Side-by-Side Comparison

WellNotes vs Freed

Last updated: March 2026

Reviewed by the WellNotes Clinical Team

Freed is an AI medical scribe designed for clinicians across healthcare specialties. It uses ambient listening during patient encounters to automatically generate clinical documentation. While powerful for general medical settings, Freed is not specifically designed for mental health — it serves a broader clinical audience including primary care, specialists, and therapists.

According to the MGMA Practice Operations Survey (2023), the average therapist spends 20+ minutes per progress note. WellNotes generates complete notes in under 2 minutes.
