Comparison
Both are ambient scribes bought by the clinician rather than the hospital. The difference is what happens after the note: SyntheNote answers questions about the record and runs the rest of the visit, and it has a free tier you can test on real encounters without a card.
“Loved by 26k+ Clinicians”— Freed's own positioning
Freed is an ambient AI scribe sold directly to independent clinicians, and it is the closest thing to a like-for-like comparison with SyntheNote: the same self-serve buyer, the same monthly per-clinician model, a public price. It is also further along on the thing SyntheNote has least of — named clinicians willing to say it works, and a founder story attached to real people.
| SyntheNote | Freed | |
|---|---|---|
| Entry price | Free, then $13.99 a month | $39 a month, shown reduced from $59 |
| Free path | Free plan: 10 recordings and 25 notes a month, no card | A trial rather than a standing free plan |
| Grounding check | Every sentence traces to the moment in the transcript it came from; sentences matching nothing are flagged | Not a published feature |
| EHR export | PDF, DOCX, text, CSV, FHIR R4 and C-CDA, or copy into the EMR. No direct write-back yet | Copy and paste into the EHR |
| Telehealth | Video visits in the same app | Not part of the product |
| Beyond the note | Ask any patient record a question; scheduling, prescriptions, ICD-10 and CPT suggestions | Focused on documentation |
| Proof | New — no public clinician count yet | 26,000+ clinicians, named testimonials, a signed founder letter |
Freed has thousands of clinicians willing to say so publicly, and SyntheNote does not yet — that is a real difference and the honest reason to be cautious. Neither product writes back directly into an EHR; both stop at an export or a copy. If a long public track record is what decides it for you, Freed has one and we are earlier.
The free plan covers 10 recordings a month and needs no card. That is enough to find out whether the note is one you would sign.
