Summary
Suki is a voice assistant as much as an ambient scribe. If you want to dictate and command rather than have something listen quietly, it is built for that and most of this category is not.
It is reported at $299 to $399 a month plus $500 to $2,000 of setup and a year up front, none of it published.1 You commit before you find out.
Stop dictating to the computer. The note, the letters and the codes are done when you stand up. Fourteen days free, then one published price.

What Suki is good at
Voice. Suki is genuinely strong if you want to talk to your record rather than be overheard by it, and the integration list is real across Epic, Oracle Health, athenahealth, MEDITECH and Elation.
That design preference is worth settling before anything else. A clinician who wants to dictate and a clinician who wants to forget the software is in the room want different products, and neither is wrong.
The commitment
A setup fee of $500 to $2,000 and a one-year minimum means the trial decision and the annual decision arrive together, before you have run it on a real list. Products that publish a price and offer a short trial let you find out first. That is a difference in how the purchase works rather than a claim about note quality.
What the evidence says
Suki has no randomised trial. Neither do we. Nabla does, cutting note-writing time 9.5 percent across roughly 72,000 encounters, and neither arm in that trial reduced after-hours record time.22Lukac PJ, Turner W, Vangala S, et al. Ambient AI Scribes in Clinical Practice, A Randomized Trial. NEJM AI 2025;2(12). 238 physicians, 14 specialties, approximately 72,000 encounters.
The half nobody compares
Suki covers the consultation. The phone, the booking, the deposit and the cancelled slot are somebody else's problem, and in a practice paying $500 to $2,000 to get started they are the same person's problem.
The number this comparison misses
A setup fee and a year up front buys a voice assistant that reaches the note. From 2026 your E/M level turns on Medical Decision Making, so the note is the evidence for the code and the code is the money.55From 2026, Medical Decision Making is the primary basis for E/M level selection. AAPC reports up to 19 percent of E/M visits undercoded at roughly $37 each. Reported Medicare Advantage downcoding runs $42 to $74 per visit and $28,000 to $74,000 per family physician per year. Up to 19 percent of E/M visits are undercoded at roughly $37 each, and Medicare Advantage downcoding takes $42 to $74 off a visit without ever appearing as a denial.
Suki asks for the annual commitment before you have seen a single note on your own list. The variance report that would tell you whether any of this worked is not something they publish, and neither do we.

Which one
Choose Suki if
- You want to dictate and issue voice commands rather than be listened to.
- You are on MEDITECH or Elation and want a named integration today.
- A setup fee and an annual term are normal for how you buy software.
Choose WA\ if
- You want to find out whether it works before committing to a year.
- Your evening is letters, codes and callbacks rather than notes.
- You want the front desk and the consultation on one record.
What we are not claiming
Suki is the better product if you want a dictation-first assistant. We are not that and are not trying to be. Suki pricing here is estimated because they do not publish, and we may have it wrong.
Frequently asked questions
How much does Suki cost?
Suki does not publish pricing and buying requires a demo and an enterprise contract. Independent reporting through 2025 and 2026 places Suki Compose near 299 dollars per user per month and Suki Assistant near 399 dollars, with enterprise agreements reported between 350 and 500 dollars depending on integration depth, setup fees of 500 to 2,000 dollars per practice, and one year minimum commitments. Treat all of those as estimates and confirm them with Suki. WA\ publishes its price on its pricing page, with no setup fee and no minimum term.
What does Suki do that WA\ does not?
Voice commands. Suki is a two-way assistant, so you speak to it during the encounter to chart, stage orders and query the record, and nothing else in the category does this as well. It also has the broadest EHR coverage outside Epic, spanning Oracle Health, athenahealth, MEDITECH and Elation, which matters if you are poorly served by Epic-first products. WA\ does not offer voice commands. The design assumes the clinician should not have to operate the software during the consultation at all.
What does WA\ do that Suki does not?
Referral and clinic letters drafted from the consult, a pre-consult briefing prepared from the record before the patient sits down, cited answers grounded in current guidance and primary research inside the consult, a front desk that answers phone, email and WhatsApp around the clock at a published price, and a patient-held record. Suki does not publish letter generation as a feature. For most specialists and for general practice, letters account for more of the evening than notes do.

About this article. Written and published by WA\, a competitor of Suki, and we have said where Suki is the better purchase. Suki does not publish per-clinician pricing, so setup fees, monthly rates and minimum terms quoted here are third-party estimates and must be confirmed directly. The randomised trial cited is independent of us, and Nabla, not WA\, holds the only randomised win in this category. Undercoding and downcoding figures are third-party RCM analysis, not our data. WA\ has no peer-reviewed clinical trials published to date and does not claim any. All names are marks belonging to their owners.
