Things to Consider
Where the Two Tools Diverge
A few gaps worth knowing before you decide.
No CPT billing codes at any tier
Heidi offers ICD-10 code suggestions on paid plans but no CPT procedure codes at any price. Notiro includes full ICD-10 + CPT on all plans from $99/month — preventing the E/M undercoding that costs independent practices thousands monthly.
EHR integration requires Enterprise plan
On Heidi's $150/month Clinician plan, there is no direct EHR integration. Push-to-chart with athenahealth, Epic, and eClinicalWorks requires the separate Enterprise plan at custom (unreported) pricing.
Price increased 65% in 2026
Heidi rebranded and repriced in early 2026, raising its main paid plan from ~$90/month to $150/month ($1,800/year). For US clinicians, this is now one of the higher price points in the self-serve category — without CPT coding or EHR integration included.
Notiro's Core Advantage
The Complete Clinical Day
Heidi covers the note. Notiro covers what comes before and after it too.
Before — AI Patient Intake
Notiro's intake agent collects patient history and symptoms before the appointment. Heidi has no intake feature at any tier — the pre-visit workflow stays manual.
During — Ambient AI Scribe
Both tools listen in real time and generate structured notes. Heidi's strength is language breadth (110+ languages) and international reach. Notiro is tuned for US independent outpatient clinical workflows.
After — Coding + Orders + Rx
Notiro auto-generates ICD-10 and CPT codes and clinical orders on all plans. Heidi offers partial ICD-10 suggestions on paid plans — no CPT, no clinical orders, no Rx intelligence at any price.
Note on Heidi's 2026 pricing: Heidi raised its main paid plan from ~$90/month to $150/month (Clinician plan) in early 2026. EHR integrations now require a separate Enterprise plan at custom pricing — not included on the standard $150/month plan.

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.
Heidi is built around fast documentation and broad multilingual support. Notiro covers the full clinical day — scribing, patient intake, clinical orders, and ICD-10/CPT coding — with coding automation included at every tier, not layered on separately.
Coding support on comparable platforms is often gated to higher-priced tiers. Notiro includes ICD-10 and CPT code suggestions on every plan starting at $29/month, so coding isn't an upsell reserved for practices that can afford to scale up.
Yes — Notiro is built specifically around the US independent practice workflow: Athenahealth integration, US billing codes, and HIPAA/BAA compliance, rather than spreading focus across broad international language coverage.
Notiro is a certified Athenahealth integration partner with notes and coding syncing directly into the EHR. Other major EHRs are supported through a secure browser-based push, so your workflow isn't limited to copy-paste.
