Yung Sidekick

Twofold is built for behavioral health rather than retrofitted from a generic medical scribe. BIRP, DAP and SOAP for mental health ship as defaults, the product emphasises Golden Thread continuity between assessment, treatment plan and progress notes, and capture is HIPAA-aligned with a signed BAA on every paid account. Published pricing is at the low end of the category — a one-week free trial then $19 for the first month. Trade-offs to be aware of: it is a younger product than Mentalyc or Upheal, the public footprint of an independent SOC 2 Type II report is thinner than enterprise-grade scribes, and EHR write-back is copy-paste / export today rather than native sync into SimplePractice or TherapyNotes. A reasonable shortlist candidate for solo and small-group therapy practices; clinicians in SUD (42 CFR Part 2) or NHS-facing UK settings should confirm posture directly and compare against Eleos or Upheal before committing.

Pick Yung Sidekick if you need solo clinicians who want a no-nonsense ambient note tool with session insights. Pick Twofold Health if you need behavioral-health and therapy clinicians who want a hipaa-aligned scribe with mental-health note formats by default and a low entry price. Verify on a live session before committing — both publish trials or free tiers worth using.
