Youper tracks your emotions and offers CBT exercises. ILTY focuses on deep conversation. Here's how these AI approaches compare.
Youper is an AI-powered emotional health assistant that combines mood tracking with conversational CBT techniques. It helps you monitor emotional patterns over time.
The app uses quick check-ins and brief conversations to identify how you're feeling, then offers targeted exercises. It's efficient and data-driven.
Youper has published research on its effectiveness and is particularly good at helping people identify emotional patterns they might not notice on their own.
ILTY focuses on conversation depth rather than tracking. Instead of brief check-ins, it offers full conversations where you can explore what you're feeling and why.
Multiple AI companions provide different approaches—some gentle, some more direct—so you can choose the style of support that fits your moment.
Conversations end with actionable steps. ILTY helps you process and move forward, not just log how you feel.

Youper is clever at what it does: quick emotional check-ins with CBT techniques. If you want to track your moods and identify patterns, it's effective and efficient.
The limitation is depth. When you're really struggling with something, a 3-minute check-in isn't enough. You need to actually talk through it.
ILTY is for those deeper moments. When a mood tracker asks 'how are you feeling?' and the answer is complicated—that's when a full conversation helps more than a quick exercise.
They can work well together: Youper for daily tracking, ILTY for when you need to dig deeper.
Yes. Use Youper for daily mood tracking and quick check-ins. Use ILTY when you notice a pattern or need to process something in depth. They complement each other well.
Youper helps you track anxiety patterns and offers quick CBT exercises. ILTY helps you talk through anxious thoughts in depth. Both are useful—Youper for monitoring, ILTY for processing.
Not currently. ILTY focuses on conversation rather than tracking. If mood tracking is important to you, you might use both Youper for tracking and ILTY for conversation.
The best way to know if ILTY is right for you is to try it. We're in beta and completely free.
