Blueprint vs Upheal

Key Differences That Matter

Evidence-Based Tools Built In

Blueprint provides a deep library of evidence-based support expertly curated by its in-house clinical team. Outcome measures, interventions, and client homework are woven directly into the documentation experience. Upheal does not offer built-in clinical tools.

AI Editing Without Upsells

Blueprint gives every user access to Magic Edit. These savable AI prompts can be reused across future notes and are critical for capturing your tone and style. Upheal’s Smart Edit is only available on their Premium plan and works on a single note at a time.

Pre-Session Context and Session Prep

Blueprint recaps your last session and highlights changes in client progress, so you’re fully prepared, even if you only have a few minutes between sessions. Upheal focuses more on analytics after the session, offering less help with preparation or planning.

Continuity from Intake to Discharge

Blueprint follows the golden thread, tying treatment plans directly to progress notes and automatically surfacing ongoing goal-related progress in your notes. Upheal offers treatment planning, but doesn’t carry those insights forward in a meaningful or goal-linked way.

Clarity Around Note Accuracy

Blueprint’s notes are highly accurate — 92% of users don’t edit them at all, and they consistently align with clinical documentation standards. With Upheal, it’s less clear how accurate the output is for most users.

Transparent Pricing with Full Access

Blueprint starts at $29/month with no annual commitment. Upheal starts at $39/month only with an annual contract, or $49/month if you want the flexibility of going month to month. Upheal also reserves many key features for its Premium $99/month plan. Blueprint includes its core features in every plan.

With Blueprint, essential features like AI editing and treatment planning are included in every plan. There’s no need to upgrade to unlock what you actually need. From intake to discharge, Blueprint is designed to support your entire clinical workflow.
