The Key Difference

Wysa is a text chatbot—you type your feelings, it responds with exercises. Great if you prefer structured, written interactions.

Stella is voice-first—you talk out loud, she listens and responds naturally. Perfect for when you're too anxious to type, driving, or lying in bed at 3am.

"When my hands are shaking, the last thing I want to do is type." — Stella user
