Freed AI Alternatives
Looking for a Freed alternative? Five AI scribes compared with Freed on published price, note caps, dictation, EHR fit and BAA terms. Checked November 2026.
The Short Answer
Freed is a self-serve AI scribe with a low entry price, and for many clinicians it is a good fit. Clinicians who look for an alternative usually have one of four reasons.
- The note cap. Freed Starter is $39 a month and covers up to 40 notes a month. Unlimited notes start on Freed Core at $79 a month.
- Dictation, codes and letters are on the top plan. Freed lists dictation, ICD-10 and CPT coding, and letters on Premier at $119 a month.
- The EHR is not in a browser. Freed's EHR push is a Chrome extension for browser-based EHRs.
- They want a free scribe. Two of the alternatives below cost nothing to start.
The five alternatives on this page are Doximity Scribe, Heidi Health, Sunoh.ai, Twofold Health and VoiceboxMD. Each one is free or publishes its price.
Who wrote this page: VoiceboxMD publishes it, and VoiceboxMD is one of the five alternatives. We do not rank them; they are listed alphabetically. Every fact about Freed and the other products comes from that vendor's own website, and we link the page we used so you can check it. We also say where Freed is the better choice.
Prices were checked on each vendor's website on November 9, 2026. Two figures were last checked on November 6, 2026: Heidi's monthly price and Twofold's annual price.

The 40-note cap on Starter

EHR push is built for browser-based EHRs
Freed's EHR push is a Chrome extension, included in Premier and Groups. Freed says it works with 13 EHRs, including athenahealth, Practice Fusion and SimplePractice. If your EHR is an installed desktop program or runs through Citrix, ask Freed how the note reaches the chart. Source: Freed EHR integration.
The Five Alternatives
Listed alphabetically. Each entry says who the product fits and links the page we used.
Doximity Scribe
Price: free for "all U.S. physicians, NPs, PAs, and medical students with a verified Doximity account".
Doximity Scribe runs inside the Doximity app on phone and desktop. Its page lists SOAP, H&P, consult and "simple dictation" templates, your own templates, and "HIPAA Compliant". We did not find BAA terms on the page; ask Doximity before you record patients.
Fits: verified US clinicians who want an ambient scribe at no cost. Source: Doximity Scribe.
Heidi Health
Price: Free plan $0; Clinician $150 a month, or $110 a month billed yearly; Teams custom. "Try 14 days free" on the Clinician plan.
Heidi's free plan lists "Unlimited ambient AI documentation" for one seat. Its plan comparison marks dictation, advanced templates and coding as "Limited usage" on the free plan. We did not find a BAA mentioned on the pricing page; ask Heidi which plans include one.
Fits: clinicians who want to use an ambient scribe free before paying for more. Source: Heidi Health pricing.
Sunoh.ai
Price: "Starting at $149 per user per month for a limited time." Its pricing page lists "Business Associate Agreement (BAA) included".
Sunoh lists ambient voice capture and a voice recognition system, with apps for iPhone, iPad, Android and the web. Its website names integrations with athenahealth, Cerner, eClinicalWorks, Epic, ModMed, Practice Fusion and Tebra, and an EHR Sync browser extension for browser-based EHRs.
Fits: practices on one of the EHRs Sunoh names that are comfortable at the higher price. Sources: Sunoh pricing, sunoh.ai.
Twofold Health
Price: free for 7 days, then $19 for the first month; Personal $69 a month, or $49 a month billed annually; Group custom.
Twofold's site says "BAA on every plan", lists "Record, dictate, or upload", and says the 7-day trial needs no card.
Fits: individual clinicians, including therapists, who want a low first month. Source: Twofold pricing.
VoiceboxMD (publisher of this page)
Price: Essential $49 a month, Power $79 a month, Premium $99 a month. 7-day free trial on monthly plans, 14 days on annual plans. A card is collected at checkout and is not charged during the trial.
VoiceboxMD includes an ambient AI scribe and live dictation on every plan, with no monthly note cap, in Windows, Mac, iPhone, Android and web apps. A BAA is included on every plan. The Windows and Mac apps type dictation at your cursor in any EHR field, and place a finished note whole or one section at a time into the field you are in. That works in any program you can click into, not only in a browser. Power adds ICD-10 and CPT code suggestions, letters and pre-recorded audio upload. Premium adds a writing style learned from your own edits.
Limits: there is no API integration or browser extension for any EHR, so notes are placed at your cursor and the app does not pull your schedule, patient details or prior notes. The ambient scribe works in English only, does not label who is speaking, and records from your microphone, so it does not capture telehealth call audio. The web and phone apps copy or share the note. VoiceboxMD is not SOC 2 certified.
Fits: clinicians who write more than 40 notes a month, want dictation as well as the ambient scribe, or chart in an EHR that is not in a browser. Sources: VoiceboxMD pricing, VoiceboxMD AI medical scribe. For a line-by-line comparison, see Freed vs VoiceboxMD.
When Freed Is the Better Choice
An alternative is not always better. From Freed's own pages, Freed fits better than VoiceboxMD when:
- You write fewer than 40 notes a month. Starter at $39 is the lowest paid price on this page.
- You want to try it without a card. Freed's 7-day trial needs no credit card. VoiceboxMD collects a card at checkout.
- Your visits are not in English. Freed says it captures visits in languages including Spanish, Mandarin, French and Portuguese and writes the note in English. VoiceboxMD's ambient scribe is English only.
- You see patients on Zoom. Freed has a Zoom app that joins the meeting. VoiceboxMD records your microphone only.
- You use one of the 13 browser-based EHRs Freed lists and want one-click push. That is on Premier and Groups.
- You want E/M levels or cited clinical answers. Freed lists a Coding Assistant with E/M codes and a Clinical Evidence feature. VoiceboxMD suggests ICD-10 and CPT codes and does not suggest an E/M level.
- Your organization requires a SOC 2 report. Freed's security page says it is SOC 2 Type 2 certified. VoiceboxMD is not SOC 2 certified.
- You are a resident, student or trainee. Freed's pricing page says "Resident, student, or trainee? Get Core for free".

