Doctor Notes vs Twofold

Updated June 2026 · By Raj Lakhani, Founder

Twofold is one of the cheapest unlimited AI scribes — around $49 a month billed annually — and it’s template-rich with strong clinician reviews. I build Doctor Notes for doctors only — $99 a month for up to 300 notes, or $199 for up to 600 on Pro — and I add a cited clinical second-read on every note that Twofold doesn’t have. If price is the deciding factor, Twofold is likely cheaper. If you want an evidence-checked note built specifically for doctors, that’s where I think Doctor Notes fits.

Twofold competes hard on price, and fairly. I’m more expensive, so this only makes sense if what I add is worth it to you. Here’s the honest version.

Where Doctor Notes is better

  • A cited clinical second-read on every note — red flags and citations from PubMed, Europe PMC and the FDA label. Twofold doesn’t do this.
  • It reads attached photos — x-ray, ECG, labs — and drafts and double-checks the Assessment & Plan, rather than only writing up the visit.
  • Built for doctors only, so the templates and defaults are tuned for physician notes rather than every clinician type.

Where Twofold is better

  • Cheaper — around $49 a month billed annually, against my $99 a month for up to 300 notes.
  • Broader templates across many specialties and clinician types.
  • A lot of strong, verified G2 and Capterra reviews.

So which should you pick?

If you want built-in coding, direct EHR integration, or the widest template library, the other tool is probably the better fit — and I’d rather you knew that here than found out after signing up. If you want simple, predictable pricing — $99 a month for up to 300 notes, or $199 for up to 600 on Pro — a tool built for doctors only, and a cited clinical second-read on every note — red flags and citations from PubMed, Europe PMC and the FDA label — that’s what I built Doctor Notes to do.

Frequently asked

Is Twofold cheaper than Doctor Notes?

Yes. Twofold is around $49 a month billed annually; Doctor Notes is $99 a month for up to 300 notes (or $199 for up to 600 on Pro). I’m not the budget pick. What you pay more for is a doctor-only tool and a cited clinical second-read on every note.

What does Doctor Notes add over Twofold?

A cited clinical second-read — it flags missing info and contraindications and backs them with citations from PubMed, Europe PMC, openFDA and DailyMed, for you to review. Twofold focuses on fast, template-rich notes.

Are both HIPAA-safe?

Yes. Both encrypt data, delete the audio after the note, and include a BAA. With Doctor Notes you can’t record a real patient until the BAA is signed.
