ModMed vs Sunoh.ai (2026)
Two record system native scribes competing for the specialty ambulatory practice, and the comparison is mostly a proxy for the platform underneath. ModMed sells eleven specialty specific record systems with protocol libraries, and its scribe inherits that depth along with an externally audited credential: the record system is certified to the decision support intervention criterion, with the scribe named as the technology central to it. Sunoh sits inside one of the largest ambulatory footprints in the country, publishes 149 dollars per provider per month with a free trial, and pre fills orders rather than suggesting them. Sunoh is more open commercially and reaches further into the order. ModMed has the better specialty fit and the better credential. Both are sold as the documentation option inside their own record system, and neither publishes whether it can be bought by a practice running anything else.
- Specialty depth is the platform's central differentiator and it is substantiated, with software for eleven medical specialties and named protocol libraries behind them.
- A checkable training provenance claim, that the scribe was trained on de identified clinical data sampled from a very large encounter base and developed with on staff specialty physicians.
- An externally audited AI credential rather than a self published one, with the record system certified to the decision support criterion and the scribe named as central to it.
- It publishes a price and lets you try it, at 149 dollars per provider per month with a free trial requiring no contract, which almost no record system vendor does.
- Order pre fill covers labs, imaging, medications, referrals and follow up appointments, including on mobile, which removes data entry rather than prompting for it.
- The enumerated specialty reach extends into dental periodontal charting and vision, which the alternative does not claim.

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 ModMed its top capability grade on EHR and Interoperability Depth and Setting and Specialty Coverage. Set against Sunoh.ai, ModMed grades higher on several axes, including Autonomy and Oversight Model, FDA and Regulatory Status and AI Governance and Bias Disclosure. 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 ModMed or Sunoh.ai?
On the axes where the AI Health Index separates them, ModMed grades higher on several axes, including Autonomy and Oversight Model, FDA and Regulatory Status and AI Governance and Bias Disclosure, and Sunoh.ai grades higher on several axes, including AI Centrality, AI Safety and PHI Stewardship and HIPAA and BAA Posture. Sunoh.ai 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 ModMed and Sunoh.ai differ most?
The widest separation the AI Health Index records between ModMed and Sunoh.ai is on AI Centrality, where ModMed grades C and Sunoh.ai grades A. 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 ModMed and Sunoh.ai grade the same?
The AI Health Index grades ModMed and Sunoh.ai the same on several axes, including Model and Technology Transparency, Model Supply Chain Disclosure and Clinical and Operational Evidence. Neither holds an advantage the index can evidence on those axes, so they should not carry weight in a selection between these two.

Both scribes are sold as the documentation option inside their own record systems, so for nearly every practice this comparison is settled by a platform decision made years earlier. Neither vendor publishes whether its scribe is available to a practice running a different platform, and this index has not established it either way, so confirm it directly if you are not already on one of these systems.
Sunoh's security attestation is asserted only on third party comparison pages, several of them published by competitors, and was not reachable in the vendor's own materials across two passes, so treat it as unverified. ModMed publishes no attestation of its own, no health privacy statement and no business associate terms. Neither publishes an accuracy figure or a bias and accent performance analysis.
