Notiro
Complete Platform
The Freed AI alternative for practices that need more than notes. Intake before visits, ambient notes during, ICD-10 + CPT coding after — from $29/month, no sales call. Add diagnosis support and prescription intelligence, and nothing at this price comes close.
Freed AI
A well-built, notes-focused AI scribe. 26K+ clinicians, $34M Sequoia-backed. Ambient notes done well — but ICD-10/CPT coding requires the $119/mo Premier plan, and there’s no intake, no orders, and no diagnosis support at any tier.

Things to Consider
Where the Two Tools Diverge
A few gaps worth knowing before you decide.
Billing codes are tier-gated
On Freed, ICD-10 and CPT code generation is only available on the Premier plan. Lower plans leave coding as a manual step.
Notes only — no intake or orders
Freed focuses on the note itself. There's no pre-visit patient intake agent and no post-visit clinical orders at any tier. For practices that want a full-day workflow in one tool, that's a gap Notiro is built to close.
Per-seat model for group practices
Freed requires a separate subscription for each clinician, with shared team templates on a separate Groups plan. For small group practices, costs can multiply quickly without shared tools.
Notiro's Core Advantage
The Complete Clinical Day
Freed covers the note. Notiro covers what comes before and after it too.
Before — AI Patient Intake
Notiro collects patient history, symptoms, and vitals from patients before they walk into the exam room. The clinician walks in already briefed. Freed has no patient intake feature, at any tier.
During — Ambient AI Scribe
Both Notiro and Freed listen in real time and generate structured SOAP notes. Notiro's medically-tuned AI is noise robust and specialty-aware, adapting to your documentation style over time.
After — Coding + Orders + Rx
Notiro auto-generates ICD-10 and CPT codes, creates clinical orders, and surfaces prescription intelligence, all from the same visit recording. Freed offers partial coding only on its $119/mo Premier plan.
The only platform covering the entire clinical day, intake before, notes during, coding and orders after. At this price point, nothing else comes close."

Choose the Right Tool
Which Tool Right for You?
Both tools work for independent practices. Here's how to choose.
Choose Notiro if you:
Want ICD-10 + CPT coding without paying top-tier pricing
Need a complete clinical day, intake, notes, coding, and orders in one platform
Practice in Internal Medicine, Family Practice, or Psychiatry where coding accuracy directly affects revenue
Are concerned about undercoding and missed billing codes
Want AI diagnosis support and prescription intelligence
Run a solo or small group practice and need everything to work without an IT team
Want a platform that grows with your practice — from solo to multi-site
Freed AI may suit you if you:
Want the lowest possible entry price to try an AI scribe
Only need ambient note generation with minimal setup
Are in a specialty where coding is handled elsewhere (e.g. centralized billing team)
Prioritize brand recognition and a large user community
Are evaluating whether AI scribing is right for you with a low-commitment trial
What You're Actually Getting
What Notiro Adds to the Equation
The features that set Notiro apart from Freed and other AI scribes.
AI Diagnosis Support (DDx)
Notiro surfaces AI-assisted differential diagnosis suggestions based on documented symptoms, patient history, and clinical context. Freed has no DDx feature at any tier.
AI Patient Intake
Before the visit even begins, Notiro's intake agent collects patient history and symptoms. You walk into the room briefed. Saves 10–15 minutes per patient. Freed has no intake module.
AI Medical Coding — ICD-10 + CPT
Notiro automatically generates ICD-10 diagnosis codes and CPT billing codes from the visit recording. Every missed code is revenue lost. Freed only provides this on its $119/mo Premier plan.
Prescription Intelligence
Notiro surfaces prescription recommendations and context during documentation. Freed has no prescription intelligence feature at any tier.

Frequently asked questions
Find quick answers to the most common questions about Notiro — how it works, what it documents, and how it fits into your clinical workflow.
Freed focuses on note generation. Notiro covers the entire clinical day — ambient scribing, patient intake, clinical orders, and ICD-10/CPT coding — at the same starting price point, with more of your workflow handled in one place.
Coding automation isn't part of Freed's core note-taking tier — it's bundled into their higher-priced plan. Notiro generates ICD-10 and CPT code suggestions from every encounter automatically, on every plan, from $29/month.
Per-clinician pricing adds up fast for multi-provider practices. Notiro's plans are built to scale with a practice, not just an individual account, which tends to matter more once you're past a solo setup.
Most practices are seeing patients on Notiro within a day. There's no lengthy migration process, and Professional and Enterprise plans include dedicated onboarding support for teams switching from another scribe.
