Nabla vs Suki
Two different answers to the same enterprise question: what should the microphone do. Nabla says document everywhere: named integrations across Epic, athenahealth, Oracle Health, NextGen, and Greenway, roughly 31 languages, a base weighted toward hospital systems and emergency departments, and efficiency figures attributed to a published NEJM study. Suki says operate the chart: a voice first assistant whose commands order medications, navigate, query the patient record, and stage orders for review, across its own five deep integrations reaching MEDITECH and Elation, with Suki Platform letting other vendors embed the capability. Both hold A grades on EHR depth covering different estates, so map the five systems each names against yours before anything else. If your failure mode is multilingual documentation across a mixed estate, start with Nabla, and confirm its training default and BAA tier. If your failure mode is the clicks around the visit, start with Suki, and ask for its unpublished command interpretation accuracy. Neither currently publishes pricing.
- Language and setting breadth: roughly 31 languages and templates across more than 35 specialties, spanning in person and telehealth encounters, on a base of more than 85,000 clinicians weighted toward hospital systems and emergency departments.
- Peer reviewed attribution: roughly 55 percent of users saving at least an hour a day and a 27 percent reduction in burnout, figures attributed to a published NEJM study, where Suki's clinical evidence is unassessed on this index and rests on a reported 125,000 consults a week.
- The ambulatory long tail: named integrations include NextGen and Greenway alongside Epic, athenahealth, and Oracle Health, a different estate from the one Suki covers.
- You want to operate the EHR by voice, not just document: commands order medications, navigate charts, query the patient record against the specific chart, stage orders for review, and pull schedules, where Nabla is a passive scribe.
- A different five systems: deep bidirectional integrations with Epic, Oracle Health, athenahealth, MEDITECH, and Elation, plus a partnership program and Suki Platform letting other healthcare software vendors embed the capability.
- The graded stewardship split favors it, B against Nabla's C: Suki commits to a stated 30 day deletion window for audio and transcripts, while Nabla's session data trains its models by default, though Suki's own training posture is not addressed in retrieved materials.

Volume figures for both vendors are vendor published, including Suki's roughly 125,000 consults a week and Nabla's 85,000 plus clinicians. Both hold A grades on EHR depth across different named systems, so map each vendor's five against your estate before weighing anything else. Suki's oversight model stages orders for clinician review rather than submitting them, but no command interpretation accuracy is published and a misinterpreted medication order is a higher consequence failure than a flawed note; press on this in evaluation. The training question runs in opposite directions: Nabla discloses an unfavorable default, session data used for model training, while Suki does not address the question in retrieved materials; this index grades the practice on one side and the silence on the other. Nabla's free tier reportedly lacks a Business Associate Agreement, and its evidence grade is held at B because the cited NEJM study's design and cohort were not captured. Neither vendor currently publishes pricing; third party estimates place Suki near $299 to $399 per provider per month with setup fees, and Nabla's previously published tiers are withdrawn. All estimates are unconfirmed.
