Key Differences

Note Quality & Editing Time

Blueprint’s notes are designed to reflect your unique clinical voice from the get-go. Built specifically for behavioral health, Blueprint notes follow familiar frameworks, adapt to your preferences, and require little to no editing.

Clinical Intelligence & Support

Where Mentalyc stops at note generation, Blueprint keeps moving forward. You'll get automated recommendations for evidence-based assessments, interventions, and homework, all built into your session workflow and personalized to each client.

Treatment Planning & Continuity of Care

Therapists rely on the "golden thread" to connect goals, interventions, and outcomes. Blueprint creates your treatment plan and then ties those goals directly into every note, ensuring seamless continuity across sessions. Mentalyc doesn’t currently offer this feature.

Clinical Credibility

Blueprint was built by licensed clinicians, ensuring it meets real-world clinical standards, including documentation audits and quality-of-care requirements. Mentalyc’s clinical involvement is less clear, making it harder to gauge its alignment with therapeutic best practices.

Human Support

You’re not on your own with Blueprint. Whether you’re live onboarding, in-app chatting, or email support, real people are available to guide you. Mentalyc takes more of a self-serve approach, which can leave you without the hands-on support you need to get started or troubleshoot quickly.

Trusted by Tens of Thousands

Blueprint is used and trusted by over 40,000 therapists across private practice, community mental health, and group settings. But don’t just take our word for it... check out some of our satisfied therapist reviews.
