The 40-note Starter trap
Freed's $39 Starter tier hard-caps at 40 notes/month — which most primary care physicians blow through in roughly 2 weeks, forcing an upgrade to the $79 Core plan.

Why doctors are switching
The problem with Freed
Freed is a popular AI scribe — but its pricing structure quietly works against busy clinics. Three things to know.
No EHR write-back below Premier
Freed gates native EHR push and ICD-10 coding to its $119 Premier tier — and even then it's delivered via Chrome extension, not a native API.

A 3-provider practice on Freed Core pays $237/mo just to clear the note cap; on Freed Premier it's $357/mo for a usable EHR workflow.

The difference
What ezScribe gives you that Freed doesn't
Truly unlimited at every tier
Every plan — $49, $64, and $74 — includes unlimited transcriptions across all medical specialties. Freed's $39 Starter hard-caps at 40 notes/month; ezScribe Solo is $30/mo cheaper than Freed's unlimited $79 Core and never meters you mid-clinic.
No price hikes mid-relationship
The price you sign up at is the price you keep — backed by our lifetime price-lock guarantee. Predictable $49–$74/month so you can plan your practice budget, with no forced upgrade once you outgrow a note cap.
Built by a founder, not VCs
Freed is a VC-backed, primarily web-based product. ezScribe is founder-led, with free iOS and Android apps on every tier. Founder Robert Warren reads support tickets himself — decisions serve doctors, not a board.
HIPAA-grade BAA on every paid plan
A signed Business Associate Agreement is included on every paid plan from day one — plus bilingual English/Spanish on all tiers, which Freed does not offer. Production-ready out of the box.

Real reviews from clinicians using ezScribe today.
“ezScribe has been a game-changer. Documentation is faster, more accurate, and far less stressful. Instead of spending hours catching up on notes, I am able to stay present with patients and maintain better workflow throughout the day. It captures key details from visits efficiently and organizes them into clear, structured notes that require minimal editing. It has significantly reduced my time spent charting. ezScribe is so easy to use and has made a huge impact on my job!”
Family Health Care of Gallatin
“ezScribe Transcription has been a total game-changer for my practice. Instead of spending my days buried in paperwork, I can finally focus on my patients without the constant distraction of manual charting. The app handles the heavy lifting by transcribing and organizing patient conversations with incredible accuracy, which has drastically cut down on my after-hours work. It's not just about saving time; it's about being more present during appointments and feeling less burnt out at the end of the week. If you're looking to reclaim your schedule and improve the quality of your patient interactions, I can't recommend ezScribe enough.”

Common questions
Frequently asked
How is ezScribe different from Freed?
Every ezScribe tier is unlimited; Freed's Starter plan caps at 40 notes/month. ezScribe Solo is $49/month unlimited versus Freed Core at $79/month unlimited — a $30/mo savings. ezScribe also includes bilingual English/Spanish on every tier; Freed does not. And ezScribe is founder-led with a direct line to the team.
Is my data HIPAA-protected?
Yes. Every paid plan includes a signed Business Associate Agreement, encrypted storage, and access controls designed for PHI. Free-trial accounts move to BAA coverage the moment you convert to a paid plan.
Do you have a free trial?
Yes — 14 days free, no credit card required. Bring your real patient visits (under a trial BAA) and decide for yourself.
What EHRs do you support?
ezScribe exports structured SOAP notes that drop into any EHR through copy-and-paste or our integration layer. TODO: list specifically supported EHRs (Athena, eClinicalWorks, DrChrono, SimplePractice, etc.) once confirmed.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. No contracts, no minimums, no termination fees. Cancel from your dashboard whenever you want.
How does "unlimited" really work?
Truly unlimited — there is no counter on transcriptions, custom templates, or AI-assisted prompts on any paid tier. We don't meter usage, and we don't push upgrade nags mid-visit. Fair-use policy applies only to abusive automation.
Where is my data stored?
All data is stored on HIPAA-aligned US-based infrastructure with encryption at rest and in transit. TODO: confirm hosting provider, region, and data-retention policy details before launch.
