| Which plan to pick | There is only one way to buy it: a contract between your organisation and Abridge. If you are a single clinician or small practice, look at Heidi instead. | Starter covers most small teams and is noticeably cheaper paid yearly. Move to Advanced if you manage a portfolio of projects or need workload views. Budget extra if you plan to lean on AI agents, since requests past the included limit are charged per use. | Solo users can stay on Free for a long time. For a team the honest answer is Business, because Plus leaves out the AI that makes Notion interesting now. Note that yearly billing is what gets you the $10 and $20 prices, and monthly billing costs more. |
