Summary
Most of this category will not tell you what it costs. Four of the eight scribes below publish no price, and buyers spend weeks on discovery calls to learn a number. So we built the table and dated every cell.
Below is each major ambient scribe, its entry price as its own pricing page shows it, whether you can try it, and what it covers beyond the consultation note. Where a vendor publishes no price, the table says so rather than estimating one. The whole table downloads as a CSV.
We refresh it quarterly and whenever a vendor tells us a figure is wrong. The point is a single honest reference, not a sales page.

How we compiled this
Every figure was read on the vendor's own public pricing or product page on 16 October 2026, and the Source and Read columns say exactly where and when. We make wai, and our own row comes from our own pricing page.
Where a vendor does not publish a price, we write not published rather than repeat an estimate from a blog or a buyer forum, because an unsourced figure about a competitor is exactly the problem this table exists to fix. Prices move and tiers change, so confirm any figure with the vendor before you decide on it.
Why so many hide the price
An unpublished price is a sales tactic. It forces a discovery call, anchors the number in a conversation the vendor controls, and lets the same product cost different buyers different amounts. For enterprise health systems with procurement teams, that is normal and survivable.
For a private clinic it is friction with no upside. You cannot compare what you cannot see, and the weeks spent on calls are weeks the clinic pays for. Four of the eight products on this table publish no price at all, and in a survey of 121 AI scribe products, 42 percent required a demo before disclosing anything at all. The category does not want to be compared. Our own argument for publishing is in why we publish our prices.
The column that matters most
Read the last column before the price column. Nearly every product here covers the note and stops. The phone, the booking, the letters, the coding and the cancellations are somebody else's problem, which in a private clinic means they are yours, after hours.
A low priced scribe that reaches a sixth of the job does not cost less than a platform that reaches all of it. It just moves the cost off the invoice and onto your evening. That is the comparison this index is really for.
Where we sit
wai publishes its price on one page, offers a seven day trial with no card, and covers the note, the letters, the coding and the front desk on one record. We are not the lowest price in the table and we do not claim to be.
We are the line you can check in four seconds and the one that covers the whole day. On this list, that is the honest differentiator, and it is why we were willing to build the table that includes us.
Bring your own clinic to it. Thirty minutes, and you see it on your workflows.

How much does an AI medical scribe cost?
On 16 October 2026 the published prices ran from Freed's Starter at $39 a month and Heidi's Clinician at £70 a month, or £55 billed yearly, to wai at $350 to $550 a clinician a month. Accurx Scribe is priced at 40p to 50p per registered patient a year. Abridge, Suki, Nabla and Microsoft Dragon Copilot publish no price, so learning theirs takes a sales call.
Which AI scribes publish their pricing?
wai, Heidi, Freed and Accurx Scribe publish prices on their own sites. Abridge, Suki, Nabla and Microsoft Dragon Copilot do not, and quote through their sales teams. Every figure in the table links to the page it came from.
Is a cheaper AI scribe better value?
A lower priced AI scribe is not necessarily better value, because most scribes on this list cover only the consultation note. A lower priced tool that reaches a sixth of the job does not cost less than a platform that reaches all of it, it just moves the cost from the invoice to your evening, where the letters, coding and callbacks still wait. Read the beyond-the-note column alongside the price before deciding what value means for your clinic.
How often is this price index updated?
Quarterly, and whenever a vendor tells us a figure is wrong. Every row carries the page it came from and the date it was read, and the full table downloads as a CSV. Confirm any number with the vendor before you act on it.
Why do so many AI scribe vendors hide their price?
An unpublished price is a sales tactic. It forces a discovery call, anchors the number in a conversation the vendor controls, and lets the same product cost different buyers different amounts. For enterprise health systems with procurement teams, that is normal and survivable.
