Sanvello combines CBT tools, mood tracking, and community support. ILTY focuses on conversation. Here's how they compare.
Sanvello (formerly Pacifica) is a clinically-backed mental health app that combines CBT-based tools with mood tracking, guided journeys, and peer community support.
The app offers structured content for anxiety, depression, and stress. It includes thought journaling, coping tools, meditation, and health tracking in one place.
Sanvello is covered by many health plans and has clinical evidence supporting its effectiveness. It's a comprehensive toolkit approach to mental wellness.
ILTY takes a conversation-first approach rather than offering a toolkit. When you need to process something, you talk through it with an AI companion.
Multiple companions with different approaches mean you get the style of support that fits your moment—gentle or direct, exploratory or action-oriented.
Every conversation ends with actionable insights. ILTY helps you think clearly and decide what to do next.

Sanvello is a solid, well-rounded mental health app. The combination of CBT tools, tracking, and community creates a comprehensive support system. If your insurance covers it, it's an easy recommendation.
The gap is conversation. Sanvello's tools are useful, but when you need to actually talk through something—really process it—tools and exercises can feel insufficient.
ILTY fills that conversational gap. It's not a toolkit—it's a talking partner that helps you think through what you're dealing with.
These approaches complement each other: Sanvello for daily tools and tracking, ILTY for when you need a real conversation about what's going on.
Sanvello has a free tier with limited features. Premium costs about $9/month, and it's covered by many insurance plans. ILTY is free during beta.
Sanvello has structured programs specifically for depression, plus mood tracking to monitor symptoms. ILTY offers conversational support for processing depressive feelings. For clinical depression, professional treatment is essential alongside either app.
Sanvello has some interactive features but is primarily a tools-and-content platform. ILTY is built specifically for AI conversation about mental health.
The best way to know if ILTY is right for you is to try it. We're in beta and completely free.
