Blueprint or Clinically AI

Which AI Assistant is better for therapists?

Considering between Blueprint and Clinically AI for your therapy notes? Here’s what to know first.

When choosing AI documentation, finding a tool that understands your work as a mental health therapist matters just as much as the features themselves. While Blueprint has purpose-built features created by therapists for therapists, Clinically AI positions itself for behavioral health, yet also serves the broader healthcare industry. When you use it, that lack of singular focus shows.

Pricing is also a major difference. While Clinically AI’s sticker price seems good, the credit-based details and feature limits when you start using it tell a very different story. Here's what you need to know to choose what's right for you.

Key Differences That Matter

Everything You Need From Day One

Clinically AI restricts features across plans with a complex tiering system. Some plans support dictation while others don't. Some include full transcription, others cap your note length or session time. And when credits run out mid-month, your documentation stops completely until the next billing cycle, leaving you scrambling to finish notes on your own or upgrade unexpectedly.

Blueprint includes everything from day one. Whether you're seeing five clients or 30, you’re prepared with a robust documentation tool that has all the essential features you need included with every plan.

Flexible Setup, Secure Sessions

Clinically AI’s browser extension only works with open speakers, which can raise privacy concerns in shared offices or during telehealth sessions where confidentiality is critical. 

Blueprint supports headphones and offers speaker-aware transcription. Whether you’re seeing clients in person or virtually, the Chrome extension captures your session and generates notes without making you switch tabs or tools. And with Blueprint’s fully integrated, HIPAA-compliant telehealth, there’s no need for third-party software or complicated setup.

Notes That Sound Like You

Clinically AI offers an AI editing assistant that lets you adjust a note after it's generated. But it doesn’t allow you to save any edits or preferences for future notes. Each new note starts from the same default format, so you end up repeating the same edits every time.

Blueprint’s Memory feature is built to adapt. You can save your preferences once, and it'll apply automatically to future notes. Whether it’s the tone, phrasing, or structure you prefer, Blueprint learns how you document and adjusts accordingly. The more you use it, the more your notes sound like you. 

Compliance Made Simple

Clinically AI offers a downloadable BAA directly from their platform once your account is created, but you still need to review and complete it manually. That’s an extra step and another administrative task for therapists already juggling a busy practice.

Blueprint makes HIPAA compliance easier. Your BAA is automatically signed and activated when you create your account, without having to download or fill out forms. From day one, your compliance is seamless and stress-free, giving you one less thing to manage.

Personalized Clinical Insights

Clinically AI generates notes but doesn't provide ongoing clinical recommendations or track progress. You're left to identify trends and next steps on your own without support from the tool.

Blueprint offers pre- and post-session insights and clinical recommendations built right in. The platform helps you spot trends, suggests therapeutic resources, and provides session-to-session guidance tailored to each client.

Support When You Need It Most 

Clinically AI offers general training and self-guided tutorials, which can leave you navigating the tool on your own. When questions come up, you're left sorting through generic articles or waiting for answers.

With Blueprint, you get live onboarding and access to experts who truly understand clinical documentation. Instead of generic advice, you receive personalized guidance tailored to your unique practice and needs.

Choosing the Right Fit

Clinically AI positions itself for behavioral health, yet serves general medical, educational, and diverse healthcare sectors, providing generalized documentation support across these industries. But therapists who need more than just basic notes may find that Clinically AI doesn’t reflect the nuance, continuity, and their personalized approach to therapy.

Blueprint is designed specifically for mental health professionals, offering clear pricing, straightforward setup, and therapist-centered support without restrictive plans. Features like Memory adapt to your voice and practice, making the documentation feel like a natural extension of your therapeutic approach.

If you want documentation that understands therapeutic work and grows with your practice, Blueprint may be the better fit.
