What is the best AI medical scribe for your practice?

Published prices, July 2026

Taken from each vendor’s own public site in July 2026 and re-verified quarterly. Where a vendor publishes no figure, this table says so rather than repeating a third-party estimate.

Start with your practice setting and specialty

Write down who will use the scribe and who will manage the purchase. Include the number of clinicians who need access, along with any hospital approval process that applies to your setting. In the July 2026 comparison records, Microsoft Dragon Copilot, which includes the former Nuance DAX offering, is sold through health-system enterprise agreements. Nabla serves health systems and telehealth companies. Heidi offers individual signup, and DeepScribe's public positioning focuses on oncology. Use those differences to decide which demonstrations to request. Bring fictional encounters from your specialty and ask to see how each tool handles a follow-up visit with several active problems. Scribeable has dedicated templates for 45 specialties.

Check the work that follows the note

During a demonstration, follow the plan beyond the first draft. Look for how the tool handles a clinical fact that nobody stated clearly, then inspect any coding suggestions against the note. Ask what happens to orders discussed during the visit and where you approve them. Scribeable uses a draft pass followed by a separate AI verification pass that asks a clarification question when the audio or chart context is ambiguous. Its HCC V28 risk-adjustment coding includes an 8,400-entry crosswalk built into the note. Discussed orders enter a queue for clinician review before anything is placed. For any competitor feature that the reviewed materials leave unstated, ask the vendor to demonstrate it and describe the terms for access.

Walk through the EHR workflow before choosing

Have the vendor show where the note lands and what you must do before signing. Include the computer and EHR view you use during a normal shift. With Scribeable, the browser extension inserts the finished note into any web-based EHR with one click; clipboard use covers other environments. Check how the inserted text reads in your chart, including section headings and the assessment. If your organization already provides a scribe, evaluate that approved workflow as part of your comparison. For physicians who move between employers, account ownership also matters. Scribeable accounts belong to the clinician and move with them across employers. Confirm your organization's process for approving use before bringing a personal account into patient care.

Compare the price for the plan you would use

As of July 2026, Freed publishes plans from $39 to $119/month, with E/M, ICD-10, and CPT coding on Premier at $104/month billed annually or $119/month billed monthly. Twofold lists unlimited notes at $49/month billed annually or $69/month billed monthly as of July 2026. The same review records no public dollar price for Heidi, Microsoft Dragon Copilot, Nabla, or DeepScribe as of July 2026. Request written terms when a price is unpublished. Scribeable Lite costs $39/month ($390/year) for 100 notes a month, with no Lite trial. Pro is $79/month ($790/year) for unlimited notes. Founding Physician pricing provides Pro with every Pro feature for $39/month to the first 500 NPI-verified physicians, with the rate held while continuously subscribed.

Read the trial terms and BAA before patient use

Check the trial's note allowance and put its first billing date on your calendar. Every new Scribeable account starts a 14-day Pro trial with a card on file via Stripe Checkout, capped at 150 notes. Cancel before it ends and nothing is charged; otherwise Pro bills $79/month from day 14. Cancellation is available any time from Settings > Billing. There is no permanent free tier: accounts that don't subscribe become read-only, with notes and exports available to read and no new generation. Separately, have the person responsible for privacy review the BAA and recording process before patient use. Scribeable includes a signed BAA on every paid plan, including Lite, and encrypts data in transit and at rest.

Where Scribeable fits

Scribeable is built by a practicing physician for clinicians who want support with the work that follows drafting. For a solo or small practice, evaluate whether the verification pass and coding fit the way you finish a visit. The orders queue gives you a place to review orders discussed during that encounter before anything is placed. Hospitalist physicians can assess the same workflow alongside a clinician-owned account that moves across employers. If your main need is drafting with ongoing free access, the July 2026 records identify options to evaluate: Doximity Scribe is free for verified US clinicians as of July 2026, and Heidi advertises a free tier with unlimited transcription and standard templates as of July 2026. Check those offers against your own workflow.
