PsyFi vs Freed
Freed is a popular AI medical scribe built for clinicians across many specialties — family medicine, internal medicine, psychiatry, pediatrics, and more. PsyFi is built for behavioral health only, and it's a suite rather than a scribe: ambient session notes plus a HIPAA-aligned AI assistant and psychological report writing.
PsyFi is published by PsyFi Technologies. Freed figures come from getfreed.ai public pages as of July 2026 — verify current details with the vendor.

When Freed is the better fit
- Your clinic spans specialties — psychiatry alongside family medicine or pediatrics — and you want one scribe for everyone.
- You regularly produce medical-visit artifacts like patient instructions and referral letters.
- Your documentation lives in a general-medicine workflow rather than a therapy one.
When PsyFi is the better fit
- You're behavioral-health-only and want AI shaped around therapy notes and psych evaluation — not a generalist with a mental-health template.
- You do testing: assessment score extraction and report drafting aren't in any medical scribe's product.
- You want a clinical AI assistant for the rest of your day — drafting, document review, clinical questions — in the same subscription.
- Entry pricing matters: notes start at $19/mo vs Freed's $39/mo, and unlimited notes at $49/mo vs about $79/mo. Figures as of July 2026.
FAQ
Common questions
Isn't a bigger general scribe safer to buy?
Freed is a strong product with a large multi-specialty user base — if you need one scribe across a mixed clinic, it's a sensible choice. The trade-off is specificity: behavioral health is PsyFi's entire product, from modality-aware note drafting to assessment report writing, rather than one specialty among many.
How does pricing compare for a therapist?
As of July 2026: Freed runs $39/mo for about 40 notes up to roughly $104+/mo at the top. PsyFi Notes is $19/mo, and $49/mo (Clinician) gets unlimited notes plus the AI assistant. For a behavioral-health caseload, PsyFi is the lower bill at every rung.
Can Freed write psychological evaluation reports?
No — that isn't what a medical scribe does. PsyFi's Psychologist plan parses assessment score reports into tables you verify, then drafts psychological and psychoeducational report sections in your voice.
How does each handle recordings and PHI?
Freed temporarily stores audio and auto-deletes it once the note is generated, with notes on a manual or 30-day auto-delete. PsyFi de-identifies PHI before any AI model call, keeps data in AWS US regions, and never uses your content to train AI models. Both sign BAAs.
Who reviews the AI's output?
You do — with either product. AI-drafted documentation should always be reviewed and approved by the licensed clinician before it enters a clinical, billing, or legal record.
