MedScrub vs Nabla
Nabla raised a $70M Series C in June 2025, bringing funding to $120M, and a randomized trial in NEJM AI split 238 outpatient physicians at a California academic health system among Nabla, DAX Copilot and usual care. Nabla users cut time in note by 9.5% against control, and the tool was used in about 29.5% of visits. Nabla sells to health systems: ambient documentation, coding suggestions for E/M and ICD-10, and dictation the vendor says is built into Epic. The company states SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001. Its terms set a monthly fee per user in euros excluding VAT, and a third-party estimate of $119 to $239 per clinician per month is likely stale.
A health system choosing an ambient scribe is not a MedScrub buyer, since the MedScrub pages describe chart summaries and pre-visit prep on a chart that is already synced. Its buyer is a practice that wants charts summarized and open plans flagged, with a choice of Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini or a local Ollama model, and a local proxy the vendor says removes identifiers before any model sees the data.
