Which one is for you
Pick Blueprint if
- Fits if you want AI notes without leaving the EHR you already use
- Works for a part-time practice where paying per session is cheaper than a seat
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you see many clients, as per-session charges add up compared with a flat $69 seat
- Watch out: the page shows the alongside plan at both $0.99 a session and $69 a seat
- Watch out: card payments are 3.15% + $0.30 and claims $0.30 each, and the page gives two different start dates for those fees
- Not for you if you want what the page marks coming soon, such as practice finance questions and website help
Pick Upheal if
- Fits if you see individual clients and want free basic notes
- Works for a solo therapist who may later move to the EHR
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you stay free: individual therapy only, with a capped AI assistant
- Watch out: EHR fees are $0.30 per claim, $0.15 per eligibility check and 2.9% + $0.30 per payment
- Pricey if you use the AI Assistant a lot, as it is capped monthly unless you add Assistant Pro
- Skip it if you run a group practice and want a price, as the page gives no figures

More comparisons
How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
