DAX Copilot vs Suki
Microsoft documents nursing flowsheet capture and radiology report drafting under Dragon Copilot, and Suki's product list names neither, so Suki loses any hospital that wants nurses and radiologists on one scribe. DAX is the hospital choice. The UCLA randomized trial that included DAX found 1.7% less time in the note, not significant, with DAX used in 33.5% of encounters, a number a hospital pilot would want before setting adoption targets.
A multi-site group on athenahealth, MEDITECH or Oracle Health fits Suki, whose homepage names all three plus Epic. Third-party estimates run $299 to $399 per user per month, and Suki has no public pricing page. A $90M Series E was announced in October 2026. The 41% note-time reduction is the vendor's figure, and the KLAS ROI study was commissioned by Suki. Microsoft posts no DAX price. Reseller Dictation Direct quotes $369 per user per month plus $700 one-time implementation on a 12-month commitment, and Epic must be on the May 2025 release or later.
