Editorial verdict

Freed

Freed is a mature, general ambient scribe. It writes very clean notes but is not psychiatry-aware — expect to build your own MSE and risk-assessment templates before it fits a psychiatric practice.

Heidi Health

Heidi is the most flexible template system in the category. Psychiatrists who like tweaking will love it; those who want a psychiatry-native default won't find one here.
