Quick read

This is mainly about whether recording fits your practice, and what you need after the note is done.

Ambient AI scribe for clinical documentation

Freed is stronger when you want to record sessions and let AI handle the documentation. It saves real time if consent-to-record fits your practice.

Reframe Practice

Reframe is stronger when you want a therapist-built tool with text input, no recording, and a note -> worksheet -> session prep workflow at a third of the price.

Decision rule

Choose the tool that matches the job you need this week, not the tool with the most features on paper.

The bigger question is not which tool writes better notes. It is what happens after.

Freed ends at the note. Reframe starts there and moves into worksheets or session prep from the same case.

Review Standard

Last reviewed March 21, 2026.

This page was updated against Freed public pricing and feature pages, not private account screens.

Freed publicly presents HIPAA compliance and BAA availability. This comparison is about workflow shape and clinical focus, not suggesting every therapist should avoid recording.

Source check: Freed pricing and Freed security. If Freed changes pricing, features, or privacy details, their live site should win.

Common Questions

Is Freed built for therapists?

Freed started as a medical scribe for physicians and expanded to therapy. It works well for documentation, but the product was not designed around therapy-specific workflows like worksheets or session prep.

What about the consent-to-record question?

Recording sessions requires informed client consent, which varies by jurisdiction and practice setting. Some therapists find this straightforward. Others prefer a workflow that does not introduce that question. Reframe sidesteps it entirely. You type the note yourself.

Is $99/mo worth it vs $29/mo?

If ambient recording genuinely saves you hours of documentation time, the cost may make sense. If your main need is structured notes plus worksheets and prep, Reframe covers that at $29/mo with 10 free notes to start.

Start with the note.

Then move into worksheet or prep only when the case calls for it.
