Summary
Four of the six largest products in our category will not tell you what they cost. A survey of 121 AI scribe products found 42 percent would not disclose anything without a demo first.
We publish the clinician prices on one page. Not as a favour. Because the alternative is a business model we do not want. One product came off that page in October 2026, and the honest account of why is below.
See it in your clinicOne page, one price for a clinician, the same for everyone. No demo required to see it.

One publishes $39 to $119. A second listed $150 until August 2026 and now shows its tiers without figures. The other four do not publish.4Published pricing as at July 2026. The second product withdrew its figures by 30 August 2026, leaving one. One of the four that do not publish is reported to carry a $500 to $2,000 setup fee and a one-year minimum. Another is typically sold through a reseller against an existing software licence position. Two out of six.
One is sold through a reseller against your existing software licences, so the number depends on what else you buy from that supplier. Two practices pay differently for identical software. An unpublished price exists to make that possible rather than to hide a spreadsheet.
What the call is actually for
Discovery. Which means finding out how much you can pay before quoting you. A published price cannot do that, and the discovery call exists precisely because it cannot.
It also costs you a week. You wanted to compare four products on a Tuesday afternoon and instead you have four calendar invitations and a sales cycle.
What it costs us to publish
Real money. We cannot charge a health system more than a four-doctor practice for the same product, and health systems will pay more. Every competitor who does not publish is capturing that and we are not.
We also lose the deals where the number is genuinely too high, without ever getting the chance to talk you round. Those are real losses and we take them.
Why we do it anyway
Because the alternative is a company whose commercial advantage comes from you not knowing something. Once that works, it works everywhere, and the next thing we would keep from you is the retention window or the trial terms.
Publishing is a constraint we put on ourselves to stop that being available.
What else should be published
One number stays unpublished across this entire category. Whether any of it works financially. From 2026 your E/M level turns on Medical Decision Making and the note is the evidence for the code.5From 2026, Medical Decision Making is the primary basis for E/M level selection. AAPC reports up to 19 percent of E/M visits undercoded at roughly $37 each. Reported MA downcoding runs $42 to $74 per visit. Up to 19 percent of E/M visits are undercoded at roughly $37 each.
No vendor publishes a submitted-versus-paid E/M variance figure, ourselves included. Our prices are public and our outcome data is not, and we would rather name that than let the pricing page stand in for it.
What we are not claiming
Publishing a price is not a virtue, it is a choice with a cost we have decided to pay. At least one competitor does it too and we are not special for it, and another did until August 2026.
An enterprise vendor not publishing is also defensible. Enterprise deals are genuinely bespoke and a single number would mislead. We disagree with the conclusion rather than the reasoning.
The one price we stopped publishing
Admin. Until October 2026 it sat on the page at a figure per location, and that figure was wrong in both directions. A two-room practice was quoted for work it did not need. A six-site group was quoted a fraction of the work it did. Admin takes over a clinic’s phones, diary, insurance and payroll, and that is not the same job twice.
So we hold ourselves to the part of this essay that matters. The number does not depend on what you can pay, it depends on your sites, your volume and your setup. You get it on the first call, not after a qualification process. The clinician prices, which really are the same for everybody, stay on the page.
By the argument above, that is a cost we are now paying rather than a position to be proud of. If it ever turns into a way of finding out how much you can pay, we have become the thing this essay is about.
Availability
The clinician prices are on one page, the same for everyone, no setup fee and no minimum term. Admin is scoped to your clinic on a first call.
Frequently asked questions
Which AI medical scribes publish their pricing?
One of the six largest. It publishes $39 for 40 notes, $79 unlimited and $119 with letters and coding. A second listed $150 per user per month billed annually until August 2026 and now shows its tiers without figures, checked 30 August 2026. The other four do not. A survey of 121 AI scribe products found 42 percent required direct vendor contact or a demonstration before disclosing anything at all.
Why do software companies hide their pricing?
Discovery, which means finding out how much you can pay before quoting you. A published price cannot do that, and the call exists precisely because it cannot. One is sold through a reseller against your existing software licences, so the number depends on what else you buy from that supplier and two practices pay differently for identical software. It also costs you a week. You wanted to compare four products on a Tuesday and instead you have four calendar invitations.
Is there anything AI scribe vendors should publish and do not?
Whether any of it works financially. From 2026 E/M level selection turns on Medical Decision Making, so the note is the evidence for the code, and up to 19 percent of E/M visits are undercoded at roughly $37 each.
