Dr. Riya by Mindtalk vs Mentis

Dr. Riya is an AI mental health guide in the Mindtalk app. It explains WHO-5, PHQ-9 and other screening results in plain language, then suggests a guided journey, journal or human specialist based on assessments and how a user feels. It can help users organise topics for a therapist session and track mood, sleep and journal records between appointments. The wider app lists 99 clinically validated assessments, 100+ worksheets, 18 guided journeys, 26 journals and 155+ guided audio sessions. Mindtalk describes the app as self-help for general wellbeing, mild-to-moderate anxiety and low mood, sleep improvement, stress management and mental-health habits. Users can book a Mindtalk psychiatrist or clinical psychologist in the app and choose to share assessment scores and worksheet responses with a therapist. Mindtalk says account information is encrypted, not sold and private unless the user explicitly permits sharing. The free plan is free on Android, iOS and web. Dr. Riya does not diagnose, prescribe, provide therapy or offer emergency or crisis support.

Mentis is an AI-powered mental wellness app for people in India, available on iOS and Android. It combines CBT activities, mood tracking, guided journaling, and personalized plans to help users manage anxiety, depression, stress, and other mental health challenges. Its CBT chatbot is described as available around the clock and guides users through recognizing negative thought patterns, examining cognitive distortions, and practising coping skills. Mood check-ins cover mood, energy, and the previous night’s sleep, with trends shown over time. Journal prompts reflect users’ goals, recent mood data, and CBT practice. Google Gemini AI uses answers and progress measures to create wellness plans with daily activities, measurable metrics, and a timeline; plans are reviewed weekly. Guided audio lessons cover breathing, mindfulness, grounding, and sleep. The free tier includes basic features, but the full personalized AI plan and unlimited chatbot access require premium. The maker says chatbot conversations are encrypted, history is not shared with third parties, employers, or insurers, and users can delete it. Mentis is a wellness tool, not a substitute for crisis intervention or professional psychiatric care.
