Pricing
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.
PaidMedical Scribe uses a per-clinician subscription model with two billing periods.
Individual plan: $49.99/month per clinician or $499.99/year per clinician (equivalent to ~$41.67/month annual). A free trial is available with full feature access before committing. Promotional discounts are available for new clinicians (e.g., 30% off with code FRIENDS30).
Medical Scribe for Clinics (multi-provider): Same per-clinician pricing at $49.99/month or $499.99/year per provider, but adds centralized clinic administration features \u2014 team dashboard, admin provisioning, shared patient records, specialty templates, and audit trails. Organizations sign up directly at medicalscribe.app; no minimum team size is published. A free trial is available for clinic teams before committing. No published enterprise contract or custom pricing tier \u2014 all plans are self-serve.

Summary
Ambient AI that turns patient visits into clinical notes, dictation, and coding — right inside the EHR
AI medical scribe for clinicians — ambient SOAP notes in 57 languages across 280+ specialties
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
Medical Scribe Pros & Cons
Pros
- Genuinely affordable at $49.99/month — far below enterprise tools like Nuance DAX ($200-800+/month) or Abridge ($400-600/month) with comparable ambient documentation quality
- Apple Watch recording is unique — start ambient recording from the wrist without touching a device during patient interactions
- 280+ specialties with specialty-specific terminology and templates — one of the broadest specialty coverage sets in the category
- 57 language support enables global and multilingual practice documentation without additional tools
- Medical Scribe for Clinics (May 2026) enables small practices to deploy enterprise-grade multi-clinician administration at solo-practitioner pricing
- HIPAA and PIPEDA compliant with BAA, end-to-end encryption, and audit trails — enterprise-grade security at a budget price
Cons
- No direct EHR push — clinicians copy and paste notes into their EHR rather than syncing natively
- Smaller and less established brand than enterprise alternatives like Nuance DAX or Abridge at the health-system level
- Clinic plan launched May 2026 — multi-clinician features are newer and less battle-tested than solo clinician workflow
- No desktop/Windows app — web, iOS, Apple Watch, and Android only
- No integration with major EHR platforms (Epic, Cerner, Athena) as a native connector — relies on copy-to-clipboard workflow
- Limited public customer reviews and case studies compared to more established tools like Freed AI or Suki AI
