ProOur pick $7/mo, or $5/mo billed yearly Anyone who wants more projects and the calendar view. | ||
Business $10/user/mo, or $8/user/mo billed yearly Small teams sharing a workspace. | ||
| 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. | Beginner is fine until you hit the five-project wall. Pro on the yearly plan is the obvious move after that. Business is for teams who want a shared space; it is not a substitute for a real project tool. |
