Mentalyc

The widest range of note formats and a real opt-out on AI training

Mentalyc is built for therapists specifically, with over 100 templates across SOAP, DAP, BIRP, and specialty modalities like EMDR, DBT, and couples work. It's one of the few here that lets you opt out of your data being used to train the model — worth knowing before you decide the privacy question doesn't matter to you.

Mental health specific

Upheal

Usage-based pricing and an explicit no-training-on-your-data policy

Upheal charges by the session ($1, capped at $69/month) rather than a flat tier, which suits a light caseload well. It's a fuller platform than a pure scribe — scheduling, billing, and treatment plans are bundled in — and it states plainly that patient data isn't used to train its models, with a BAA that auto-executes on every paid account.

AutoNotes

Checkbox-driven notes for clinicians who don't want to record sessions

AutoNotes doesn't require recording the session at all — a checkbox and short-answer interface generates the note from structured input instead, which matters if you or your clients are uneasy about audio capture. It's also the most affordable option here, and supports SOAP, DAP, BIRP, GIRP, and EMDR-specific formats.
