Medwriter vs Nabla
In NEJM AI (December 2025), 238 outpatient physicians at a California academic health system were randomized across Nabla, DAX Copilot and usual care. Nabla users cut time-in-note 9.5% against control, with the tool used in about 29.5% of visits. The home page also shows SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO 27001 badges, and the vendor says its dictation is built into Epic. MedWriter's Standard plan is $99 per user per month (currency not stated) with unlimited sessions, and it drafts prior authorization, referral and denial letters alongside notes. Nabla's pricing URL returns a 404 with a contact form, and the $119 to $239 per clinician monthly estimates are third-party and probably dated. Nabla's natural buyer is an academic health system that wants trial data behind its scribe. MedWriter's is a small outpatient clinic that wants the rate posted and the letters drafted in one tool. Nabla loses for an outpatient group that has to put a number in front of finance before it can talk to sales.
