If you searched "Reflectly vs Mann", you probably already know Reflectly. It asks how you feel, then draws the graph. Mann is the one built for India. This page puts them side by side.
We make Mann, so read this knowing that. We have tried to be exact rather than kind to ourselves. Where Reflectly does something better, we say so, because you will find out anyway the first evening you use it.
Everything about Reflectly below comes from Reflectly's own website, the privacy policy it links to, and its App Store and Play Store listings for India, read on 9 September 2026. The links are at the bottom.
The short answer
Pick Mann if you think in Hindi, Hinglish, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Bengali or Marathi, want to write the whole thing rather than rate the day, and want the free plan to stay free.
Pick Reflectly if you want a mood tracker first and a journal second: a daily check-in, a question back, and graphs that connect your mood to your habits, in English.

Feature by feature
| Reflectly | Mann | |
|---|---|---|
| What happens when you write | You rate your mood, then write. Reflectly "asks personalized questions based on your diary entries". | Mann says back the one thing in your entry that carried the most weight, then stops. No advice, no question. |
| Languages | English, per the App Store India listing. The Play listing lists no languages. | Writes back in 8 Indian languages: English, Hindi, Hinglish, Marathi, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada. The app's own screens are in Hindi, Hinglish and English. |
| What it costs in India | $9.99 a month, $59.99 a year, per the App Store description, not in rupees. Play India IAP items run ₹520 to ₹29,999.99, no period stated. | ₹199 a month, ₹1,699 a year. |
| Where your words go | "Encrypted in transit", per the Play listing. The privacy policy says processing happens in the United States and data is kept "for as long as you use the Applications and for a reasonable time thereafter". It says nothing about entries at rest or who reads them. | Entries are encrypted on your phone before they are stored. Mann's servers hold ciphertext. Your words are read in flight, not at rest: a private safety screen reads every finished entry once, even one that gets no reflection, and the AI (Google Gemini) reads it when it writes your reflection. Nothing is kept. Chat messages are not encrypted yet. |
| Made for | An English-language audience. Kodeon, Inc., made in Copenhagen per its site. | India. Joint families, career pressure, the rishta conversation, log kya kahenge. A small team in Pune. |
| Crisis | Not stated on their site. | If an entry reads like a crisis, Mann gives helplines instead of a reflection: iCall 9152987821, Vandrevala Foundation 1860-2662-345. |
| Chat | None listed. | A separate "Talk to Mann" chat. 10 messages a week free, unlimited on Premium, within a fair-use budget of 200 AI calls a day. |
| Memory across entries | Not stated. Prompts get more personal "the more you use it". | Split. The reflection you get after saving is written from that entry alone, with no history. Memory shows up elsewhere: chat, the opening prompt and the weekly report draw on the opening of your recent entries and up to ten open threads Mann is still holding. Threads expire after 30 days and you can delete any of them. |
| Voice | Not stated. | Voice journaling on Premium. |
| Platforms | iPhone, iPad, Android. No consumer web app listed. | Android and iOS. No web app. Entries cannot be opened on a second phone, because the key never leaves the first one. |

| Habits and streaks | A habit tracker. A home-screen widget "to keep your streak going". | A habit tracker and a streak that punishes nothing. Two free guided programs (gratitude, sleep), seven on Premium. |
| Deleting your data | You can request deletion, per the Play listing. The privacy policy says to email the company. | From inside the app. Immediate and permanent. |
What Mann does that Reflectly does not
Price. ₹199 a month against Reflectly's App Store India list, which starts at ₹819 with no stated period. ₹1,699 a year against the named "Growth Bundle: Yearly" at ₹9,900.
Indian languages. Reflectly's App Store India listing lists English. Mann writes back in all eight, and was tuned for Hinglish rather than translated into it.
What the servers hold. Reflectly's pages say data is encrypted in transit and processed in the United States, and nothing about entries at rest or who can read them. Mann's entries are encrypted on your phone before they are stored, so Mann's servers hold ciphertext. A private safety screen reads every finished entry once, and the AI reads it in flight to write the reflection. The difference is what sits on the server afterwards.
Writing, not rating. Reflectly starts from "how do you feel today" and a scale. Mann starts from a blank page and one question tuned to the hour. If the thing on your mind does not fit a mood face, you need the page. Reflectly lists no chat; Mann has one, 10 messages a week free, stored as plain text.
The context. When you write "Papa said the usual thing about the job", Mann does not need the usual thing explained. That is the reason it exists.
Where Reflectly is better
The graphs. Reflectly is a mood tracker with a diary attached. It shows "mood correlations and graphs", ties them to a habit tracker, and gives daily, weekly and monthly overviews. Mann gives you one weekly report. If you want to see, in a chart, that the bad weeks line up with the weeks you skipped the gym, Reflectly does that and Mann does not.
iPad. Reflectly runs on iPad. Mann is a phone app.
A trial. Reflectly lets you try Premium before paying. Mann has no trial; the free plan does not end.
Who each is for
Mann is for someone with nobody safe to tell. You write the thing, in whatever language it arrives in. Mann says back the sentence you buried in paragraph four, and gets out of the way. For most people reading this in India, Mann is the one to start with: it is free, it is in your language, and it costs ₹199 a month if you ever pay.
Reflectly is for someone who wants to track. You check in each day, rate the mood, answer the question, and over a month the graphs tell you something you did not notice. If you write in English and want the numbers, that is what it does.
Questions people ask
Is Reflectly available in India? Yes, on the App Store India and Google Play India, priced in rupees on both.
Does Reflectly support Hindi? Its App Store India listing lists English only. The Play listing lists no languages. Mann replies in 8 Indian languages, including Hindi and Hinglish.
Which is cheaper? Mann, on the prices each states plainly: ₹199 a month and ₹1,699 a year, against $9.99 a month and $59.99 a year in Reflectly's App Store description. Reflectly's rupee items carry no periods, so they cannot be compared month for month.
Can I move from Reflectly to Mann? Reflectly's pages do not mention an export. Mann has no import today. You would start fresh, which some people prefer.
If that is what you were looking for
Writing in Mann is free, as much as you like, with one AI reflection a day and 10 chat messages a week. Premium is ₹199 a month or ₹1,699 a year. Get Mann here.
Or don't. A paper notebook does most of this, and we say that on every page. The one thing it cannot do is say back the sentence you buried in paragraph four.
Still deciding? This page is one of thirty. The whole set, with prices in rupees and the rows each app wins, is in Best AI journaling apps in India.
