Patient Square is an AI clinical platform. Practice Copilot brings the whole practice under one AI copilot — an ambient AI Medical Scribe that hands back a structured SOAP note, ICD-10 suggestions, and a prescription draft minutes after the visit, plus a bundled AI EHR, scheduling, and messaging as you move up the plan. Hospitals get Hospital Copilot. Assist is ₹1,599 per clinician monthly-equivalent on annual billing and includes Scheduling. Copilot adds WhatsApp messaging and AI Copilot EHR. Autopilot adds the named AI Receptionist and AI Follow-ups modules, priority support, and adoption and ROI analytics. No plan has per-note metering.
The India pricing page shows the whole ladder with the + 18% GST note beside every number, and every plan starts with a 7-day free trial. Run it against a real clinic week, not a demo script.
What does 18% GST mean when a clinic buys software?
Patient Square’s India prices are ex-GST, so the number on the pricing page is not the number on the invoice. Here is an invoice arithmetic example, not tax advice: Assist at ₹1,599 per clinician monthly-equivalent on annual billing + 18% = ₹1,887; Copilot at ₹2,399 per clinician monthly-equivalent on annual billing + 18% = ₹2,831. Same product family, GST on top, no per-note meter underneath.
Tax recoverability depends on the clinic’s supplies, registration, and current law. Treat the displayed calculation as an invoice example and ask an appropriate tax adviser how it applies to your clinic.
For Patient Square, check the published rate card and invoice. For another vendor, ask whether its quote is ex- or inclusive of tax, then have your adviser assess the treatment.
On a 30-day basis, the Assist monthly-equivalent on annual billing lands at about ₹53 a day ex-GST, or ₹63 a day with GST counted (₹1,887 ÷ 30).

What will you pay in year two?
Every intro price implies a regular price somewhere; the year-two question is whether you can read it. Patient Square prints its ladder per clinician: Assist ₹1,999 month-to-month or ₹1,599 monthly-equivalent on annual billing; Copilot ₹2,999 month-to-month or ₹2,399 monthly-equivalent on annual billing; Autopilot ₹4,999 month-to-month or ₹3,999 monthly-equivalent on annual billing. All are ex-GST, with 18% GST added. Budget against the published number and treat any promotion as the bonus, not the baseline.
Three questions worth putting to any scribe vendor in writing, before the first invoice:
- “What is the renewal price after the intro period?” If the regular ladder isn’t published, this answer IS the price.
- “Is the discount conditional on an annual lock-in?” Month-to-month exists on our ladder (₹1,999 Assist, ₹2,999 Copilot). Paying a bit more to stay free to leave is a legitimate choice, and a vendor with no monthly option is telling you something about renewals.
- “What happens to my notes if I stop paying?” Ours belong to the practice. Export or delete any visit, any time, and we never sell or share clinical data. That’s the real lock-in answer. Everything else is contract language.
How should you compare another scribe quote?
Ask for the exact product, per-user unit, billing cadence, trial limit, tax treatment, language support, data terms, and record-system path in writing. If you need a bundled record system, compare that path directly with Copilot, not with Assist. For Patient Square, the scribe accepts English, Hindi, and 20+ Indian languages, code-mixing included, returns a clean clinical-English note, and provides a prescription draft for clinician review. Visit audio is processed in memory and discarded once the note drafts; the full posture is on the security page.
The rate card above is the decision aid. Whatever you shortlist, get the GST treatment in writing, then run a real clinic day through it and read every draft before signing. Start your 7-day free trial.
