PsyFi vs Upheal
These two sit in different categories. Upheal is an AI-native EHR for therapists — scheduling, billing, telehealth, and AI notes in one platform you move your practice into. PsyFi is an AI suite that works alongside whatever EHR you already use: ambient notes, a HIPAA-aligned assistant, and psychological report writing.
PsyFi is published by PsyFi Technologies. Upheal figures come from upheal.io public pages as of July 2026 — verify current details with the vendor.

When Upheal is the better fit
- You're shopping for an EHR, not just AI — you want scheduling, billing, telehealth, and notes in one system.
- Per-session pricing ($1/session, $69 cap) matches a small or variable caseload better than a flat subscription.
- You're starting a practice from scratch and don't have an EHR to keep.
When PsyFi is the better fit
- You already have an EHR you like — changing systems of record is a project; adding an AI layer isn't.
- You want a general clinical AI assistant, not just documentation — drafting, document review, and cited clinical guidance.
- You do psychological testing — assessment parsing and report drafting are a PsyFi capability, not an EHR feature.
- You want flat, predictable pricing with unlimited notes from $49/mo.
FAQ
Common questions
Is PsyFi a competitor to Upheal's EHR features?
Not really. Upheal wants to be your system of record — scheduling, billing, telehealth, and charts. PsyFi deliberately isn't: your EHR stays, and PsyFi handles the AI work on top of it. If you're comparing EHRs, compare Upheal against your current EHR. If you're comparing AI capability, that's where PsyFi competes.
How does $1/session pricing compare to PsyFi's flat plans?
Upheal bills $1 per documented session, capped at $69/month — a light caseload costs very little, and heavy use tops out at $69. PsyFi is flat: $19/mo for notes alone, $49/mo for unlimited notes plus the AI assistant, $99/mo adding report writing. If notes are your only AI use case and your volume is low, Upheal's model is cheap; if you want the assistant and report writing too, the comparison is really $69 vs the value of the wider suite. Figures as of July 2026.
Can either product write psychological evaluation reports?
That's PsyFi-specific. The Psychologist plan parses assessment score reports into tables you verify, then drafts report sections in your voice. Upheal is a therapy EHR; psychological report writing isn't part of the platform.
Do both include a BAA?
Yes. PsyFi includes a BAA on every paid plan; Upheal includes one for covered entities at signup. On PHI handling, PsyFi de-identifies content before any AI model call and never uses it as training data; Upheal describes pseudonymization at rest and record-level encryption.
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.
