DeepScribe vs Nabla
Only one of these two has randomized evidence. In a NEJM AI trial of 238 outpatient physicians in 14 specialties, published December 2025, Nabla users spent 9.5% less time in notes than controls (p=.02). Nabla was used in about 29.5% of visits, and roughly 15% of treatment physicians never used either tool in the trial. DeepScribe has no peer-reviewed study, only vendor testimonials and a displayed KLAS Spotlight score of 98.8.
A multi-specialty system on Epic belongs with Nabla, which joined Epic Toolbox for Ambient Voice in October 2025 per a third-party summary and sells an API for partners. Nabla publishes no price. Its terms of sale say a monthly fee per user in euros excluding VAT, and a 2025 estimate of $119 to $239 per clinician per month is probably stale. DeepScribe runs an estimated $350 to $500 per provider per month plus setup.
A community oncology group on OncoEMR or iKnowMed goes to DeepScribe. DeepScribe loses the multi-specialty Epic system, where Nabla holds the only trial data.
