❓ Frequently Asked Questions
How does the AI personalization work?
After completing 3 mood check-ins, Mentana's AI analyzes your unique patterns - including mood trends, sleep quality, stress levels, and more. It then creates customized 7-day courses specifically designed for your needs. The more you use Mentana, the better it understands you.
Is my data private and secure?
Absolutely. Your mental health data is encrypted and stored securely. We never sell your personal information to third parties. You own your data and can request deletion at any time. Mentana is GDPR compliant.
How much does Mentana cost?
Mentana offers a free trial so you can experience the full app. After the trial, a subscription is required to continue using all features. Pricing is kept as affordable as possible to make mental health support accessible to everyone. Subscription revenue helps cover AI and server costs.
Can Mentana replace therapy?
No. Mentana is designed to support your mental wellness journey and complement professional care, but it's not a replacement for therapy or medical treatment. For serious mental health concerns, please consult a licensed healthcare professional.
