Pricing
EnterprisePathAI operates exclusively on enterprise contracts with hospitals, pathology labs, and biopharma companies — there is no published pricing or self-serve access. Following its acquisition by Roche in May 2026, PathAI's commercial and contract terms are managed through Roche's diagnostics division. Clinical lab engagements use AISight for digital pathology workflow integration and AI algorithm deployment. Biopharma partnerships are structured as research service contracts for clinical trial tissue analysis, biomarker discovery, and companion diagnostic development. Contact PathAI or Roche Diagnostics to explore enterprise and research partnership options.
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.

  • Enterprise and biopharma-focused — not accessible to independent pathologists or small labs
  • No self-serve pricing or trial — all engagements are through enterprise procurement
  • Requires digital pathology infrastructure (scanners, storage, LIS integration)
  • Integration complexity for labs not yet on digital pathology workflows
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
