The report card
Best for an AI scribe that writes visit notes
Heidi writes notes from a visit, with unlimited ambient documentation on the free plan for one seat. The Clinician plan is $110 a user a month billed yearly, EHR links, shared templates and SSO sit on the custom-priced Teams plan, and it is a note tool, not a record, scheduling or billing system.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | D | Clinician is $110 a user a month billed yearly ($150 monthly), which is above the $79 line for the dearest tenth of therapy-clinics tools. |
| Free plan and trial | B | Free for one seat with unlimited ambient notes and standard templates, plus a 14-day Clinician trial. Agents and evidence answers are limited on free. |
| Features | C | Notes, templates, evidence answers and routines. It drafts notes only, so it is a smaller job than an EHR. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. You install the app, pick templates and link your EHR. |
| Platforms and integrations | A | Web, Mac, Windows, iPhone and Android with Epic, Cerner, athenahealth and more. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Heidi Health is for
- Fits if you are one clinician who wants free note drafting
- Works for a practice that already has an EHR and needs the notes written
Who it is not for
- Not for you if you need scheduling, billing or client records, as it drafts notes only
- Pricey if you want custom templates or Routines: Clinician is $110 a month billed yearly
- Watch out: agent and Routine features use a monthly allowance, and a Max seat costs more
- Skip it if you want EHR integration, shared templates or SSO, which are Teams-only
- Watch out: the page shows Clinician pricing in the viewer's currency, and $110 is the US view

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Heidi Health you would be making dictation that types into any app on your computer. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It costs $1,320 a year.
What you could make
- Clinical notes and templates: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Dictation that types into any app on your computer.
- Speech turned into text you can trust.
- Apps for macOS, Windows, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other.
- It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
- It plugs into other products, Epic, Oracle Cerner and athenahealth among them.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Heidi Health’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
