Mentalyc charges by the note, which changes how you use it
Most software prices by seat or by session. Mentalyc prices solo plans by how many notes you generate per month — 40, 100, 160 or 330. That is an unusual model and it has a consequence worth thinking through before you adopt it, because a documentation tool with a monthly cap is a documentation tool you ration.

The note cap is the thing to think about
Run the arithmetic against a real caseload. A full-time clinician seeing 25 clients a week generates roughly 100 sessions a month, which lands on Basic — but only if every note is one note and nothing else consumes the allowance.
In practice it does not work out that cleanly. Group sessions produce a note per participant. A regenerated note may or may not count. Intakes, treatment plan updates and collateral contacts are documentation too. A clinician nominally at 100 sessions can find themselves brushing a 100-note cap, and the natural response is to be selective about which sessions get an AI note.
Why that matters more than the price. Selective documentation is the thing you do not want. The value of consistent AI documentation is that every note is written to the same standard — a chart where some notes are thorough and others are hurried because the allowance ran out is a chart with uneven exposure, and the hurried ones will be in the audit sample too. This is the specific reason Weft does not meter documentation: a compliance tool you ration is a tool you stop relying on.
The Team plan removes the cap entirely at $59.99 per seat monthly, which is a cleaner model — and for a group practice it is the tier worth pricing rather than the solo tiers.
Where Mentalyc is a good fit
Low-volume practice. A part-time clinician at 40 notes a month paying $14.99 annually is paying very little for AI documentation, and no full EHR competes with that on price because they are not selling the same thing.
Adding to an EHR you like. If your practice management works and only documentation is painful, buying a documentation tool is a more proportionate response than migrating platforms. That is a real argument and it applies to us as much as anyone.
Trying before committing. A 14-day trial with 15 notes is enough to find out whether AI documentation fits how you work.
Where we differ
Mentalyc is a documentation product. Weft is a practice platform with documentation inside it. Those are different purchases and the comparison is only meaningful for practices deciding between "add a scribe" and "consolidate systems."
The structural argument is the one we make everywhere: a scribe operating alongside a separate chart writes notes that cannot cite the treatment plan, because it cannot see it. For private-pay work that is a non-issue. For insurance-billing work it is the gap that shows up years later during a records request — see the golden thread.
The second difference is scope. Scheduling, eligibility, claims, ERAs, supervision routing and measurement-based care are not what Mentalyc does, and a practice needing those is buying two products either way.
Comparing honestly on price
For a solo insurance-billing clinician, the real comparison is not Mentalyc against Weft — it is Mentalyc plus your existing EHR against Weft. At Basic ($39.99) plus a typical EHR subscription of $69 to $99, the combined figure exceeds Weft Pro at $69 with documentation included.
At Mini ($14.99 annually) plus a cheap EHR tier, it does not. The model that wins depends entirely on your volume, and there is no configuration where one answer is right for everyone.
Who should choose Mentalyc
- Part-time and low-volume clinicians where the note count genuinely fits.
- Practices happy with their EHR and looking only to solve documentation.
- Groups wanting uncapped documentation without changing platform, at the Team tier.
Who should look at Weft
- Practices currently paying for both an EHR and a scribe.
- Clinicians who have found themselves rationing notes against a cap.
- Insurance-billing practices where documentation must connect to the plan.
Check what counts as a note
Before choosing a tier, this is the question worth asking the vendor directly, because the answer determines whether the plan you picked fits.
Does a regenerated note consume a second credit? Does a group session produce one note or one per participant? Do treatment plan documents, intake summaries and collateral contact records draw on the same allowance? Do unused notes roll over?
None of these are trick questions and any vendor will answer them. But a practice that assumes one session equals one note can find its actual consumption is meaningfully higher, and discovering that in week three of a monthly cycle is an avoidable annoyance.
The Team tier is the cleaner product
For any practice beyond one clinician, the Team plan at $59.99 per seat monthly — or $49.99 annually — with unlimited notes is a materially better shape than the capped solo tiers, and it is the tier worth comparing.
Uncapped removes the rationing problem entirely, which is the main objection to the solo model. At $49.99 annually per seat it is also competitive: a three-clinician practice pays roughly $150 a month for documentation, against Weft Group at $167 including the whole platform.
The comparison then becomes the honest one — a documentation tool alongside your existing EHR versus a single platform — rather than an argument about note allowances.
Note quality is the thing to actually evaluate
Pricing is easy to compare and mostly not what determines whether you keep using a documentation tool. What determines that is whether the notes are good enough that editing them is faster than writing from scratch.
That threshold is individual. A clinician with a distinctive documentation style may find heavy editing negates the time saving; another may find a rough draft is exactly what they needed. There is no way to know without trying it on your own sessions, which is why every vendor here offers a trial and why using it properly matters more than reading comparisons.
What we would tell you to test
- Generate ten notes across your real caseload mix. Not the easy ones.
- Time the editing. Measure whether the draft plus your edits beats writing from scratch. If it does not, the price is irrelevant.
- Test a group session if you run groups, and check how per-participant notes are handled and counted.
- Count your actual monthly documentation events, not sessions — intakes, plan updates, collateral contacts — before choosing a tier.
Annual billing changes the maths
The annual discount here is substantial — roughly 25% across tiers. If you are confident the tool suits you, annual is meaningfully cheaper; if you are not, the monthly premium is the price of finding out without commitment.
