Lyrebird vs Medical Scribe
Lyrebird's Pro plan is $160 per month billed annually with a 14-day trial, and its clinic plans start at $299 per month plus GST, with no currency stated on the page. Medical Scribe lists Professional at $42 per user per month, its press page says $49, and neither figure names a currency. The code FRIENDS30 gives new clinicians 30% off. Medical Scribe records visits, transcribes with speech-to-text trained on medical terminology and writes SOAP notes from specialty templates.
Lyrebird also prepares CCMP, MHTP, Centrelink, WorkCover and NDIS forms, which is what an Australian allied health or GP clinic doing that paperwork buys it for. A Melbourne GP who wants to start free gets 10 visits in total from Medical Scribe and a Free plan with no stated action limit from Lyrebird, so Medical Scribe trails on that point. Medical Scribe is the buy for a clinician who wants specialty note templates on a per-user subscription and has no Australian forms to produce.

Pricing
Lyrebird
| Tier | Monthly | Annual | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | n/a | n/a | Free for everyone. No action limit is stated on the page. The page does not label its currency; AUD is inferred from the GST on the clinic plans. |
| Best Practice Free | n/a | n/a | Included via Best Practice. Check eligibility. |
| Pro | AUD 160 | n/a | Monthly/Annual toggle: $1,920 billed annually, "Save 33%". The $160 figure sits beside the annual total, so the month-to-month rate is not captured. Try 14 days free. |
| Essentials | AUD 299 | n/a | Clinic plan, "From $299 + GST" per month, paid annually. |
| Starter | AUD 799 | n/a | Clinic plan, "From $799 + GST" per month, paid annually. |

Medical Scribe
| Tier | Monthly | Annual | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | n/a | n/a | 10 visits in total, no credit card. The page does not label its currency; USD is assumed from the "$" signs. |
| Professional | $42 | n/a | Per user. The annual toggle shows "billed at $499 per year" and "Save $100", but 12 x $42 = $504, so the page figures do not reconcile. The press page says "$49/month for unlimited use". Trial length not stated. |
| Enterprise | n/a | n/a | No public price. Custom, "volume pricing for teams". |
