How to Cancel Freed AI: Steps, Refund Policy & What to Do With Your Notes (2026)

How to cancel your Freed AI subscription step by step — refund policy, annual-plan timing, what happens to your notes and templates, and how to switch scribes without a documentation gap.

How to cancel Freed AI — a calendar with the renewal date ringed in coral flowing into a fresh clinical note, representing timing your cancellation before renewal and switching AI scribes without a documentation gap.

To cancel Freed AI, sign in to your Freed account on a web browser, open Settings via the gear icon, go to Plan and Billing → Subscription, and complete the cancellation on the Stripe billing page you're redirected to. You keep full access until the end of your current billing cycle, and Freed does not offer refunds by default — so on an annual plan, timing matters. If you subscribed through the Apple App Store or Google Play, you must cancel through Apple or Google instead; Freed cannot modify those subscriptions.

This guide covers the exact steps, Freed's refund policy, what happens to your notes and templates after you cancel, and how to switch to a new AI scribe without a gap in your documentation workflow.

Disclosure: this guide is published by Twofold Health, an AI scribe many clinicians choose as a Freed alternative. Every Freed policy detail below is drawn from Freed's official help center, linked in Sources, and was last verified in July 2026. Policies and pricing change — confirm current terms on Freed's site before you act.

How to Cancel Freed AI (Step by Step)

01
Sign in to Freed on the web
Use a desktop browser rather than the mobile app — subscription management lives in your web account.
02
Open Settings
Click the gear icon in your Freed account to open Settings.
03
Go to Plan and Billing → Subscription
Select Subscription under the Plan and Billing section.
04
Complete the cancellation in Stripe
Freed redirects you to a Stripe billing page — confirm the cancellation there.
05
Save the confirmation
Keep the confirmation email or a screenshot showing your end-of-cycle date, so you know exactly when access ends.

If you subscribed through the Apple App Store or Google Play, cancel in your Apple or Google subscription settings instead. Per Freed's help center, Freed cannot manage or modify any App Store or Google Play subscriptions — including cancellations, refunds, or billing adjustments.

Timing
Freed bills through the end of the current cycle with no partial refunds. Cancel at least a few days before your renewal date — on the annual plan, missing the date can mean paying $1,248 for another full year.

Does Freed AI Offer Refunds?

No — Freed states that it does not offer refunds by default for any cancellations. On a monthly plan, the worst case is paying through the current month. On the annual Premier plan ($1,248 billed upfront), cancelling mid‑term means the unused months are a sunk cost — you keep access until the term ends, but the money is not returned.

If you believe your situation warrants an exception — for example, a billing error or duplicate charge — contact Freed's support through the in‑app messenger or support@getfreed.ai. Exceptions are case by case; the only reliable protection is a calendar reminder a week before your renewal date.

Bar chart: value forfeited if you cancel a $1,248 Freed annual plan in month 1 through 12 of the term. Freed offers no refunds by default, so cancelling in month 1 forfeits $1,144 of unused months, declining to $0 only when you cancel before the renewal date.

What Happens to Your Notes and Templates After You Cancel

According to Freed's help center, cancelling a subscription does not immediately erase your work:

  • You retain full access to your Freed account until the end of the current billing cycle.
  • All templates and personalization are retained in your account after cancellation.
  • Notes depend on your retention setting: if set to keep notes forever, they remain accessible; if set to auto-delete after 30 days, they are removed automatically on that schedule.
  • Your account itself remains intact unless you separately request permanent deletion from Freed support.
PHI reminder
Anything you copy out of Freed contains protected health information. Move final note versions into your EHR or another HIPAA-appropriate system — not personal drives, email, or consumer cloud storage.

Before You Cancel: A 10-Minute Checklist

01
Check your renewal date
Find it on the Stripe billing page (Settings → Plan and Billing → Subscription). This is your deadline for a no-cost exit.
02
Check your note-retention setting
If notes are set to auto-delete after 30 days, copy anything you still need before cancelling.
03
Confirm the chart is complete
Your EHR is the legal record. Verify final versions of recent notes made it into the chart — don't rely on Freed as note storage.
04
Save your custom templates
Templates stay in your Freed account, but you'll want their structure on hand to rebuild them in your next tool. Copy the section headers and instructions into a document.
05
Line up your replacement before access ends
You keep Freed access until the cycle ends — that window is the ideal time to trial the next scribe on real visits, so you never chart unassisted.

