Augmedix vs Knowtex

Knowtex's strongest fact is federal. In September 2026 it announced itself as a prime awardee on a VA ambient scribe contract with a shared ceiling of $775.72M, and the company reports a $15M VA contract from October 2025 and use at 79 VA medical centers. The ceiling is the contract's total, not Knowtex's revenue. Outside the VA the record is thin. The Rochester orthopedics pilot was published by Knowtex, and no independent evaluation is on record. Augmedix is the commercial option. It belongs to Commure, which bought it for about $139M in October 2024, sells automated, specialist-assisted and fully human service levels, has a Vizient contract effective January 2025, and lists Epic, Oracle Cerner and MEDITECH among its EHRs. Neither publishes a price. Third parties estimate Augmedix at $300 to $700 or more per clinician per month, and Knowtex has no estimate at all. A federal buyer has a clear reason to look at Knowtex. A private community hospital's emergency department should not pick Knowtex over Augmedix, since the only deployment with figures on record is the VA, and the Rochester pilot evidence is vendor-published.
