Pricing
FreemiumAda Health's consumer app is completely free for individual patients on iOS and Android — no subscription required to use the symptom assessment, care navigation, and family health profile features.
For enterprise B2B integrations, Ada licenses its API and white-label platform to health systems, insurers, pharma companies, and digital health organizations. Enterprise pricing is custom and negotiated based on patient volume, integration complexity, language requirements, and white-label needs. Multi-year licensing contracts are standard for enterprise deployments.
Contact Ada Health through ada.com for enterprise partnership and API integration inquiries.
FreemiumMicrosoft Azure Health Bot is priced on a consumption-based model through a standard Azure subscription — costs scale with the number of messages processed, API calls made, and Azure services integrated.
A free development tier is available allowing organizations to build and test bots at no cost before moving to production. Production deployments are billed monthly based on usage volume. Organizations with existing Azure Enterprise Agreements or Azure committed use discounts can apply those to Health Bot consumption.
For large healthcare enterprise deployments, Microsoft offers dedicated account management and custom Azure pricing through its enterprise sales team. Pricing details are available through the Azure portal or by contacting Microsoft Azure sales.
