SimplePractice Note Taker review

Note Taker is SimplePractice's AI documentation add-on, and like TherapyFuel it is a sensible buy only for therapists who already run their practice in that EHR. After 30 free days it costs $35 a month and drafts progress notes at the end of each telehealth or in-person session, either from a recording of the session or from dictation. Because the note lands in the SimplePractice chart, there is no copying between apps. Therapists who want more can buy Care Aide at $59 a month for the account owner, which bundles Note Taker with Session Sidekick for live telehealth support, a Treatment Planner and Client Summaries that give clients a recap with next steps; each additional clinician costs $49. With the cheapest Starter plan at $49, a solo therapist pays at least $84 a month, which is more than most standalone scribes that work with any EHR. SimplePractice is a strong EHR, but its AI tools are narrower than Upheal's or Blueprint's for the price.
