Freed vs Twofold Health for psychiatry.

For psychiatric practice in 2026, Twofold Health is the stronger choice in our editorial rubric (8.9 vs 8.5). Twofold produced the most psychiatry-shaped default output of the ten scribes we tested — MSE as a discrete section, medications as a structured list with dose, route, and frequency, and risk assessment separated from the narrative. It ranks first on our rubric for outpatient behavioral-health workflows specifically; it is not the right tool for a large health-system deployment on Epic, and it has a shorter operating history than several competitors.

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.

Twofold Health

Twofold produced the most psychiatry-shaped default output of the ten scribes we tested — MSE as a discrete section, medications as a structured list with dose, route, and frequency, and risk assessment separated from the narrative. It ranks first on our rubric for outpatient behavioral-health workflows specifically; it is not the right tool for a large health-system deployment on Epic, and it has a shorter operating history than several competitors.
