It supports virtual, peer, reverse, leadership, onboarding, group, skills, mentoring-circle, and new-manager programs.

MentorcliQ describes guided onboarding, integration support, mentoring experts, and 24/7 technical support. It states that it maintains SOC 2 Type II, Microsoft SSPA, and TX-RAMP Level 1 certifications or compliance, and describes encryption in transit and at rest, multifactor authentication, and continuous monitoring of more than 70 security controls. CliQ Start begins at $9,900 a year for 100 employees per year; pricing for CliQ Plus and CliQ Complete is custom.

Mentors Outreach is web and API software for organisations that manage mentoring applications, matching, relationships, safeguarding, community and reporting. Program teams review match suggestions and approve proposals; mentors and mentees also accept before a relationship becomes active. Relationship workspaces can hold agreements, goals, sessions, messages, tasks, prompts, private notes and support requests. Safeguarding records are restricted to authorised roles, with case triage, ownership and decision history kept separate from general program activity. Teams can use live reports, surveys, outcome measures, exports and health queues. Mentoring circles, community spaces, events, learning and a shared mentor network are available where enabled. Its public API covers published programs, events, opportunities and resources, not private workspace records. The free Community plan covers 100 participants, 10 programs and one organisation workspace. Professional costs $149 a month, billed A$149 per organisation per month, and excludes integrations. Mentors Outreach is aimed at Australian organisations supporting their own mentors and participants; it does not supply mentors or offer AI coaching, clinical, therapeutic or emergency support.
