Why Organizations Choose Mentorloop
If you don’t want to read the whole article, here are the three main reasons why organizations choose Mentorloop over Together:
And if you want to skip to the complete comprehensive comparison table, you can click the button below.
Pricing
Mentorloop delivers more value at a lower cost
Pricing is often a major consideration when selecting a mentoring platform. Together’s pricing starts at $10,000/year for Pro and $20,000/year for Enterprise, making it a significant investment.
Mentorloop offers a more accessible pricing model:
- Pro: Starts at $299/month (60% saving compared to Together)
- Enterprise: Starts at $1,298/month (20% saving compared to Together)
But that doesn’t mean you get less. In fact, with Mentorloop, you get more features at a fraction of the cost, making it a better choice for organizations of all sizes.
Mentoring Matches
Mentorloop guarantees equitable pairings across your program
Both platforms offer different types of matching:
- Participant-led matching (either driven by mentors or mentees)
- Manual coordinator-led matching
- Smart matching via a matching algorithm
Mentorloop also offers blended matching where mentors and mentees can find their own matching but program coordinators can still step in and lend a hand if required.
Both platforms offer customizable matching algorithms, however, Mentorloop’s approach is designed for fairness and balance across an entire cohort instead of the ranked system Together uses.
What that means is that tather than automatically pairing individuals with the highest match scores—potentially leaving some participants with significantly weaker matches—Mentorloop’s algorithm ensures that match quality is distributed equitably. This approach maximizes engagement and participation by ensuring that every participant receives a strong, meaningful connection, rather than concentrating the best matches among only a few.
| Together | Mentorloop | |
| Matching Types | Mentor-led Virtual Coffee Chats: random networking Colleague Connect: peer mentoring | Self Match |
| Matching Algorithm | Customizable matching criteria without a specific emphasis on cohort-wide equitability | ✅ Customizable equitable matching algorithm—Mentorloop’s smart matching algorithm ensures equitable, high-quality matches across your entire cohort, optimizing compatibility and engagement while ensuring a balanced distribution of match compatibility. (Smart Match is fully bespoke with Mentorloop Enterprise) |
Together offers networking-oriented features like Virtual Coffee Chats (randomized matches to encourage networking) and Colleague Connect (removes the need for a seniority gap to enable peer mentoring).
While networking is important, program coordinators using Mentorloop can achieve the same outcome through 1:1 matching, simply by adjusting their program’s matching criteria.
Rather than relying on separate features, Mentorloop provides greater flexibility by allowing coordinators to define structured networking opportunities within their mentoring program itself—eliminating unnecessary feature clutter that can overwhelm users and reduce overall engagement.
So if you’re looking for a platform that prioritizes and optimizes engagement through fair, data-driven pairings, Mentorloop is the superior choice.
AI Capabilities
Privacy-first with Mentorloop
Mentorloop’s AI approach is built around data privacy and user control. Together’s AI scans LinkedIn profiles and resumes to pre-fill user profiles and generate meeting agendas. While this is convenient, it raises concerns about data security.
Mentorloop takes a privacy-first approach by only using meeting notes to generate agendas, ensuring that personal and professional data remain protected. This approach respects user autonomy, allowing participants to shape their mentoring experience without unnecessary data collection.
For organizations prioritizing data security, ethical AI practices, and compliance with privacy regulations, Mentorloop offers a safer and more responsible solution—ensuring that AI enhances mentoring without compromising confidentiality.
Languages, Accessibility & Integrations
Mentorloop offers more flexibility and connectivity
Mobile Access
If mobile accessibility is important to your organization, as it is for the communities, universities, industry associations, and even large corporates with dispersed staff that we serve, then Together’s lack of a mobile app may be an issue for you.
This limits accessibility for users who may not have access to a computer for long periods of their day. (Think those working on ships or hospitals, or any on-site jobs that take teams away from desks) Mentorloop offers a dedicated mobile app for both Apple & Android so no one is left out of mentoring due to a lack of regular computer access.
Languages
Mentorloop provides multi-language support at no extra cost.
Together also offer multi-language support, however, this is an add-on that incurs additional cost.
Integrations
Mentorloop offers the best calendar integration in the business. It allows participants to set their availability, see their mentoring partner’s availability, and schedule one-time or recurring mentoring meetings. This makes it easier for participants to set up and maintain their mentoring sessions without switching between multiple tools or having lengthy back-and-forths with their mentor or mentee to try to find mutually suitable meeting times.
While both platforms offer similar HRIS integrations, Mentorloop takes it a step further by integrating with a wider variety of tools that extend beyond corporate HR systems. This flexibility allows non-corporate organizations—such as industry associations, member communities, and nonprofits—to integrate with systems that best support their unique structures and needs, making Mentorloop a more adaptable solution overall.

Making mentoring as accessible as possible to as many people as possible is at the core of why we do what we do here at Mentorloop. So if this is also a priority for you and your organization, Mentorloop is the obvious choice.
Support and Community
Mentorloop goes above and beyond
Customer Support
At Mentorloop, we take pride in providing best-in-class customer support—going beyond what’s typically expected from a mentorinbg software provider.
Many providers, including Together, limit support at the entry level to just email and a Help Center. And while both platforms follow a tiered support model, Mentorloop delivers significantly more value—even for Pro users.
Alongside our regularly updated HelpHub, Mentorloop offers an Academy filled with best-practice resources tailored for both Program Coordinators and participants. Additionally, our Customer Success team hosts monthly bitesized training sessions for Program Coordinators—giving even Pro-tier users direct access to expert guidance and the opportunity to ask questions about their programs.
For Enterprise customers, both Mentorloop and Together provide dedicated Customer Success Managers. However, Mentorloop’s Enterprise support goes further, including:
✅ A personalized onboarding call
✅ Program Coordinator training
✅ Pre-launch check-ins
✅ A participant kick-off session
✅ Ongoing program reviews and strategy sessions
With Mentorloop, you’re not just getting a mentoring platform—you’re getting a true partner in mentoring success, regardless of what you pay.
Community Support
One of the key differentiators between Mentorloop and Together is Mentorloop’s commitment to social impact and social good.
Mentorloop is a certified B Corp, meaning it meets rigorous standards for social and environmental responsibility. This reflects its mission to make mentoring more accessible and impactful for all kinds of organizations—not just corporates.
This is brought to life by our Community Support Program, which provides discounted plans for charities, nonprofits, and community organizations. This program enables mission-driven organizations to leverage structured mentoring without the financial burden, ensuring that mentoring is accessible to those who need it most, fostering greater social impact and community development.
If your organization is a nonprofit or community group looking to scale mentoring without a hefty price tag, Mentorloop’s Community Support Program makes it the clear choice.
