AutoNotes
Closer to a structured therapy-note generator than a pure ambient scribe — you provide a brief recap (typed or dictated) and AutoNotes expands it into a SOAP/DAP/BIRP/GIRP/PIE/treatment-plan output. Ambient recording was added later. Strong on note-format breadth (including PAIP, MINT, EMDR-specific) and per-seat pricing. Provisional pending our own hands-on testing on a live caseload.

Distinct from a pure scribe — Blueprint started as a measurement-based-care platform and now ships an ambient note layer that ties session content to outcome measures (PHQ-9, GAD-7, etc.). Useful if you want one tool for both. HIPAA-aligned with BAA. Pricing is published per-clinician with a free trial. Note quality is solid on standard talk-therapy formats; specialty templates are narrower than Mentalyc or Upheal.

Pick AutoNotes if you need clinicians who prefer to dictate a brief recap rather than record full sessions. Pick Blueprint if you need therapists who want progress notes plus measurement-based-care outcomes in one workflow. Verify on a live session before committing — both publish trials or free tiers worth using.
