Comparison

SyntheNote vs Freed

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.

What Freed is

“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.

Where SyntheNote is behind

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.

Questions people ask

Is SyntheNote cheaper than Freed?
Yes at every paid tier, and there is a free plan. SyntheNote starts at $13.99 a month against Freed’s $39, and the free plan covers 10 recordings and 25 notes a month with no card. Price is not the reason to switch on its own — test the note on a real visit first.
Can I try SyntheNote without a credit card?
Yes. The free plan is a standing plan rather than a timed trial: 10 recordings and 25 notes a month, 5GB of storage, on iPhone, Android and the web.
Does either one write the note into my EHR?
Neither does. SyntheNote exports PDF, DOCX, plain text, CSV, FHIR R4 JSON and C-CDA XML, or copies straight into the EMR you already use. Direct write-back is on the roadmap and is not available today.
What does SyntheNote do that an ambient scribe does not?
It keeps going after the note: you can ask any patient’s record a question and get an answer with dated citations back to the source note, and the visit itself — scheduling, video visits, prescriptions, ICD-10 and CPT suggestions — runs in the same app.

Try it on a real visit

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.
