Freed vs Nabla
A randomized NEJM AI trial put Nabla against DAX Copilot and usual care across 238 physicians and more than 48,000 visits. Nabla users spent 9.5% less time in notes than the control group, while DAX's change was not significant. Nabla was used in about 29.5% of visits.
Freed has Reddit users, mostly positive and a few mixed, and a price list: Starter from $39 per month, Premier with EHR push and coding at $119 per month, a seven-day trial, and free Core access for residents and students. Nabla lists no price, and its terms bill per authorized user per month in euros. A third-party figure of $119 to $239 per clinician per month circulates, probably from 2025.
Nabla says it is deployed at 130-plus organizations, and a health system wanting controlled evidence gets nothing like it from Freed. Nabla is the one to drop for a solo practice paying out of pocket.
