Freed
Started as a primary-care scribe and now widely used by therapists. Note generation is fast (<60s typical), the editor is clean, and the BAA is signed on the standard plan. Therapy templates (SOAP, DAP, BIRP, intake) are available but more limited than Mentalyc. No free tier — flat $99/mo per clinician. Best fit for a solo clinician who values speed and simplicity over modality depth.

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.
