Three Reasons Therapists Switch
1. On-Device Privacy — Not Just Encrypted, Redacted
Mentalyc encrypts your recordings in transit and at rest. That's table stakes. The recording — with every patient name, date, address, and identifying detail — still exists on their servers.
Mediyn strips all 18 HIPAA identifier categories on your device before the data ever leaves. Names, dates, geographic data, phone numbers, Social Security numbers, medical record numbers — redacted locally. The cloud never sees the raw recording.
This matters most for the patients who need privacy most: trauma survivors, minors, high-profile clients, those in substance abuse treatment, and court-mandated cases.
Encryption protects data in transit. Redaction means PHI never leaves your device.
2. Complete Platform — Not Just AI Notes
Mentalyc does one thing: AI-generated session notes. To run your practice, you still need SimplePractice or TherapyNotes for scheduling, billing, patient records, and intake forms. That means two subscriptions, two logins, two support teams, and data that doesn't flow between systems.
Mediyn is the complete platform. AI documentation, 200+ clinical assessments, AI worksheet generation, scheduling with calendar sync, online booking, billing with superbills, patient portal, and Stripe Connect for clinics.
One login. One subscription. One workflow.
3. The Closed Clinical Loop — Notes That Feed Worksheets That Feed Outcomes
Mentalyc generates a note. That's where it stops. The note lives in your EHR. Nothing connects it to the next session or the work the patient does between sessions.
Mediyn closes the loop. Session notes feed AI-generated worksheets personalized to what was discussed. Assessment scores inform worksheet recommendations. Patient progress on worksheets appears in your dashboard before the next session.
Documentation that drives treatment. Not documentation that sits in a chart.
Pricing Comparison
| Mentalyc | Mediyn Starter | Mediyn Professional | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly price | ~$30/mo | $49/mo ($39 annual) | $99/mo ($79 annual) |
| What's included | AI session notes only | AI documentation, scheduling, assessments, patient portal, billing | Everything in Starter plus AI worksheets, advanced analytics, Stripe Connect |
| Additional software needed | EHR ($40–80/mo) for scheduling, billing, patient records | None | None |
| Effective monthly cost | ~$70–110/mo (Mentalyc + separate EHR) | $49/mo | $99/mo |
Mentalyc's ~$30/month only covers AI notes. You still need a separate EHR for everything else. Mediyn replaces the entire stack.
