Heidi ranks first because it gives away the core job: the free plan includes unlimited ambient documentation, clinical answers with citations and HIPAA-compliant security, so a clinician can run real visits through it before paying anything. The Clinician plan at $110 per user per month billed annually adds custom templates for notes and documents, routines for pre-charting and billing code support, clinical evidence during visits and peer-reviewed journal search. Heidi sells two seat types on Clinician, Standard and Max, and Max expands the monthly limit that Agents and Routines consume; scribing and evidence questions do not use that allowance. A desktop app captures telehealth audio directly from the call and lets you dictate anywhere on screen. The Teams plan, priced by quote, adds EHR integration, shared templates, team controls and SSO. The trade-offs are a paid seat that costs more than Freed or Twofold, and EHR integration that sits on the team tier.

Who it is for

Independent clinicians and small practices that want to start free and add evidence answers, templates and admin routines later.
