Psynopsis vs Freed AI

Freed AI is a general medical scribe used across 96+ specialties, with ambient recording, ICD-10 coding and DAP/BIRP templates for mental health. Psynopsis is a psychiatric AI scribe built by a PMHNP for prescribing clinicians. Here is how Freed AI and Psynopsis compare for psychiatry: where a general scribe is enough, and where psychiatric structure has to be in the draft.

Choose Psynopsis if…

  • You prescribe and want each dose reconciled against the previous plan, not only transcribed
  • You want the MSE auto-populated and SI/HI captured as structured fields
  • You need post-session dictation for patients you would rather not record
  • You handle substance-use records and need 42 CFR Part 2 handling
  • You want a free tier with psychiatric templates, and $75 a month for the full product

Choose Freed if…

  • You practice across specialties, or your group includes non-psychiatric clinicians (96+ specialties supported)
  • Ambient recording with ICD-10 coding suggestions is your main workflow
  • DAP/BIRP-style templates cover the therapy visits you document
  • You want a widely adopted general scribe from a well-funded technology company

The difference in one visit

A general scribe transcribes the dose. A psychiatric scribe reconciles it.

Both tools will hear “bump the sertraline” and “keep the lamotrigine.” Psynopsis also compares each dose in the draft with the previous plan, so a lamotrigine that was 200 mg on 12 May and reads 20 mg today is flagged for you to confirm before signing.

Medication reconciliation
Previous plan · 12 May
Sertraline 50 mg qAM
Lamotrigine 200 mg qHS
Today · draft
Sertraline 50 → 100 mg qAM verified
Lamotrigine 20 mg qHS was 200 mg on 5/12 — confirm?
AI draft — clinician review required before signing.

Bottom line

Freed AI is a capable general medical scribe across 96+ specialties, and if your group spans specialties it is a reasonable default. Psychiatric providers have workflows general tools were not designed around — MSE documentation, medication reconciliation, SI/HI liability, 42 CFR Part 2 — and Psynopsis goes deep where Freed goes wide. Both produce drafts you review and sign; the difference is how much of the psychiatric structure is already right when the draft lands.
