At least Merriam-Webster lists mensual for monthly as an adjective, as in a mensual fee.
For the adverb, that would mean you could use mensually, as in, I pay mensually.
Although I recognise the word, and the same stem is used in some other English words (like menstruation) I doubt the word is very commonly used or recognised (my spell checker doesn't!), so I would be careful about using this word with the expectation that people will understand you...

Shouldn't it be mensually? How many literate people, excluding the highly educated, would actually know its meaning or its existence?

@Mari-LouA yes, I forgot to mention that because I saw monthly, but of course, that is both an adjective and an adverb. And indeed, I doubt many people will understand this word readily.

Welcome to StackExchange!
I do not see a better word for something repeating every month other than monthly, which is quite formal. Even if you somehow find one, I think there is a possibility of being misunderstood.
- Words like bi-fortnightly are used sometimes but even that does not equal a month. (fortnight=2 weeks)
Secondly, look at the etymology of the word annual
annus (Latin) meaning year --> annualis (Late Latin) --> annuel (Old French) --> annual (Late Middle English)
- Now, one would naturally look at mensual as the 'annual' equivalent of monthly which comes from the Latin word mensis meaning 'month'.
But you need to be careful as the word mensual is usually comprehended as menstrual (relating to the menses or menstruation), which also has the same root word mensis.
Cheers!
