Apricot vs Ambient IQ
Ambient IQ costs $75 per month after a trial, and nothing for practices already on the RXNT EHR or Full Suite. The product page describes the trial as 90 days with 30 free notes, while the FAQ says three months capped at 30 sessions. The tool drafts SOAP notes, with psychiatry and therapy templates, from a session started in the mobile app. Outside RXNT's own EHR, the clinician copies the note into whichever EHR they use, and the vendor's FAQ says recordings are deleted after two weeks. A small psychiatry practice on RXNT is the buyer. Apricot's buyer is a home health agency, whose clinicians answer a guided post-visit interview and review the draft in the app before submitting. Apricot says it is matched to the agency's EMR configuration. A psychiatry practice has no OASIS visits to complete, so the two never share a buyer. For RXNT customers the scribe is free, which settles it for them.

Ambient IQ
| Tier | Monthly | Annual | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ambient IQ | $75 | n/a | 90-day free trial with 30 free notes, then $75 per month. The FAQ describes a 3-month trial with a maximum of 30 sessions, so the trial terms do not reconcile. Existing RXNT EHR and Full Suite customers get it at no cost. The RXNT pricing page does not list Ambient IQ. |
