What works
Signs a BAA on every plan, including the free plan.
AI Notes costs a flat $39 per month with unlimited sessions.
Free plan at $0 lets therapists try basic AI notes before paying.
Supports eight session languages, including Spanish, Mandarin and Hindi.
Watch for
Free plan covers individual therapy only and limits AI notes to text-to-note, dictation and uploads.
Annual price, trial length and the plan that includes the browser extension are not published.
Built for therapy and behavioral health, so other specialties are not covered.
Full AI Assistant use costs an extra $39 per month unless on EHR Pro.
Is an AI scribe HIPAA compliant for therapy sessions?
No tool is compliant on its own; what you can check is whether the vendor signs a business associate agreement and how it handles session audio. Both are on each tool's page where the vendor publishes them. Therapy EHRs are adding their own note tools too: SimplePractice and TherapyNotes both sell AI add-ons, listed on the EHR page.
