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.
See medication managementBottom 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.
