Comparison

Citt.ai vs AutoNotes. Clinical continuity, not just a note.

AutoNotes drafts therapy progress notes and treatment plans quickly from brief inputs or audio. It is a useful standalone documentation utility. Citt.ai supports both full-session audio and quick post-session reflections, preserves nuanced safety and risk language for clinician review, and connects every approved note to the rest of the client journey.

When AutoNotes is a fit

  • You need a quick documentation tool and do most of your practice management in other software.
  • You work from brief session summaries rather than full recordings.
  • You do not need the note to feed into between-session care or pre-session prep.

When therapists choose Citt.ai

  • You want full-session transcription plus quick reflection-based drafting.
  • You need risk and safety language preserved and surfaced for review.
  • You want approved notes to feed pre-session summaries, client check-ins, outcome measures, and practice workflows.

Questions therapists ask first

Liability, data use, and what the AI does and does not do. For full depth, see our Trust & Safety centre.

Can Citt.ai replace AutoNotes?
Citt.ai covers the same note-drafting use case and adds longitudinal client context, between-session support, outcome tracking, and practice operations. The right choice depends on whether you need the note to live inside a broader clinical workflow.
Does Citt.ai work from brief inputs like AutoNotes?
Yes. Citt.ai can draft a note from a short voice or text reflection. It also supports full-session audio and transcripts through the browser extension or in-app recording.
How does Citt.ai handle safety language?
Citt.ai preserves nuanced risk and safety language in the draft and surfaces it for clinician review. Client check-ins and messages are also screened for risk and escalated to the therapist.
Can I keep my existing EHR?
Yes. Many practices start with Citt.ai for notes and session prep while keeping their existing EHR as the billing hub. See how Citt.ai works alongside your current EHR.
What formats does Citt.ai support?
Citt.ai supports SOAP, DAP, BIRP, GIRP, psychodynamic, EMDR, couples, biopsychosocial, and custom formats based on an uploaded example note.

Citt.ai vs Mentalyc

Mentalyc is a dedicated mental-health AI note generator. Once the note is generated, the workflow ends. Citt.ai keeps going: notes become part of a compiled client picture, a longitudinal timeline, supervised between-session check-ins, and practice operations in one workspace.

Citt.ai vs Supanote

Supanote is a fast, template-friendly AI note writer for therapists. It works well for point-in-time drafting. Citt.ai matches that speed and adds longitudinal client intelligence, supervised between-session support, and full practice operations.

Citt.ai vs Upheal

Upheal offers AI session notes and session analytics such as talk-time ratios. Citt.ai differs by focusing on clinical continuity across the arc of care: compiled client context, supervised between-session check-ins, first-class crisis risk screening, Citt Evidence, and full practice management.

Citt.ai vs Heidi Health

Heidi Health is a strong general medical AI scribe built for primary care and hospital specialties. Therapy is not a 10-minute physical exam, and general scribes can flatten relational nuance or passive risk language into generic SOAP notes. Citt.ai is purpose-built for behavioral health with DAP, BIRP, GIRP, EMDR, couples, biopsychosocial intake, explicit safety-language surfacing, longitudinal client memory, and therapist-supervised between-session care.

Citt.ai vs SimplePractice

SimplePractice is an established practice management EHR for scheduling, billing, and forms. Citt.ai fits alongside SimplePractice on day one through the Chrome/Edge browser extension and calendar sync, giving you specialist AI therapy notes, pre-session prep, Citt Evidence, and supervised between-session client support without migrating your billing hub. When you are ready, Citt.ai can also serve as your full practice workspace with notes, longitudinal client intelligence, scheduling, intake, and billing under one roof.

Citt.ai vs TherapyNotes

TherapyNotes is a reliable, structured behavioral-health EHR for charting and claims. Citt.ai works side by side with TherapyNotes for clinicians who want custom-template AI scribing, longitudinal client summaries, Citt Evidence, and between-session check-ins and assessments. Citt.ai can also stand alone as a modern AI-native practice workspace.
