Chartnote vs Scribble
A multi-specialty group on Epic that wants a clinician to review and post every note is Scribble's buyer. IKS says Scribble Pro does that in about four hours, with E&M coding included, after Scribble Now (automated, notes in minutes) and Swift (a human scribe, about an hour). Select lets the clinician pick a tier per encounter. IKS also says Scribble opens inside Epic Connection Hub, states HIPAA and SOC 2 Type 2, and publishes a client story of 9.34% more RVUs, or $106,000 net per physician yearly. There is no public price.
A physician who needs the note before the next patient has Chartnote. By its vendor's description it generates a note from a recorded visit in seconds, adds billing suggestions, after-visit summaries and a Copilot chatbot, and posts three prices, from free to $99.99 per clinician per month. For that physician Scribble Pro's four-hour turnaround rules it out, and only Scribble Now competes, with no price to set beside Chartnote's.
