Both tools turn patient conversations into clinical notes. The difference is how much of the documentation workflow each one covers.
Overview
Wavo is a full clinical workspace: unlimited ambient notes, dictation, specialty templates, cited clinical answers, ICD-10/E/M/HCC coding, visit prep, and patient dashboards—in one transparent Pro plan.
Overview

Decision guide
Wavo Health
Choose Wavo if…
Wavo’s single Pro plan includes everything: scribe + templates + clinical assistant with citations + full coding support + patient story + mobile. One price, no tiers to navigate.
Freed
Choose Freed if…
Freed can be a good fit for clinicians who want a simple, low-friction scribe and do not need coding, cited evidence, or longitudinal patient context.
Watch out: Unlimited notes, AI editing, coding, and EHR push require Core/Premier tiers (~$79–104/mo); lower tiers cap usage.
