Abridge vs Sunoh.ai
Sunoh prints $149 per user per month on its pricing page, "for a limited time," beside a crossed-out $199, and that price covers implementation, voice recognition and a BAA. Abridge publishes no price. Third-party figures for it run $208 to $600 per clinician per month before implementation. A three-provider practice on Tebra, ModMed or eClinicalWorks should buy Sunoh, and price and access both favor it over Abridge. Sunoh is sold by healow, the eClinicalWorks brand, and connects to athenahealth, Cerner, eClinicalWorks, Epic, ModMed, Practice Fusion and Tebra. An EHR Sync extension for browser-based EHRs comes with a subscription. The proof is thin. Sunoh's vendor page states no SOC 2 or HITRUST, the price after the promotion is not given, and its pulmonary clinic case study is vendor-published. A 600-bed Epic hospital that needs a security review buys Abridge, which lists SOC 2 Type 1 and Type 2 and claims Best in KLAS for 2025 and 2026.
