Availability & Pricing
Ultrasound’s medical impact and global accessibility has been historically limited by the steep cost of traditional systems. Butterfly’s continued mission is to lower this barrier to entry. Through Affirm’s financial technology, which provides customers with a transparent payment alternative to cash and traditional credit, Butterfly Network is now offering ultrasound at a lower price than ever before, starting at $58/month.
Financing is available on 12-, 24- and 36-month terms with 0% APR for qualified practitioners and will only be applicable for initial purchase including a Butterfly iQ probe, with renewal fees charged at the end of the first year if there is no subscription pre-payment.
