Mentis vs Thrive AI

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.

Thrive AI is a chatbot within the Saalvio mobile app, built around cognitive behavioural therapy techniques for everyday mental wellness. It supports reflection on feelings, brief conversational exercises, and noticing mood patterns, with suggested thought records, behavioural activation prompts, grounding techniques, and journaling cues. The maker describes use for anxious thoughts, stress, low mood, worries, and daily mood check-ins. The app is available for iPhone and Android in Canada and the United States, and its first language is English. The Free tier includes standard chat, while AI-guided exercises and end-of-exercise recommendations are on paid tiers. Saalvio Free costs nothing; Saalvio Basic is C$4.99 a month, Pro is C$9.99 a month, and Premium is C$14.99 a month, billed through Apple App Store or Google Play. The maker says conversations are encrypted in transit and at rest, not sold or shared with advertisers, and not used to train models. Users can export conversation history and mood tags, delete conversations, or close an account in the app. Thrive AI is not therapy or a crisis service and does not diagnose or prescribe; it surfaces crisis resources when it detects high-risk language.
