TL;DR

Companionship, or structured clinical self-help?

  • Soriz: 20 AI companions for different parts of life. Calm is a gentle wellness companion — supportive, not clinical. Surfaces crisis helplines automatically. SorizPro $9.99 a month.
  • Wysa: Evidence-based mental-health tool (UK origin) built on CBT and DBT techniques. Structured exercises, clinical validation, optional human coaching. A different category of product.
  • The honest answer: If you want structured CBT, pick Wysa. If you want companionship that supports, not substitutes, your mental-health care — alongside therapy or Wysa — Soriz Calm fits that gap.

Both hear "I'm having a panic moment"

Same signal, two different responses. Both have a place.

Soriz Calm — companionship
i'm having a panic moment
i'm here. you're not alone in this.
want to breathe with me for a minute? if it gets worse, i'll share helplines and nudge you toward your therapist.

Gentle, present, safety-aware. Not a replacement for therapy.

Wysa — structured CBT
i'm having a panic moment
That sounds hard. Let's try a grounding technique together. Would you like to start with 5-4-3-2-1 sensory grounding or progressive muscle relaxation?

Evidence-based, technique-first, clinically grounded.

Real questions.

Is Soriz a replacement for Wysa or therapy? +

No. Soriz is companionship and support, not a medical or therapy product. Wysa is an evidence-based mental-health tool using CBT and DBT techniques, with human coaching options and clinical validation. If you're looking for structured CBT, Wysa is the appropriate tool. Soriz's Calm companion offers supportive conversation that complements, never substitutes, professional mental health care.

What is Soriz Calm and how is it different from Wysa? +

Calm is one of Soriz's 20 companions — a gentle, supportive voice for venting, winding down, and everyday stress. It's not a clinical product. Wysa is built around structured CBT and DBT exercises with clinical research behind it. Different products for different needs: Calm for companionship, Wysa for structured self-help.

Can I use Soriz alongside therapy or Wysa? +

Yes, many people do. Calm can be a gentle daily check-in companion alongside therapy or a structured CBT tool like Wysa. Soriz is designed as complementary companionship that supports, never substitutes, professional mental health care.

Does Soriz handle crisis moments safely? +

Calm auto-surfaces crisis helplines when the conversation signals distress — 988 in the US, Samaritans 116 123 in the UK, iCall in India, and local lines where detected. If you are in crisis, please contact a helpline or emergency services immediately. AI is not a substitute for urgent human support.

Which is better for long-term anxiety support? +

For structured, evidence-based CBT exercises with clinical grounding, Wysa. For ongoing supportive companionship and daily emotional check-ins alongside professional care, Soriz Calm. Many people find both useful for different moments. Neither replaces working with a qualified therapist.

Other comparisons worth your time.

A gentle voice when you need one.

Calm complements — never substitutes — professional mental health care. Crisis helplines always one tap away.
