How this score works: Blueprint 81/100

Five categories, 0 to 20 points each, from public vendor documentation as of 2026-10-13. Unknown items score 0.

Pricing transparency and value20/20

Prices published, free plan or trial, entry price at or under $100/mo, contract terms disclosed (5 points each).

EHR integration depth8/20

Notes delivered into the EHR, Epic integration, another named native integration, in-chart or two-way workflow (5 each).

Privacy and security20/20

BAA publicly documented, SOC 2 Type 2, retention and deletion controls, model training policy (5 each; 3 if de-identified data only).

Specialty and psychiatry fit15/20

Workflow features18/20

BAA gate: ranking requires a publicly documented BAA. That gate decides whether a vendor is ranked; it does not add or remove points. (Separately, a documented BAA is one 5-point item under Privacy.) Blueprint is ranked #2 among vendors with a documented BAA.

Who it is for and who should skip it

Who Blueprint is for

  • Individual therapist who wants a free EHR and pays only for AI sessions: the core EHR is free and AI is priced per session with no subscription.
  • Therapy group or behavioral health organization: direct EHR integrations, a Chrome extension, SSO and measurement-based care workflows are listed for organizations.
  • Clinician who wants short retention: audio is deleted immediately after processing and clinicians can set retention policies for transcripts, summaries and notes.
  • Practice that tracks outcomes: built-in outcome measures and a library of 600+ assessments, worksheets and interventions are listed.

Who should skip Blueprint

  • Psychiatric prescriber who needs e-prescribing: none is documented.
  • Practice that needs a named or Epic integration: no EHR is named for direct integration.
  • 42 CFR Part 2 program: Part 2 specific controls are not publicly documented. Ask vendor.
  • Buyer who needs one clear published price: pricing varies across vendor pages. Ask vendor.

EHR integration depth

Solo clinicians copy and paste notes into SimplePractice, TherapyNotes, Headway, Alma or any EHR, or use Blueprint as the EHR, where notes save straight to the chart. For organizations, Blueprint lists direct EHR integrations (real-time note transfer and client data import with any EHR that supports third-party integrations), a Chrome extension, an API and SSO. No EHR is named for direct integration and no Epic integration is documented.

Listed integrations: Organizations: direct EHR integrations (no EHR named), Chrome extension, API and embedded widget, SSO. Solo: copy and paste, or Blueprint as the EHR. Imports from SimplePractice, TherapyNotes and TheraNest

Specialty suitability

Templates: SOAP, DAP, BIRP, GIRP, EMDR, intake notes, psychiatric evaluations and custom templates; treatment plans, biopsychosocial assessments, discharge summaries and letters

Workflow and UX

Clinicians record live in person or over telehealth, use the mobile recording app, dictate, upload audio or type a summary. The same session can produce a treatment plan, letters or a discharge summary, and session prep recaps prior sessions. On the All-in-one EHR, scheduling, telehealth, client portal and billing are built in.
