Mentornity

Overview

Mentornity is software for running mentoring programs across companies, universities, accelerators and communities. It is best suited to coordinators who need structured matching and oversight across cohorts; its free tier makes a small pilot practical, but growth brings a steep step up in cost.

Key features

Programs can use one-to-one, group, self-selection, freestyle or structured formats. Matching rules let administrators weight profile criteria and set mandatory filters, producing the same result from the same data. An AI rule can also use free-text goals to identify relevant expertise, useful when profile fields alone do not capture what participants need. The range gives coordinators control, though it may be unnecessary for an informal pairing program.

Mentors can publish recurring availability; connected calendars block busy times and meetings receive video links. Integrations include Zoom, Google Meet and Calendar, Microsoft Teams and Outlook, Jitsi, SAML identity providers such as Azure AD and OneLogin, plus Excel and CSV import and export. In-platform video calls open in a browser, including on mobile browsers, rather than requiring a separate native-call experience.

Program Health flags stalled pairs and open tasks, and coordinators can be assigned to particular pairs. Participants can submit support requests in the app, with administrators responding through a shared board under the program’s name. Reports export to CSV, Excel or PDF, and completed participants can receive certificates. Together, these tools make progress and follow-up visible to program staff, not just to the matched participants.

Mentornity says it hosts service data in AWS’s Frankfurt region, uses HTTPS/TLS connections and salted bcrypt password hashes, and encrypts backups stored in the EU. Its privacy policy says it does not sell personal data or use program data to train AI models. Android, iOS and web access are supported.

Pricing

The Free plan costs nothing, billed per month, with no expiry, credit card or setup fee. It supports up to 10 users and includes all paid-plan features, making it a credible small-group trial rather than a time-limited preview. The stated participant limit is 10.

Program costs $289 a month, billed monthly, and can be stopped whenever you like. Its annual option is $3,120 invoiced once for the year, shown as $260 per month. It allows 50 active users and unlimited programs, cohorts and administrators. Only active participants count; administrators and coordinators are free. This suits organizations with an ongoing program and up to 50 active participants, but the jump from the free cap is material.

Custom pricing applies above 50 users and requires a quote based on user count. White labeling and SAML single sign-on cost extra, so teams that need either should account for add-on costs rather than assume they are included. There is no free trial; the no-expiry Free plan is the low-risk way to assess the product.

Platforms

Mentornity supports Android, iOS and web. Its in-platform video calls work through mobile browsers.

Who it's for

It is a strong fit for institutions and organizations coordinating multiple cohorts, especially those that value configurable matching, scheduling and program-health monitoring in one system. A group of ten or fewer can use the full feature set without a subscription. Informal programs or organizations expecting to exceed 50 active users should weigh the added complexity and custom-priced tier against their needs.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Weighted rules, mandatory filters and optional AI goal matching give coordinators several ways to shape pairings.
• Pros: Calendar connections, meeting links, progress flags and participant support requests cover practical coordination work beyond matching.
• Pros: A permanent free plan includes paid-plan features for up to 10 users, while admins and coordinators do not count toward paid participant capacity.
• Cons: Program starts at $289 a month, a substantial commitment once a program outgrows the free cap.
• Cons: White labeling and SAML single sign-on cost extra, and larger programs require a custom quote.
• Cons: Video calls open in a browser, which may not suit teams expecting calls inside a dedicated mobile app.

Verdict

Mentornity is a good choice for organizations that need configurable matching and clear oversight of structured mentoring programs, particularly if they can stay within the permanent 10-user free tier or justify the 50-active-user Program plan. Its breadth and full-featured free plan are compelling; the monthly price increase and separately priced white labeling and SAML make it less attractive for larger or budget-sensitive programs.
