Why doctors are switching
The problem with Heidi
Heidi was a popular choice for solo and small-practice docs. Three things changed.
A 10 Pro Action limit
Heidi's free tier caps custom templates and Ask Heidi prompts at just 10 per month — most active clinicians burn through them in days.
Source: Healos pricing reviewReliability concerns
Heidi's Trustpilot rating has fallen to 3.3/5 across 481 reviews, with physicians reporting 3–6 lost sessions per week.

The difference
What ezScribe gives you that Heidi doesn't
Truly unlimited at every tier
Every plan — $49, $64, and $74 — includes unlimited transcriptions across all medical specialties. No usage counters. No surprise upgrade prompts mid-clinic.
No price hikes mid-relationship
You'll never wake up to a 50% price increase. The price you sign up at is the price you keep — predictable $49–$74/month so you can plan your practice budget.
Built by a founder, not VCs
ezScribe is founder-led from Gallatin, Tennessee. Founder Robert Warren reads support tickets himself — you can reach him directly. Decisions serve doctors, not a board.
HIPAA-compliant infrastructure on every plan
TLS 1.3 in transit, AES-256 at rest, audit logs on every action, and automatic 30-day deletion of audio. HIPAA-grade controls are built in from day one — not gated behind an enterprise tier or a sales call.
Simple pricing
All tiers unlimited. Pick the features you need.
Save 50%+ — most competitors charge $79–$149/month. No per-note charges. No usage caps. No surprise upgrades.

Real reviews from clinicians using ezScribe today.
“ezScribe has been a game-changer. Documentation is faster, more accurate, and far less stressful. Instead of spending hours catching up on notes, I am able to stay present with patients and maintain better workflow throughout the day. It captures key details from visits efficiently and organizes them into clear, structured notes that require minimal editing. It has significantly reduced my time spent charting. ezScribe is so easy to use and has made a huge impact on my job!”
Family Health Care of Gallatin
“ezScribe Transcription has been a total game-changer for my practice. Instead of spending my days buried in paperwork, I can finally focus on my patients without the constant distraction of manual charting. The app handles the heavy lifting by transcribing and organizing patient conversations with incredible accuracy, which has drastically cut down on my after-hours work. It's not just about saving time; it's about being more present during appointments and feeling less burnt out at the end of the week. If you're looking to reclaim your schedule and improve the quality of your patient interactions, I can't recommend ezScribe enough.”

Frequently asked
How is ezScribe different from Heidi?

Is my data HIPAA-protected?
Yes. ezScribe is built to HIPAA-compliant standards — encrypted storage (AES-256 at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit), strict access controls designed for PHI, and audit logs on every action.
Do you have a free trial?
Yes — 14 days free, cancel anytime. Decide for yourself with real workflow.
What EHRs do you support?
ezScribe exports structured SOAP notes that drop into any EHR through copy-and-paste or our integration layer. TODO: list specifically supported EHRs (Athena, eClinicalWorks, DrChrono, SimplePractice, etc.) once confirmed.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. No contracts, no minimums, no termination fees. Cancel from your dashboard whenever you want.
How does "unlimited" really work?
Truly unlimited — there is no counter on transcriptions, custom templates, or AI-assisted prompts on any paid tier. We don't meter usage, and we don't push upgrade nags mid-visit. Fair-use policy applies only to abusive automation.
Where is my data stored?
All data is stored on HIPAA-aligned US-based infrastructure with encryption at rest and in transit. TODO: confirm hosting provider, region, and data-retention policy details before launch.
