EnterpriseHippocratic AI operates exclusively on enterprise contracts with health systems, Medicare Advantage plans, managed care organizations, and pharmaceutical companies. There is no published pricing or self-serve access.
Pricing is structured based on patient interaction volume, number of agent use cases deployed, clinical specialty coverage, and integration requirements with existing EHR and care management systems. Contracts typically include implementation, onboarding, and ongoing clinical oversight support.

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.
