Free vs paid HIPAA AI

Does the free plan include a BAA, or not

If the free tier cannot sign a BAA, it is a demo, not a healthcare tool. That is the whole comparison.

On most platforms the free plan does not include a BAA, so patient knowledge is not allowed on that tier. A HIPAA BAA is included on Rivvi's free organization plan, which is what makes a free healthcare AI tier usable on a real organization.

The short answer

Free is only useful if PHI is allowed

01

Most vendors use a free tier to let you click around a product that is not allowed to see a patient. The BAA arrives when you pay, or after a sales cycle.

02

Rivvi's free organization plan (you and two colleagues) includes a HIPAA BAA. It is the same workspace you will use later: ask, upload, keep the team in it, and add calling when you move to Team. The free personal plan is public information only, with no BAA.

03

Paid plans add seats, conversation credits, calls, texts, the website widget, and a phone number. They do not unlock the right to hold PHI. That right is on the free organization plan.

Questions

Free vs paid HIPAA AI, answered

Yes. Rivvi's free organization plan (you and two colleagues) includes a HIPAA BAA. The free personal plan is public information only. Calling, texting, and the widget are on Team. Most free tools gate HIPAA coverage behind a paid or enterprise plan.

Usually no. A Business Associate Agreement is the legal prerequisite for any tool that handles PHI. Most vendors gate it to paid or enterprise plans, or offer no self-serve signup at all. Rivvi includes a HIPAA BAA on the free organization plan.

Yes. Rivvi is SOC 2 Type II and runs on HIPAA-eligible infrastructure. A HIPAA BAA is included. Patient information is never used to train third-party models. TCPA windows and opt-out are enforced on outreach paths.

A conversation credit is the unit for calls, texts, and website chat. A minute of a call is 40 credits, a text is 4, and a website chat is 10. You buy them in blocks from $100 for 10,000. They reload when the balance runs low. Free has no included credits; the sample call is how you hear it first.

No. Voice is one way action lands. Rivvi builds knowledge of the organization, answers in the workspace or in Teams, runs voice and text campaigns, hosts a website widget, connects the stack you already use, and keeps each team in the loop in those systems.
