Freed is a visit scribe.
Freed centers on visit documentation, including an ED offering. Clinical Evidence starts with Core; patient-context chat, documents, and EHR Push are listed in Premier.
palmER is built for your entire shift.
Keep multiple workups moving. Turn your chart into an EM-native MDM, get clinical answers, prepare consult calls, and review the chart before you sign. palmER also spots documentation needs for critical care, procedures, and sepsis and drafts the supporting notes. Finish with discharge instructions, work notes, and school notes. All in one subscription.
You signed one note. What else still exists?
Freed's recording and note retention depends on its settings and terms. palmER never stores ambient audio and deletes patient data within 24 hours.
Your signed note belongs in your EHR. The drafts, transcripts, and questions that helped you get there don't need a permanent home in your AI tool. With palmER, they expire automatically.
What the public documents say.
Freed's security page describes recording deletion after note completion and optional 30-day note deletion. Its Platform Terms let users delete recordings after processing or retain them with other data for 30 days or the agreement term; the 30-day option includes seven additional backup days. The terms permit AI/ML training with consent through platform settings.
Help on shift. Patient data gone within 24 hours.
Audio is never stored. Transcripts, drafts, edits, and questions automatically delete within 24 hours. Patient data is never used to train AI models.
palmER and Freed compared.
Freed documents live and file-upload capture, multiple voices, ambient-noise handling, and specialty templates.
Ambient Scribe auto-generates HPI and Physical Exam from live encounters and adds the results, plans, consults, reassessments, and disposition discussed to the MDM, where they can be edited anytime; audio is transcribed and immediately discarded.
The ED page says Freed captures physical-exam details, but the note it generates is a SOAP note, a clinic format rather than an ED HPI and exam.
Dedicated HPI and Physical Exam Assistants with complaint-specific positives and negatives.
The EHR Push page describes a Chrome extension that maps and transfers notes with one click into browser-based EHRs and names Athena, PracticeFusion, Tebra, and SimplePractice among more than a dozen claimed systems.
Works alongside any EMR without requiring an integration.
The live pricing page rendered Starter at $39/month for up to 40 notes, Core at $79/month with unlimited notes and Clinical Evidence, and Premier at $104/month billed annually or $119/month monthly.

Clinical Evidence and clinical decision support are named, but an ED differential generator is not described.

An ED FAQ asks about multiple providers in a shift, but the reviewed page does not establish a multi-patient tracking surface.

Less charting. More shift handled.

Asked often. Answered plainly.
Is palmER a good Freed alternative?+
Yes. palmER was built for emergency and urgent care clinicians who want help with their entire shift: EM-native MDM, multiple active workups, clinical answers, consult preparation, chart review, and discharge documents. You can start yourself, use it beside any EMR, and try every tool free for 30 days.
How does Freed fit emergency medicine?+
Freed markets an ED Scribe, but the note it promises is a SOAP note with codes, a clinic format, within a product centered on independent practices. Its public pages do not describe an ED MDM. palmER was built specifically for emergency medicine and urgent care.
Does Freed offer a public free trial?+
Public 7-day free trial with no credit card; the Platform Terms say the number of trial visits is disclosed at signup. palmER offers a 30-day free trial with no credit card required.
What does Freed cost?+
The live pricing page rendered Starter at $39/month for up to 40 notes, Core at $79/month with unlimited notes and Clinical Evidence, and Premier at $104/month billed annually or $119/month monthly. Groups pricing is custom. palmER is $199/month for unlimited access to every tool. Approved students and residents pay $49/month after verification. The full-access 30-day trial requires no credit card and ends without automatic billing.
What does Freed retain after an encounter?+
Freed's security page describes recording deletion after note completion and optional 30-day note deletion. Its Platform Terms let users delete recordings after processing or retain them with other data for 30 days or the agreement term; the 30-day option includes seven additional backup days. The terms permit AI/ML training with consent through platform settings. palmER never stores encounter audio, automatically deletes patient data within 24 hours, and uses AI providers under zero-retention agreements.
How does palmER compare on MDM?+
Paste your chart and palmER builds a structured ED MDM, including clinical reasoning, differential, data reviewed, risk, and disposition. You do not need to write out the reasoning first. palmER also uses the results, plans, consults, reassessments, and disposition you discuss during ambient scribing, and updates an existing MDM when you discuss something new. A dedicated ED MDM workflow was not established in the Freed sources reviewed. With palmER, chart review, clinical answers, consult preparation, and discharge tools are included in the same subscription.
What about EHR integration?+
Freed documents one-click Chrome-extension push into browser-based EHRs and names Athena, PracticeFusion, Tebra, and SimplePractice among more than a dozen claimed systems. palmER works alongside any EMR without requiring an integration.
