Mentalyc vs Supanote
Two therapist facing scribes competing for the same solo and small group practice. Mentalyc has the better paperwork and the more flexible input model, with a typed attestation, certification against a Canadian provincial regime as well as the United States rule, and notes that can come from a recording, an upload, a dictation, a transcript or a typed summary, which matters because plenty of clients will not consent to being recorded. Supanote has the better plumbing, with complete behavioral note format coverage and native one click autofill into the practice systems therapists actually use. If your obstacle is consent or jurisdiction, Mentalyc. If it is that the note has to land in your chart without copy and paste, Supanote. Confirm Supanote's pricing in writing, since its own pages have not been consistent.
- The compliance position is the strongest among behavioral vendors, with a typed attestation and certification against a Canadian provincial regime as well as the United States rule.
- Notes can be produced from recordings, uploads, dictation, transcripts or typed summaries, which fits clinicians who will not record every session and clients who do not consent to recording.
- Published tiers from a solo plan upward, so the cost is knowable and the entry point is genuinely small.
- Note format coverage is complete for the specialty across the full behavioral set alongside custom templates, which matters because therapists are trained on particular formats.
- Native one click autofill into the practice systems therapists actually run, rather than moving the note by hand.
- Narrow by design and deep within that, which suits a solo or small therapy practice that wants the note in the chart and nothing else.

Other published head to head assessments involving these vendors or their closest peers. The full set for this category is on the Ambient Scribes page.
Neither vendor publishes an accuracy figure, model card or evaluation methodology, and neither publishes a subgroup or accent performance analysis. Supanote's published pricing has been inconsistent across its own pages, which is a different failure from silence and should be confirmed in writing. Mentalyc's record system integration is the weakest part of its record. Both handle recorded psychotherapy, so the retention and training use terms matter more here than anywhere else in this index and neither publishes them in full.
