Aura AI Scribe vs MEDILIT (2026)
Aura AI Scribe is the ambient scribe from Insight Health AI in Austin. It writes the visit note, suggests ICD-10 and CPT codes on paid plans and runs inside Epic and athenaOne, where both record vendors list it. Its business associate agreement is published in full and covers every plan, including the free one. Prices run from $0 to $79.99 per clinician a month. MEDILIT is a Sydney scribe built for Australian and New Zealand general practice. It strips names, dates of birth and numbers on the clinician's device before anything is sent, never stores audio and keeps data on Australian servers. Beyond the note, it writes letters, referrals, care plans and Medicare forms. Premium costs A$125 a month before GST. Each is built around one country's practices. Aura is set up for US practices, with US privacy terms readable before signup and listings with two large US record vendors. MEDILIT is set up for Australia, with local data residency, a stated exemption from Therapeutic Goods Administration registration and paperwork for Medicare and Veterans' Affairs. US practices on Epic or athenaOne pick Aura. Australian and New Zealand GPs who want documents beyond the note pick MEDILIT.

Aura AI Scribe is the ambient scribe from Insight Health AI, an Austin company, sold to US clinicians in independent practices and medical groups. It writes the visit note, suggests ICD-10 and CPT codes on paid plans, and runs as an iOS app, a Chrome extension or inside Epic and athenaOne. A second model, SAFEai, checks each draft against the audio for wrong terms and hallucinations before the clinician reviews it. Prices run from a free plan to $79.99 per clinician a month, and the business associate agreement covers every plan. Insight Health says it holds SOC 2 Type II, but the report is not on its open pages, and it names no hosting provider or data region.

MEDILIT is a Sydney scribe for Australian and New Zealand general practice that writes notes, letters, referrals, care plans and Medicare forms during the consult, in the browser beside the practice's own software. It redacts identifiers on the clinician's device before anything is sent, never stores audio and keeps data on Australian servers. It says it runs its own models with a layer that audits each draft, and AMD's case study puts the model at 15 billion parameters; its named subprocessors include Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud and AWS. The doctor approves every draft, and Premium costs A$125 a month before GST. Its accuracy figures carry no method, and its site describes ISO 27001 and SOC 2 as both certified and compliant.

Neither vendor publishes an accuracy study, results by accent or dialect, or a catch rate for its self checking layer. Aura AI Scribe does not name its model, hosting provider or data region, and its SOC 2 report is not on its open pages. Its intake, phone triage and follow up agents speak with patients directly and have no published escalation path.
MEDILIT's 98 percent and 95 percent accuracy figures carry no method, its site calls ISO 27001 and SOC 2 both certified and compliant, and its business associate agreement is not published. Its terms let it keep data derived from patient records, stripped of identifiers, with no time limit.
An earlier version of this comparison said MEDILIT states no human review gate and publishes no named certification; MEDILIT's own material contradicts both, and those statements were corrected on 15 September 2026. The same version said neither vendor publishes an accuracy figure, which MEDILIT does, and that was corrected on 10 October 2026.
