CareBeam vs Freed
Freed shows Starter at $39 per month for up to 40 notes (the card also shows a struck-through $59), Premier at $119 monthly or $104 on annual billing as third parties read the toggle, with EHR push to browser-based EHRs and coding, and a custom Groups tier. A 7-day free trial is listed, and residents, students and trainees can get Core free. Sequoia led a $30M Series A in March 2025, and Freed states SOC 2 Type 1 and Type 2 certification. A Reddit reviewer called it basic, adding that this was the point, and not strong enough for their complex visits. CareBeam sells by demo and is built around revenue, with E/M suggestions, undercoding detection and chart audits before claims go out, and it names athenahealth, ModMed, Healthie, eClinicalWorks, Veradigm and Greenway for direct integration. Chart audit is not among Freed's listed features, so a multispecialty group that wants charts checked before claims leave has reason to book a CareBeam demo. A family practice weighing a posted price against a trial has both at Freed.