Why Clinicians Cancel Freed

Freed is a capable ambient scribe, and clinicians consistently praise its time savings. But a few themes recur in reviews and forum threads when clinicians explain a switch:

  • Editing overhead — the Assessment & Plan can be over-inclusive, and some clinicians report spending longer editing than they would writing.
“I found myself taking 10 minutes to edit the freed note when it would've taken me five minutes to compose it on my own.” — Carl Kasselvania (Apple App Store)
  • Note caps on the entry plan — Starter ($39/mo) is limited to 40 notes per month, so a full caseload effectively requires Core at $79/mo.
  • Generic-sounding notes — Freed offers templates and a template builder, but clinicians who want notes in their own clinical voice often look for style learning.
  • Mental-health depth — therapists and psychiatric clinicians frequently want treatment plans, progress tracking across sessions, and therapy-native formats beyond a standard SOAP.

For the full breakdown of where each tool is stronger, see our Freed vs Twofold comparison and the Freed AI pricing guide.

Choosing a Replacement: What to Compare

Whatever you switch to, evaluate it on the dimensions that made you cancel — not on a feature list. The criteria that matter most for clinicians leaving Freed:

  • Predictable pricing with no note caps — a flat price that doesn't climb when your caseload does.
  • Notes in your clinical voice — the tool should learn your phrasing and detail level, not fight it.
  • Multiple capture modes — ambient recording for sessions, dictation or a typed summary for the visits you don't record.
  • Specialty depth — for behavioral health especially: SOAP, DAP, BIRP, GIRP, treatment plans, and progress tracking across sessions.
  • EHR independence — it should work alongside the EHR you already use, with no platform switch.
  • Security posture — a signed BAA on every plan, and clarity on whether audio is stored at all.
  • A trial you can run before your Freed access ends — ideally without a credit card.

Where Twofold Stands as the Freed Alternative

Twofold Health is built around exactly the friction points above, which is why it consistently tops our and third‑party Freed alternative rankings. It generates notes in your own clinical voice — learning your phrasing over your first few sessions — supports ambient, dictation, and typed‑summary capture, includes unlimited notes on every paid plan, and adds the mental‑health depth (treatment plans, progress tracking, DAP/BIRP/GIRP and 70+ templates) that generalist scribes treat as an afterthought. Every account gets a signed BAA, audio is never stored, and it works alongside any EHR.

Use Your Remaining Freed Access to Test the Switch

Because Freed access runs through the end of your billing cycle, you can evaluate a replacement side by side on real visits with zero documentation gap:

01
Start the trial before you cancel
Twofold's 7-day trial requires no card, so there's no double-billing risk while both are active.
02
Rebuild your top two templates
Recreate the templates you actually use daily first — that's 90% of the workflow.
03
Run both tools on the same visits for 3–5 days
Generate the note in both and compare the only metric that matters: minutes from end of visit to signed note.
04
Decide before your cycle ends
If the new tool wins, finish moving any remaining notes into your EHR and let the Freed cycle lapse.

Bottom Line

Cancelling Freed takes two minutes: Settings → Plan and Billing → Subscription → confirm in Stripe (or via Apple/Google if you subscribed there). The decisions that actually matter are timing — cancel before renewal, because there are no refunds by default — and continuity: secure your notes, rebuild your templates, and trial the replacement while your access is still live. If Freed's editing overhead, note caps, or generic voice are why you're leaving, start a Twofold trial during your remaining Freed window and compare them on your own visits.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

  • How do I cancel my Freed AI subscription?

    Sign in to Freed on a web browser, open Settings via the gear icon, select Subscription under Plan and Billing, and complete the cancellation on the Stripe billing page you're redirected to. You keep full access until the end of your current billing cycle. If you subscribed through the Apple App Store or Google Play, cancel through Apple or Google instead — Freed cannot manage those subscriptions.

  • Does Freed AI give refunds when you cancel?

    No — Freed does not offer refunds by default for any cancellations. Monthly plans simply bill through the current month. On the annual plan ($1,248 upfront), cancelling mid‑term means unused months are a sunk cost, though access continues until the term ends. For billing errors, contact support@getfreed.ai — exceptions are case by case. Set a reminder before your renewal date to avoid an unwanted charge.

  • What happens to my notes and templates after I cancel Freed?

    Cancelling does not immediately erase your work, but a few details matter:

    • Templates and personalization are retained in your account.
    • Notes follow your retention setting — kept forever, or auto-deleted after 30 days if that option is enabled.
    • Your account remains intact unless you separately request permanent deletion.
    • Before cancelling, confirm final note versions are in your EHR — the chart, not the scribe, is the legal record.
  • What is the best alternative to Freed AI after cancelling?

    For most clinicians — especially in mental and behavioral health — Twofold Health is the strongest Freed alternative. It offers unlimited notes on every paid plan, learns your clinical voice instead of producing generic notes, supports ambient, dictation, and typed‑summary capture, includes treatment plans and progress tracking, signs a BAA on every plan, never stores audio, and works alongside any EHR. Its 7‑day trial requires no card, so you can run it side by side with Freed during your remaining access and compare notes on real visits.
