Knowtex vs LucasAI
Knowtex reports 70,000-plus clinicians across 200-plus specialties, a vendor figure, and covers ambient documentation, coding and billing, and order entry. It sells through a demo request. LucasAI posts its prices. Pro is $299 a month (another render of the page shows $299.99), and Ultimate is $499 labeled Custom with a Talk to Sales button. The page names no currency. Ultimate adds voice agents, front desk, scheduling and nursing tools.
LucasAI's claims of a 25% average revenue increase per provider and 90% fewer coding queries come from internal data on 1,200 providers, with no method given.
A multi-specialty group that wants a fixed monthly figure before any sales call can get one from LucasAI. A group that wants a reference at federal scale looks at Knowtex, whose VA ambient scribe award the vendor announced in a September 2026 press release.
