Empathia AI vs Suki
Suki sells through its sales team. Third-party sites, one of them a rival vendor's blog, estimate $299 to $399 per user per month, currency not stated, and Suki itself publishes no price. Its homepage lists integrations with Epic, Oracle Health, athenahealth and MEDITECH, and a $90M Series E was announced in October 2026. Suki commissioned a February 2026 KLAS ROI validation across three health systems, so those results are the vendor's. MEDITECH and Oracle Health are on Suki's list and not named on Empathia's, which is where a health system on either would start.
Empathia AI sells a Premium plan to individual clinicians and Clinics and Teams tiers on custom pricing. Approved medical students and residents use it free, the trial needs no credit card, and athenahealth and Epic are among the EHRs it names.
A health system on MEDITECH or Oracle Health negotiating with a funded vendor buys Suki, and a clinician or clinic that wants a posted plan and a no-card trial buys Empathia.
