DeepScribe vs Freed
DeepScribe's homepage headline is "The ambient AI made for oncology," and it adds pre-charting plus E/M, ICD-10 and HCC coding, which makes community oncology groups on OncoEMR or iKnowMed its buyers. It publishes no price. Third-party estimates run $350 to $500 per provider per month on annual contracts plus $500 to $5,000 setup, and some of those estimates come from competitors, Freed among them.
Freed suits an independent practice on SimplePractice, Tebra, Elation or athenahealth. Premier is $119 per month, $104 on the annual toggle, and adds a Chrome extension that pushes notes into browser-based EHRs. Starter is $39 per month but capped at 40 notes. Core, with unlimited notes, is $79 per month by third-party reading, since the page shows two numbers. That makes DeepScribe the loser for a solo family physician paying out of pocket: $79 for unlimited notes against an estimated $350 to $500, with no public trial. A family physician on r/FamilyMedicine (2025) called Freed basic by design and short on complex visits. No native Epic integration is listed, and a January 2026 thread says it outputs bullets rather than paragraphs.
