Pricing
CustomAtomwise operates through enterprise partnership and co-development agreements — there is no self-serve access or published pricing.
Collaboration types include: sponsored research agreements (pharma/biotech pays Atomwise to run AI-powered hit discovery campaigns), co-development partnerships (shared IP and milestone/royalty structures), and academic program access for universities through the ATOM initiative.
New CEO Steve Worland is also steering Atomwise toward an internal proprietary drug pipeline, which will generate revenue through future licensing and partnering deals as candidates mature into preclinical and clinical stages.
Contact Atomwise through atomwise.com for partnership and collaboration inquiries.
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.

Summary
Deep learning for structure-based drug discovery — AtomNet screens 16B+ compounds to find hits for any disease target
Affordable AI medical scribe and front desk for independent clinics, starting at $39/month
Atomwise Pros & Cons
Pros
- Invented deep learning for structure-based drug discovery in 2012 — true pioneer in the field
- AtomNet screens 16B+ compounds in under 2 days — fastest virtual screening at this scale
- 775+ collaborations and 250+ partners — most validated partnership network in AI drug discovery
- Tackles undruggable targets that traditional methods can't address
- Strong academic program: 40+ universities including Harvard, Stanford, and Duke
- New Foundation Model announced 2026 — next-generation AI for molecular discovery
- $226M+ raised from DCVC, Khosla, Y Combinator, Tencent, B Capital, and Baidu
Cons
- Early-stage company — no FDA-approved drugs from the platform yet
- Shifting focus from platform licensing to proprietary pipeline adds execution risk
- Smaller team (~100-250 employees) compared to larger AI drug discovery peers
- Revenue still modest at $5-25M range — pre-commercial stage
- Deep tech focus means long timelines before patient impact is realized
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
