Pricing
EnterpriseAmbience Healthcare operates exclusively on enterprise contracts with health systems — there is no published pricing, no self-serve signup, and no free trial available. Third-party estimates based on available market data put pricing in the range of approximately $233–$417 per provider per month, with a one-time implementation fee. Fees are partially tied to outcomes — Ambience structures contracts around the value it delivers (ROI, coding compliance, clinician adoption) rather than a flat per-seat subscription. Health systems engage through the Ambience sales team, who set targets, define baseline performance, and design pilots before full deployment. Contact Ambience directly at ambiencehealthcare.com or info@ambiencehealthcare.com to start the conversation.
PaidFreed publishes clear, tiered pricing, unlike some enterprise-focused competitors that require a sales call. The AI Scribe has four tiers: Starter at $39/month (billed annually) or $59/month (billed monthly) for 1 clinician and up to 40 notes/month; Core at roughly $59-79/month for unlimited notes and Clinical Evidence; Premier at $104/month (annual) or $119/month (monthly) for the full suite including EHR push, dictation, and ICD-10/CPT coding; and custom Groups pricing for multi-clinician clinics with admin dashboards, SSO, and volume discounts. Freed Front Desk, the separate AI receptionist product, starts at $149/month per block of 250 calls. All AI Scribe plans include a 7-day free trial with no credit card required, and residents, students, and trainees can get the Core plan free through Freed's pilot program.

Freed AI

Freed AI Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Transparent, published pricing starting at $39/month, unusually clear for the AI medical scribe category
  • Purpose-built for independent and small-to-midsized clinics rather than enterprise health systems
  • Combines scribing, cited clinical Q&A, and coding suggestions in one affordable tool
  • High reported accuracy (98% recall on medical terms) and accessible US-based human support
  • New Front Desk product extends the same AI to patient calls and messaging, not just documentation
  • 7-day free trial with no credit card required, plus free access for residents and students

Cons

  • No native EHR API write-back for most systems; EHR push works only with browser-based EHRs, not deep two-way integrations like Epic or Oracle Health
  • Front Desk is still in beta with a waitlisted 'Advanced' tier, so scheduling and insurance verification aren't yet automated
  • Higher tiers (Premier, Groups) are needed to unlock EHR push, coding, and multi-user features, which adds up for growing clinics
  • Built for browser-based, ambulatory workflows, so it's a weaker fit for large hospital systems already standardized on Epic or Cerner
  • Audio is only temporarily retained during processing, so there's no persistent recording to fall back on after a note is finalized
