PsyFi vs BastionGPT
BastionGPT is a secure AI chat for healthcare professionals broadly — a BAA-backed way to use large language models at work. PsyFi starts from the same premise (AI you can use with client information) but is built specifically for behavioral health, and goes beyond chat: ambient session notes and psychological report writing live in the same subscription.
PsyFi is published by PsyFi Technologies. BastionGPT figures come from bastiongpt.com public pages as of July 2026 — verify current details with the vendor.

| Pricing | $19 / $49 / $99 monthly; Practice $59/seat (3+) | $20 and $45 per user/month |

When BastionGPT is the better fit
- You want a general-purpose secure AI chat for a mixed healthcare team, not a behavioral-health-specific tool.
- Your main use case is open-ended LLM work — drafting, summarizing, analysis — and you're comfortable building your own prompts and templates.
- You need a single low-cost seat ($20/user/month) for occasional secure AI use.
When PsyFi is the better fit
- You're a therapist or psychologist and want the clinical structure built in — note formats, modality awareness, assessment workflows — instead of prompting from scratch.
- A BAA'd chatbot still leaves you doing the work: PsyFi parses the protocol and drafts the report, rather than waiting for the right prompt.
- You want ambient session notes as a product, not a transcription feature you build a workflow around.
- PHI de-identification before the model call — not just secure processing — matters to your risk posture.
FAQ
Common questions
Aren't these basically the same thing — secure AI with a BAA?
They share the foundation, and that foundation matters: both will sign a BAA, which consumer AI tools won't. The difference is what's on top. BastionGPT gives healthcare professionals a safe general chat. PsyFi gives behavioral-health clinicians finished workflows: session notes drafted from recordings, assessment scores parsed into verified tables, report sections drafted in your voice.
How does pricing compare?
As of July 2026, BastionGPT is $20 or $45 per user/month for secure chat. PsyFi Notes is $19/mo; Clinician is $49/mo for unlimited notes plus the assistant; Psychologist is $99/mo adding unlimited report writing. Comparable entry price — the difference is how much of your documentation work each tier actually does.
Can BastionGPT write psychological evaluation reports?
You can paste scores into any capable chat and ask for narrative — but you carry the transcription risk yourself. PsyFi's report writer parses the score report into structured tables you verify against the protocol first, then drafts — no silent numbers.
What about PHI de-identification?
PsyFi de-identifies identifying details before anything reaches an AI model, on every plan, and never uses your content as training data. BastionGPT emphasizes secure, BAA-covered processing; pre-model de-identification isn't listed as a feature on its public pages as of July 2026.
Who reviews the AI's output?
You do — with either product. AI-drafted documentation should always be reviewed and approved by the licensed clinician before it enters a clinical, billing, or legal record.
