DeepScribe vs Sunoh.ai (2026)
An eClinicalWorks practice can run either of these, since DeepScribe names eClinicalWorks among its integrations, so this is the specialist against the bundled option inside the same record system. DeepScribe is the deeper product for complex medicine, with oncology as its centre of gravity and tuned models across six further specialties, genuinely bidirectional integration that reads the chart before the visit and writes structured data back after, and the strongest independent buyer rating in the category at 98.8 in the KLAS Emerging Company Spotlight. Sunoh is the cheaper and more open one at 149 dollars per provider per month with a free trial, and it pre fills orders inside the Progress Note, which DeepScribe does not. The commercial gap is wide: third party estimates put DeepScribe between 350 and 500 dollars per provider per month, and the vendor publishes nothing to settle it.
- Specialty tuning that is stated as a deliberate focus rather than as breadth, with roughly 5 million oncology visits a year, about 40 percent of United States cancer care visits, and tuned models across cardiology, urology, gastroenterology, orthopaedics, neurology and nephrology.
- Genuinely bidirectional integration, reading problems, medications, labs and prior notes before the encounter and writing structured data back into discrete fields after, across Epic, athenahealth, NextGen and eClinicalWorks.
- The strongest independent buyer rating in the category, a 98.8 KLAS Emerging Company Spotlight score with A plus across all six measured categories.
- You can price it and trial it: 149 US dollars per provider per month, roughly 1.25 dollars per visit, with a free trial and no contract, against a vendor whose third party price estimates range from 350 to 500 dollars and disagree widely.
- Order pre fill inside the record covering labs, imaging, medications, referrals and follow up appointments, including on mobile, which is work removed rather than data written back after the fact.
- The widest enumerated specialty range of any embedded scribe here, extending past medicine into dental periodontal charting, dental treatment plans and vision.

Side by Side
Each record in one paragraph
Written to be quoted whole. Each paragraph states what the AI Health Index verified about the vendor, with the caveats attached. Generated from this pair’s live capability grades, so it moves when a grade moves.
The AI Health Index awards DeepScribe its top capability grade on several axes, including AI Centrality, Clinical and Operational Evidence and HIPAA and BAA Posture. Set against Sunoh.ai, DeepScribe grades higher on several axes, including Autonomy and Oversight Model, Clinical and Operational Evidence and HIPAA and BAA Posture. Grades reflect evidence the AI Health Index could verify at the last review, so a low grade records disclosure the vendor has not published rather than a capability it has been shown to lack.

Questions buyers ask
Should we choose DeepScribe or Sunoh.ai?
On the axes where the AI Health Index separates them, DeepScribe grades higher on several axes, including Autonomy and Oversight Model, Clinical and Operational Evidence and HIPAA and BAA Posture, and Sunoh.ai grades higher on AI Safety and PHI Stewardship, Security Certifications and Trust Center and Commercial Transparency. DeepScribe leads on the greater share of scored axes, but the split means the decision turns on which constraint is binding rather than on an overall winner.
Where do DeepScribe and Sunoh.ai differ most?
The widest separation the AI Health Index records between DeepScribe and Sunoh.ai is on Clinical and Operational Evidence, where DeepScribe grades A and Sunoh.ai grades C. That axis sits in the AI Capability group, so it should carry the most weight for a buyer whose binding constraint is how much of the work the model itself is trusted to do.
Where do DeepScribe and Sunoh.ai grade the same?
The AI Health Index grades DeepScribe and Sunoh.ai the same on several axes, including AI Centrality, Model and Technology Transparency and Model Supply Chain Disclosure. Neither holds an advantage the index can evidence on those axes, so they should not carry weight in a selection between these two.

Both records carry a documentation gap that matters more than their feature difference. DeepScribe's published privacy policy permits retaining personal data as long as it remains necessary, potentially beyond the term of the relationship, which is the weakest retention position recorded in this index for a product that records encounters, and its security page claims relevant certifications without naming one.
Sunoh's SOC 2 attestation appears only on third party comparison pages, several published by competitors, and its audio retention window of roughly seven days is third party reported. Neither publishes an accuracy figure or a bias and accent performance statement.
