Freed vs LucasAI (2026)
Freed and LucasAI both sell ambient scribes that a clinician can start without a sales call, with published monthly prices, and a hospitalist's public review compares the two. Freed keeps the scribe simple; LucasAI layers more revenue cycle tools around it. Freed reports more than 26,000 clinicians and returns a SOAP note within a minute or two. Plans run from $39 to $119 a month, its business associate agreement is published in full, and it holds SOC 2 Type II. EHR Push moves the finished note into browser based systems through a Chrome extension, and coding suggestions, Clinical Evidence and a Front Desk receptionist sit alongside. LucasAI's plans run from $39.99 to $999 a month. Beyond the note it adds coding confirmed by the clinician or coder, HCC and V28 analytics, prior authorization support, wound care DME ordering and, on its top plan, voice agents and sub acute care. Freed suits a solo or small practice that wants a proven, well documented scribe; LucasAI suits one that wants coding and authorization help bundled in.
