Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.4
GPA, above 25 of the 38 other therapy and clinic software we grade
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.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Mentalyc, taken from its own pages and our grades.
You pick templates and link an EHR before it fits your routine.

The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | B | Mini is $14.99 a month billed yearly, inside the cheapest quarter of therapy-clinics at $25. Basic at $29.99 and Pro at $59.99 are where the useful parts sit. |
| Free plan and trial | C | A 14-day trial with no card, and no free plan. |
| Features | C | Notes, treatment plans, templates and EHR transfer. Child, couple and family clients need Pro and group notes need Super. It writes notes only. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating counted. You pick templates and link an EHR before it fits your routine. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web, with SimplePractice, TherapyNotes and Jane. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
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 it 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
Good to know
Good for
- Therapists who keep their current EHR and want faster notes
- Solo practices that can size a plan by monthly note count
- Group practices that want a flat per-seat price
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.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
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.
