ClearPass vs Freed
Freed and ClearPass are both self-serve AI scribes for individual clinicians, and both write the final note in English from a visit held in other languages. They differ in how plans are split, in apps and EMR push, and in what comes after the note. Here are the facts, with Freed's taken from its own pages.
What each product is
Freed sells to individual clinicians and to groups. Its pricing page shows three individual plans. Starter is advertised from $39 a month and allows up to 40 notes a month. Core adds unlimited note generation, an instant template builder and clinical evidence answers, and is free for residents, students and trainees. Premier costs $119 a month billed monthly or $104 a month billed annually, and adds visit summaries, patient instructions, letters and referrals, EHR push to browser-based EHRs, dictation with saved phrases, and ICD-10 and CPT coding. A Groups plan has custom pricing. Every individual plan starts with a 7-day trial that needs no card.
ClearPass has one plan for everyone after a 7-day trial that needs no card and ends without an automatic charge. The single plan includes transcribed visits, the note structures, the letters and documents, ICD-10 and procedure codes, and the insurance letter modes. There are no tiers that unlock features.

Where Freed has the edge
- A cheaper entry point if you see few patients: the Starter plan covers up to 40 notes a month.
- A native iOS app, and a help centre that describes features such as resuming a visit in the app.
- One-click push into browser-based EHRs on Premier. ClearPass only offers copy and paste.
- Freed can learn your format: its pricing page describes editing a note and asking Freed to apply that style to future notes.
- Groups can arrange an organization-wide BAA, medical assistant seats, note sharing and SSO.
Where ClearPass differs
- Nothing is gated by tier. Referral letters, sick notes, patient instructions, medical reports and codes are in the one plan.
- Prior authorization and denied-claim letters come from the same visit. Rejection Analysis offers a Targeted Fix with a new justification and codes, or a Full Rewrite.
- A numbers check marks any figure in the note that never appeared in the transcript, so you know where to look first.
- Guided templates: 300+ case templates across 19 specialty groups, plus seven note structures including your own.
- Your note history lives in your browser on your device, not on ClearPass servers.
A fair test
Both trials last a week and neither needs a card, so the easiest way to choose is to use both on the same kind of day. Pick a routine follow-up, a new patient with several problems, and one visit in a second language if you have them. With each patient's agreement, run the visit through one tool, then write the same case into the other by typing or pasting the transcript.
Score the drafts yourself: what was missed, what was added that nobody said, and how many minutes the edit took. Then weigh the extras you would actually use. If you would pay for the Premier tier mainly for letters and codes, compare that cost with a single plan that already includes them; if EHR push matters most, Freed offers it and ClearPass does not.

What ClearPass does not do
- It does not replace your judgement. Every note is an AI draft that you review and correct before it is used.
- It is not a medical device and does not make clinical decisions. It is a documentation aid.
- It does not connect to your EMR. The note is copy-ready text that pastes into any system.
Privacy
Clinical note content is not stored on ClearPass servers: it is processed to write the note, then discarded. Consultation audio is transcribed and discarded, never stored. Your note history stays in your browser, on your device, and you choose how long it is kept. Common identifiers are removed from typed and transcribed text before it reaches the AI; that is a best-effort safeguard, so leave names, ID numbers and file numbers out where you can. Processing goes through the AI providers named in our Privacy Policy, which sets out exactly what each one receives and how long it keeps it. ClearPass does not sign HIPAA business associate agreements today.
Questions
Does Freed limit the number of notes?
On the Starter plan, yes: its pricing page says up to 40 notes per month. Core and Premier list unlimited note generation. ClearPass has no note count on its plan.
Do both write notes in English from other languages?
Yes. Freed says the final SOAP note is generated in English from visits in many languages. ClearPass also writes every note in English, and detects the visit language automatically.
Which one pushes the note into my EMR?
Freed's Premier plan lists EHR push to browser-based EHRs. ClearPass has no EMR connection; you paste the note.
Does Freed keep the audio?
Freed's FAQ says audio is held temporarily until the note and quality checks are complete, then deleted automatically. ClearPass transcribes the audio and discards it without storing it.
What does ClearPass cost?
The 7-day trial is free, needs no card and simply ends after 7 days, with no automatic charge. After that there is one plan: $78 a month or $858 a year, with every visit transcribed.
