Pricing
PaidSchrödinger offers software through subscription licenses and hosted cloud access. Enterprise pharma customers access the full suite (Maestro, Glide, FEP+, Jaguar, Prime, and Bunsen AI) through annual software licensing agreements. Pricing is tiered by organization size, usage volume, and modules required. Enterprise software ACV reached $198.5M in 2025. Academic and government institutions access Schrödinger tools through educational licensing at significantly reduced rates. Cloud-hosted subscriptions are also available for teams preferring managed infrastructure. Drug discovery partnerships with pharma (BMS, Sanofi, Takeda) are structured as sponsored research and co-development agreements with milestone-based payments. Contact Schrödinger through schrodinger.com for enterprise pricing, academic licenses, or partnership 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.

Schrödinger

Schrödinger Pros & Cons

Pros

  • 34+ years of computational chemistry leadership — most trusted physics-based platform in pharma
  • Bunsen AI co-scientist launched July 2026 — BMS immediately deployed it
  • FEP+ delivers industry-leading accuracy in binding affinity prediction
  • NASDAQ SDGR — $255.87M revenue in 2025, 23% growth, turning profitable in Q2 2026
  • 500+ pharma enterprise customers including BMS, Sanofi, Takeda, Pfizer, and Eli Lilly
  • Materials science applications extend reach to battery, semiconductor, and chemical sectors
  • Cloud-hosted subscriptions eliminate on-premise infrastructure burden

Cons

  • Software is expensive — enterprise pricing puts it out of reach for smaller labs
  • Stock (SDGR) has been under pressure — market cap ~$1B despite strong platform
  • Drug discovery segment revenue is milestone-dependent and lumpy
  • Platform learning curve is steep without computational chemistry background
  • Competition from newer, purely AI-native platforms is intensifying
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
