Freed is the most-recognized AI scribe on the market, built for general medicine and adapted to behavioral health as a specialty. JotPsych is the operating system for behavioral health: notes, e-prescribing, scheduling, telehealth, billing, and credentialing in one platform, with the prescriber workflow (intakes, medication management, TMS, Spravato) built in. Start alongside the EHR you use today in five minutes, or replace it entirely on your timeline. From $53/mo versus Freed's $39 Starter, capped at 40 notes, up to $119 Premier.
Most tools do one job and stop. JotPsych runs the whole behavioral health practice: it knows where the money goes, protects every claim, grows with every hire, and coaches every clinician. From the first intake to the paycheck.
Every encounter tracked from scheduled to paid. JotPsych flags the unbilled visit, the undercoded note, the denied claim, and the receivable aging past 60 days, then shows you how to fix it.
Every note and claim scanned against 150+ payer rules and the latest audit standards before you sign. Clawbacks and denials caught while they are still fixable.
Onboard a new clinician in minutes. Documentation and coding stay sharp and uniform at every seat, so quality and revenue scale with you, not against you.
JotCoach reads every note your team writes, flags what to fix and why, and develops every clinician, like you are in the room without being in the room.
Notes, e-prescribing, scheduling, telehealth, billing, and credentialing in one system that talks to itself, instead of seven vendors that do not.
Psychiatric intakes, medication management, TMS and Spravato, the 99214 and the 90833 add-on, e-prescribing with PDMP. The prescriber workflow native, alongside the therapy hour.
Most scribes stop at the note. JotPsych runs the whole practice. Add it to the EHR you use today with no migration and write your first note in five minutes, then make it your entire system when you are ready, on your timeline. One platform for any behavioral health practice.

Freed is a capable, widely adopted general-medicine scribe with strong word-of-mouth: 26,000+ clinicians across 1,300+ organizations, a "Learn My Format" feature that adapts to an individual clinician's writing style over time, and HIPAA compliance with SOC 2 Type II and an org-wide BAA on the Group plan(Freed security page). If you are a primary care or mixed-specialty clinician who mostly needs fast narrative notes and a 7-day free trial(Freed pricing page), that is a real fit. For a behavioral health practice, none of it replaces the prescriber tools JotPsych is built around.
Public reviews, unedited.
"Everything is all well and good until you have a problem. Then you realize the flaws in the system. There is no way to personalize notes. The app might go through an upgrade and all of a sudden, you have problems with your template. But worst of all, sometimes you lose your documentation... And worse, there is no one to call and help! All they have is a bot that directs you to form articles that do not help with the matter at hand. So disappointing. Never again."
EjayGA (Verified App Store user), Apple App Store review"I really wanted Freed to deliver what it promises, but it misses in a big way. The notes are very poorly structured at the end of your visit. It is especially problematic in the assessment and plan section when you are left with a massive list of problems that the patient mentioned, and other conditions that were barely referenced in your conversation. I found myself taking 10 minutes to edit the freed note when it would've taken me five minutes to compose it on my own."
Carl Kasselvania (Verified App Store user), Apple App Store review"Great price. But significantly deficient in capturing everything that you say to the patient in the assessment and plan or medical decision-making. For example, if I mention the etiology of the patient's problem, it always fails to scribe this information. It only scribes brief bullet points. This is by no means a complete solution."
