Pricing
FreemiumThe Gemini API uses a three-tier structure. Free is for developers and small projects, offering limited access to select models with free input and output tokens, Google AI Studio access, and no billing account required, though content is used to improve Google's products. Paid unlocks higher rate limits for production, context caching, the Batch API (roughly 50% cost reduction), access to Google's most advanced models, and a guarantee that content is not used to improve Google's products. Pricing is billed per million tokens and varies by model: for example, Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview costs $2.00 input and $12.00 output per million tokens for prompts under 200K tokens, while cost-efficient options like Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite start as low as $0.30 input and $2.50 output per million tokens, with additional Flex and Priority billing modes available for different latency and cost tradeoffs. Enterprise is for large-scale deployments through the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform, adding dedicated support channels, advanced security and compliance certifications (HIPAA, SOC 2, FedRAMP), provisioned throughput, volume-based discounts, and MLOps tooling, available by contacting Google's sales team.
FreemiumNabla does not publish exact pricing on its official website; the primary calls-to-action are a free trial (via app.nabla.com) and "Talk to our team" for enterprise sales. Third-party sources consistently report a free tier with usage limits, with paid individual/clinician plans starting around $119/month per provider and higher tiers reported near $239/month per provider. Larger health-system deployments — Nabla's core market, spanning 130+ organizations — are sold via custom enterprise contracts with volume-based pricing, with independent estimates placing typical enterprise rates in the $150-$400/month per provider range depending on scale, EHR integration depth, and features. Exact costs require a sales conversation with Nabla.

Summary
Build with Google's multimodal Gemini models via API and AI Studio
Ambient AI that turns patient visits into clinical notes, dictation, and coding — right inside the EHR
Google Gemini API

Google Gemini API Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Genuinely native multimodal models covering text, image, video, and audio in one API
  • Google AI Studio offers a real, usable free prototyping environment with no billing account required
  • Google Search and Google Maps grounding help reduce hallucinations with live information
  • Batch API and Flex pricing modes offer substantial cost savings for non-latency-sensitive workloads
  • Clear upgrade path from free prototyping to enterprise-grade deployment via the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform

Cons

  • Pricing structure is complex, with per-model, per-mode (Standard/Batch/Flex/Priority) rates that require careful reading to estimate real costs
  • Free tier usage is used to improve Google's products, so privacy-sensitive projects need to upgrade to the Paid tier for that guarantee to apply
  • Frequent model churn (previews, deprecations, shutdown dates) means integrations need occasional migration work to stay current
  • Full enterprise-grade features like fine-tuning, VPC Service Controls, and CMEK live on the separate Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform, not the Developer API itself
  • Advanced capabilities like Computer Use and some agent tooling remain in preview with more restrictive rate limits
Nabla

Nabla Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Fast note generation, roughly five seconds, that closely mirrors real clinical documentation in independent tests
  • Deep native integration with Epic and other major EHRs rather than copy-paste workflows
  • Broad specialty and language coverage suited to large, diverse health systems
  • Strong compliance posture (HIPAA, SOC 2 Type 2, ISO 27001, GDPR) with configurable data retention
  • Backed by peer-reviewed evidence, including a NEJM AI randomized trial showing documentation-time reductions
  • Combines documentation, dictation, and coding in one platform instead of separate point tools

Cons

  • Pricing isn't published; individuals and smaller practices must go through a sales conversation or rely on third-party estimates to budget
  • Primarily built for hospitals and health systems, so solo clinicians and small practices may find it less tailored than SMB-focused scribes
  • Relies on ambient recording, so encounters where a patient or clinician can't or won't be recorded aren't well supported
  • Some independent reviews note limited customization and quality drop-off on complex, multi-problem visits
  • Mobile app store ratings are mixed and based on a relatively small number of reviews compared to the platform's overall clinician base
