Aura AI Scribe vs MEDILIT
Two small scribes that each do one thing unusually well for their size. Aura has the assurance and distribution position: a named and typed attestation, one of the strongest integration positions in this category verified by the platform vendors themselves, and a complete four tier price ladder well below the category norm including a free entry tier. MEDILIT has the privacy architecture, the strongest found in the long tail of this category, achieved by design rather than by policy, and it produces letters, referrals and clinical documents rather than only notes. The gap on MEDILIT is oversight: the only checking mechanism described is the system auditing itself, with no human review gate stated, which is a lot of unsupervised output for a product that writes referral letters.
- The security position is at the top rung of this axis, with the attestation named and typed, which only a handful of vendors at this size manage.
- The integration position is among the strongest in this category and it is verified by the platform vendors themselves rather than asserted by the scribe.
- A complete four tier ladder is published and priced well below the category norm, including a free entry tier.
- The privacy architecture is the strongest found in the long tail of this category, and it is a design decision rather than a policy statement.
- A published two tier ladder with the gating stated is better commercial disclosure than most of this segment offers.
- Output breadth covers letters, referrals and clinical documents rather than the progress note alone.

MEDILIT's only checking mechanism is the system auditing itself, with no human review gate, sign off step or confidence signal described, which is a notable gap for a product generating referral letters and clinical documents as well as notes. It publishes no named or dated certification, no audit report and no named integration mechanism, so establish how the output reaches your record system before buying. Aura publishes no fairness statement, subgroup analysis or accent and dialect performance disclosure. Neither publishes an accuracy figure or an evaluation methodology.
