The UK alternative to Quill for therapists.
NoteSono is purpose-built for UK private practice and ICO registered. It starts free, with paid plans from £14.99/month. Quill is a good product — built for the US market.
Why UK therapists choose NoteSono over Quill
Built for UK GDPR
Your notes are stored in the EU. Some AI processing uses providers outside the UK and EU under data processing terms that exclude training on your data. Quill is a US company (Zapstar Solutions, LLC) built around HIPAA. If you're in the UK, ask about its UK GDPR terms.
Works from your summary
Like Quill, NoteSono works from your summary, not the session. You speak or type it after your client has left. The session isn't recorded; only your summary is processed.
Free plan available, no card needed
NoteSono has a free plan with 5 notes a month across 2 clients, no time limit. Quill also has a free account (5 notes). With NoteSono you can try every Pro feature for 7 days whenever you like.
Client consent template included
NoteSono provides ready-to-use consent wording for your client contract, written for UK practice.
