RecipioAI VS UseMaybe.app

UseMaybe.app's answer:

Next.js and TypeScript, hosted on Vercel, with MongoDB Atlas for storage and Stripe for billing. It is a progressive web app, so it installs to a home screen from the browser rather than through an app store. The encryption is done in the browser with the Web Crypto API before anything is sent, which is why the database holds ciphertext rather than text.

UseMaybe.app's answer:

Two things. It refuses to answer the question. Reassurance settles a worry for about ten minutes and teaches the brain that the question was dangerous enough to need answering, so Maybe's chat declines, however many ways you reword it, and stays with you while the feeling comes down on its own. And everything you write is encrypted in the browser before it is sent, with a key we never hold, so messages, conversation titles, memories and practice ladders are ciphertext on our side. Nobody can read them, us included.

UseMaybe.app's answer:

A general chatbot will answer the question, which is the one thing that keeps a reassurance loop going, and those conversations sit readable on a server tied to an account. Maybe declines the answer by design and cannot read what you write.

The practice it teaches comes from NICE CG31 and the International OCD Foundation, and every claim in a lesson carries its source. It is also honest about what it is not: not therapy, not a diagnosis, not a crisis service, with no outcome data and no independent clinical review yet. The evidence page says so in those words.

UseMaybe.app's answer:

Adults dealing with OCD, sticky thoughts and endless checking, in the hours a therapist cannot be in: the waitlist months, three in the morning, and the stretch before somebody is ready to say any of it to a person. Many arrive having tried to settle the same question with a general chatbot. It is used in the browser, on a phone or a computer, and it is built for someone who wants the practice without handing their thoughts to a database somebody can read.