How to Test an Alternative in One Week
- Count your notes. If you write more than 40 a month, compare plans without a cap.
- List what you need besides the ambient note. Dictation, codes and letters sit on different plans at different vendors.
- Check how the note reaches your EHR. Copy and paste, a browser extension, typing at your cursor, or an integration built with your EHR team.
- Ask for the BAA before you record a real patient. Ask which plans include one and whether the trial does.
- Run the same five visits through each product you are testing. Judge the notes you would actually sign.
For health-system products such as Abridge, Microsoft Dragon Copilot and Suki, see the AI medical scribe buyer's guide. If your question is which scribe fits one EHR, see the guides for Epic, athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, Practice Fusion, NextGen, MEDITECH and Cerner.

How We Built This Page
- One source per fact. Every competitor price and feature comes from that vendor's own website, linked next to it. We did not use review sites, press coverage or sales calls.
- Listed, not ranked. The five alternatives are in alphabetical order. VoiceboxMD is one of them and is labelled as the publisher wherever it appears.
- What we did not test. We did not run the same patient visits through all six products, so this page does not score note accuracy.
- Dated. Prices change often, so the date of each check is at the top of the page. If you find something out of date, write to support@voiceboxmd.com and we will correct it.

Which Freed alternatives include a BAA?
VoiceboxMD includes a BAA on every plan. Twofold's site says "BAA on every plan", and Sunoh's pricing page lists a BAA as included.

Ask any vendor which plans include a BAA before you record patients.
Which alternative works with an EHR that is not in a browser?
Browser extensions such as Freed's EHR push work inside a browser. VoiceboxMD's Windows and Mac apps place the note at your cursor in any program you can click into, including installed EHR programs. In Citrix Workspace on Windows the app types the text instead of pasting it. Citrix in a browser tab, VMware Horizon and Remote Desktop are not supported yet, so test your own setup during the trial.

It depends on how many notes you write and what you need. Freed Starter is $39 a month for up to 40 notes. VoiceboxMD Essential is $49 a month with no note cap and includes dictation.
