Blueprint vs Freed
Which AI Assistant Is Actually Built for Therapy?

AI documentation tools like Freed were built for broader healthcare settings, where speed and summaries are key. But therapy is different. It’s less medical and more relational, with longer sessions and deeper narratives.

Blueprint was designed specifically for mental health. It offers tools that align with how therapy actually unfolds, helping therapists document efficiently while staying grounded in the therapeutic process. Not just summarizing what happened, but reflecting why it matters.

Key Differences That Matter

Mental Health Focus

Blueprint was purpose-built for mental health. Everything from formatting to clinical insights is designed with the session in mind. Freed was built for general healthcare. It has some functionality for therapy, but it’s not the core use case.

Minimal Editing Required

Blueprint’s notes are built to reflect how therapists actually talk and work. They’re structured, narrative-driven, and designed to sound like you. Freed’s notes often sound more medical than therapeutic and many therapists find they need to be rewritten to reflect their clinical voice.

Goal Alignment and Continuity

Blueprint keeps your notes aligned with your treatment goals. It surfaces progress seamlessly in your notes to maintain continuity across sessions. Freed doesn’t support treatment plan creation, and there’s no way to link goals to sessions automatically making long-term tracking harder.

Clinical Support and Recommendations

Blueprint includes personalized suggestions for assessments, interventions, and even digital homework, all grounded in clinical best practices. Freed doesn’t offer any built-in recommendations or session support tools.

Flexible, Private Recording Options

Blueprint supports both full-session recordings and quick post-session recaps. It also works with or without headphones which is helpful for therapists in shared or virtual spaces. Freed doesn’t support headphone use during telehealth sessions, which can limit privacy and usability.

Support That’s Actually Supportive

Blueprint includes live onboarding, chat, and email support from a team that knows therapy. Freed offers chat and email, but no live onboarding. Their support is more generalized, not therapy-specific.

Choosing the Right Fit

Freed may work well for providers in general healthcare. But for therapists, the tone often isn’t quite right, treatment planning is missing, and the cost doesn’t match the value if you’re not doing dozens of short visits a day.

Blueprint was built for therapists. Whether you record live sessions or give quick recaps afterward, Blueprint helps you document clearly, stay connected to your treatment goals, and free up hours every week.

If you want a tool that understands how therapy works and supports you from the beginning to the end of each session, Blueprint may be the better fit.

In Therapists’ Words

“I tried Freed. It was okay, but it’s nothing like what you guys have, and it was really crazy expensive.”

Current Blueprint user that tried Freed

“Freed has more medical specialties, but it's not really behavioral health based. Blueprint is focused on behavioral health, so it charts way more than I thought would be included.”

Current Blueprint user that tried Freed

“I originally tried Freed and switched to Blueprint because Freed was definitely more medical, whereas Blueprint is tailored to therapists.”
