Pricing
PaidUpToDate individual subscriptions start from $579/year for the core plan covering all clinical topics, drug information, CME/CE credits, and mobile access. UpToDate Pro Plus, which adds Expert AI and advanced medication decision support, is priced higher — exact pricing is displayed in the Wolters Kluwer online store at checkout after selecting country and profession.
Group plans for 2-19 clinicians offer discounted per-user rates available through the online store. Institutional licensing for hospitals and health systems is priced on request with dedicated implementation support, EHR integration, usage analytics, and enterprise management features.
Contact Wolters Kluwer through wolterskluwer.com/uptodate for institutional, group, and enterprise pricing.
CustomSuki does not publish pricing on its official website; every path (Suki for Clinicians and Suki for Partners) leads to a "Contact Us" sales conversation rather than a self-serve checkout. Third-party trade coverage and reseller listings throughout 2025-2026 consistently report two tiers: Suki Compose (documentation-only, works with any EHR) at roughly $299 per provider per month, and the full Suki Assistant (deep EHR integration, voice commands, coding, and clinical Q&A) at roughly $399 per provider per month. Enterprise health-system contracts are negotiated separately with volume and specialty-based discounts, and some independent reviews report additional setup fees in the $500-$2,000 range plus annual contract commitments. Exact pricing requires a conversation with Suki's sales team.

Summary
Gold-standard clinical decision support for 2M+ clinicians — 13,000+ expert topics, Expert AI, and Best in KLAS
Ambient clinical AI that turns patient visits into notes, coding, and voice-driven workflows
UpToDate Pros & Cons
Pros
- Gold standard for 30+ years — most trusted clinical decision support resource used at 10,000+ hospitals globally
- Best in KLAS for Clinical Decision Support 4x (2021-2025) — highest independent healthcare technology rating
- Expert-authored and continuously updated — rigorously vetted by physician specialists, not AI-generated content
- UpToDate Expert AI (2026) — GenAI conversational layer grounded in expert clinical content, not general internet
- 10,000+ graded recommendations with transparent evidence levels — supports evidence-based clinical practice
- EHR integration with Epic and Cerner — clinical guidance accessible without leaving the patient record
- CME/CE/CPD credits earned while researching — turns clinical reference use into continuing education
Cons
- Expensive for individual subscribers — from $579/year before Expert AI features
- Expert AI (UpToDate Expert AI) only available on Pro Plus and trainee plans
- No real-time web search — content is updated editorially, not instantly from breaking research
- Institutional pricing requires direct negotiation — no self-serve enterprise option
- Interface feels traditional compared to newer AI-native tools like OpenEvidence
- Content is US-centric in focus despite global availability
Suki AI Pros & Cons
Pros
- Genuine voice-command interface goes beyond passive transcription, letting clinicians drive the EHR by voice
- Combines documentation, coding, and clinical Q&A in one platform instead of separate point tools
- Deep, bi-directional integration with the four leading EHRs: Epic, Oracle Health, athenahealth, and MEDITECH
- Backed by independent KLAS validation of clinical and financial ROI
- Broad specialty and care-setting coverage, from ambulatory and inpatient to telehealth and home health
- Suki for Partners lets healthtech companies embed the same ambient AI via APIs and SDKs
Cons
- No public pricing or free tier; every path on the website leads to a sales demo and a typically annual enterprise contract
- Reported per-provider pricing (roughly $299-$399/month) runs meaningfully higher than several budget-focused competitors
- Enterprise-style deployment and contracting can be heavier than solo clinicians or small practices need
- Learning the voice-command workflow adds a slight learning curve compared with purely passive ambient scribes
- Doesn't cover adjacent front-office tasks like patient call answering, fax management, or payment collection
