Free plan with a BAA. MentalNote's free plan has no time limit and includes the BAA, which you accept in the app before your first session. Most AI scribes we compared offer a 7- to 30-day trial or sell only to enterprises, and the two other never-expiring free plans (Heidi and Upheal) do not state a BAA on their pricing pages.
