePractice, TherapyNotes or Jane
Who Mentalyc is not for
- Tight if you see many clients: notes cap at 40, 100, 160 or 330 a month by plan
- Skip it if you need scheduling, billing or a client portal, as it is not an EHR
- Pricey if you see couples, families or children: those need Pro at $59.99 billed yearly
- Watch out: group therapy notes are Super only at $99.99 a month billed yearly

Keep Mentalyc, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of Mentalyc you could make: clinical notes, templates and reports. What surrounds it you could not. The 3 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
It costs $179.88 a year.
What you could make
- Clinical notes, templates and reports: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Speech turned into text you can trust.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- Sharing with other people, which means accounts and invitations.
What this rests on. Mentalyc’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is Mentalyc?
Mentalyc is an AI note taker for therapists. It turns a recorded, uploaded or dictated session into a structured progress note, and adds treatment plans, progress tracking and a per-session alliance score. It is not an EHR: it works beside one, and the vendor says it can send notes to systems such as SimplePractice and TherapyNotes.
Worth knowing
- It is a documentation tool, not an EHR: scheduling, billing and a client portal are not part of it.
- Each solo plan has a monthly note cap, from 40 on Mini to 330 on Super.
- Couples, family and child sessions need Pro; group therapy notes need Super.
- The site's compliance claims (HIPAA, SOC 2 Type II, a BAA created at signup) are the vendor's own.
Key features
- Notes from audio, uploads or dictation
- Record in person or over telehealth, upload audio, or dictate or type a summary. Output follows SOAP, DAP, BIRP and other formats.
- Treatment plans and progress tracking
- Basic and above write treatment plans with SMART goals, and notes can refer back to those goals. Pro adds goal progress and symptom trends.
- Alliance Genie
- Gives an alliance score after each session on Basic and above. The full report with quotes and feedback is on Pro and above.
- Templates and Magic Edit
- Pro and above can build and share custom templates. Magic Edit lets you change a note with a short instruction, with daily limits by plan.
- EHR transfer
- A one-click transfer sends a finished note to the EHR you already use. Mini and Basic allow 20 transfers a month; Pro and above are unlimited.
- Worksheets after each session
- The product recommends client worksheets after each session, and can share a summary of the session with the client.
