Cerbo AI Scribe vs Meelio (2026)
Both are built for the functional, integrative and direct primary care practices that run on Cerbo, and they take opposite routes into the chart. Cerbo AI Scribe lives inside Cerbo: it drafts a structured note in the encounter, follows the clinician's Chart Part templates, reads the active medication list, and holds the draft until the provider signs, for $29 per provider per month up to 60 notes or $59 unlimited. Meelio connects from outside and covers more of the visit, preparing a pre visit summary, then drafting care plans, meal plans, lab action lists and handouts in the practice's own protocols and supplement brands, at $79 per seat a month. The difference is note versus plan. Cerbo's scribe handles documentation at the lowest price with nothing to connect. Meelio targets the after visit work that functional medicine generates, and its Skills Library publishes the procedures it follows for lab reviews such as GI-MAP and DUTCH. Meelio names Google Vertex AI and Deepgram as its model and speech providers; Cerbo's addendum refers to third party services without naming them.
