Mithra by MannSetu vs Psychia

Mithra by MannSetu is an AI wellness companion for voice or text conversations and mood support. It offers mood tracking, journaling, progress summaries, and voice emotion analysis alongside CBT-based exercises, behavioural activation, breathing, and grounding practices adapted for Indian contexts. It supports Hindi and English, including Hinglish code-switching, and is available on Android, iOS, macOS, web, and Windows. MannSetu says each message passes a risk screen and crisis support can surface Tele-MANAS 14416 and emergency number 112. The maker says Mithra does not diagnose or replace professional therapy, and no licensed clinician reviews conversations. MannSetu states that data is encrypted at rest with AES-256 and in transit with TLS 1.3; application-layer encryption remains in progress. Data is currently hosted in AWS us-east-2 in Ohio, with migration to AWS Mumbai in progress and no firm date. The free plan has daily limits for text and voice, plus mood tracking, journaling, and seven-day session history. Student is ₹199 a month plus 18% GST, and Premium is ₹399 a month plus 18% GST. Premium has a 14-day free trial. Campus Shield is ₹50 a year for institutions.

Psychia is an AI-powered mobile app for everyday emotional support and a private place to talk through personal concerns. It is available at any time, and conversations do not require an appointment. Its assistant draws on psychologists’ and psychotherapists’ knowledge and uses Solution-Focused Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy methods. Text conversations are included on every plan; voice conversations are available with Max. The free Lite plan offers unlimited text conversations, but may queue during busy periods and stores up to five conversations in history. A free account includes a three-day trial, and guests can start a conversation with a limited number of messages. Psychia supports Polish, English, and Ukrainian. The maker says information is stored in an AWS database and encrypted using AES-256, and that conversations are private and accessible only to the user. The maker also says the app does not replace psychotherapy or psychiatric help. It is closing its browser version and directs users to the iOS and Android apps; browser subscriptions cannot be transferred.
