Therma vs Reflectly
Reflectly invented the AI-journal category in 2017. Therma is the next generation: adaptive AI that learns your patterns, integrates with your wearables, and produces weekly insight reveals.
By Omar Rantisi, Founder of Therma

Common questions
Is Reflectly's AI actually AI?
It's template-based with light personalization. The prompts come from a predefined library that doesn't adapt much based on your specific patterns. Therma's AI is genuinely adaptive: the question you get on day 30 is informed by your previous 29 entries.
Why is Reflectly's premium more expensive than Therma?
Reflectly is a mature product with high marketing costs to cover. Therma is in waitlist phase and offering early adopter pricing to build out the user base.
Which has better journal entry review?
Reflectly's story view is excellent for browsing past entries chronologically. Therma's weekly insight reveal is better for seeing patterns and themes. Different goals: Reflectly shows you what you wrote; Therma shows you what it means.
