A MentorcliQ alternative for coaching programs
By Martijn Mauritz · Last updated 2026-08-24
MentorcliQ is well-known mentoring-program software, built to match mentors and mentees at scale and administer mentoring across an organization. Exantur overlaps on matching and program administration, but it is built for coaching rather than peer mentoring, so the honest framing is about fit, not a claim to do the same job.
If your program is peer mentoring, employees mentoring each other, MentorcliQ is purpose-built for that. If you run coaching, whether with internal L&D coaches or your own coaching business, and want matching, programs and measurement in one EU-hosted platform, Exantur is the closer fit. It does not supply external coaches; you bring your own.
Matching, but as the front door to coaching
Like MentorcliQ, Exantur turns matching into a structured step: a matching intake form captures goals, focus areas, preferences and context; those answers become a weighted match score; and the strongest pairings become assignment proposals that move through an accept or decline flow. The difference is what happens next, in Exantur the accepted match flows straight into the coaching itself, sessions, notes, goals, accountability and programs, rather than a mentoring cadence.
Programs and the coaching work underneath
Exantur wraps matching in a full coaching platform: programs give an engagement shape, and every coachee gets structured session notes, goals, accountability and between-session check-ins. Where MentorcliQ administers mentoring relationships, Exantur runs the actual coaching practice, which matters if your program is coaching and you want the delivery and the administration in one place.
Measurement built for coaching outcomes
Exantur adds coaching-grade measurement: a sponsor ROI dashboard with engagement analytics and cohort trending, CSV or PDF export, and k-anonymity that suppresses any cohort under five people. 360-degree feedback with coach-defined competency frameworks gives a structured development signal. This is measurement of coaching outcomes, not just program participation.
EU-hosted, transparent pricing, honest scope
Data is EU-hosted with row-level security and MFA, and a DPA is available; plans are published on the pricing page. To be clear about scope: Exantur is not dedicated peer-mentoring software and does not supply external coaches. If pure peer mentoring is the whole requirement, MentorcliQ is the specialist. If it is coaching, Exantur brings matching, delivery and measurement together.
