Mentalyc places a high priority on security and compliance to ensure a safe and reliable environment for psychologists. While Mentalyc & Upheal are both compliant with various regulations like HIPAA, PHIPAA, PIPEDA, and DPA, Mentalyc follows a more robust security practices and is committed to meeting or exceeding industry standards.

It's important to note that compliance certifications often involve a third-party issuing “stamps,” and some companies may invest heavily in obtaining these stamps such as SOC2, HIGHSTUST, and ISO, for which the users will have to pay via high subscriptions. Mentalyc is compliant with all those but does not have paid certifications. 

In general, the key differentiator is that Mentalyc delivers excellent security and other features without the need for therapists to pay additional costs. We believe in providing superior features and security such as using full anonymization, more note options (PIRP, GIRP, SIRP, PIE etc.) including group and supervision management features, creating custom templates, and supporting dictation across formats, all while maintaining an affordable cost for our users.
