Abridge vs Tali AI
Tali's integration list is mostly Canadian: Accuro, CHR, Healthquest, Med Access, Medesync, Profile and PS Suite, with Net Health, Practice Fusion and Veradigm on the US side. Epic is not on it. One layout of Tali's pricing page lists a free plan with 5 AI scribes and 60 minutes of dictation per month, while a second layout shows Pro at CA $68 instead of CA $150 per month, so the paid price is unsettled. Its SOC 2 Type II is vendor-stated with no report linked, and its 2023 round was undisclosed, listed by ZoomInfo at under $5M. Abridge has raised between $758M and $830M depending on the source and publishes a SOC 2 report on request. Its price is quote-only, with third-party estimates of $208 to $600 per clinician per month excluding implementation. A US Epic hospital goes to Abridge, the first Epic Pal partner. A Canadian family practice on PS Suite goes to Tali, because no Canadian EMR is listed for Abridge.
