Ambient IQ vs Scribble
A practice already on the RXNT EHR pays nothing for Ambient IQ, and Scribble has no public price, so Scribble is the wrong tool there. Everyone else gets a 90-day trial with 30 free notes and then $75 a month, though the FAQ describes the trial as three months and 30 sessions. Ambient IQ's page tells the provider to copy and paste the note into the EHR, and recordings are deleted after two weeks. IKS Health sells Scribble in four tiers. Now is fully automated and returns notes in minutes. Swift adds a human scribe for about an hour. Pro adds a clinician scribe who, per the vendor, reviews the note and posts it to the EHR in about four hours. Select lets the clinician choose a tier per encounter. The vendor says Scribble is available within Epic Connection Hub and states SOC 2 Type 2. Scribble Pro covers the clinician review a multi-specialty Epic group may require before a note reaches the chart, while Ambient IQ hands the provider a note to paste.

Pricing
Ambient IQ
| Tier | Monthly | Annual | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ambient IQ | $75 | n/a | 90-day free trial with 30 free notes, then $75 per month. The FAQ describes a 3-month trial with a maximum of 30 sessions, so the trial terms do not reconcile. Existing RXNT EHR and Full Suite customers get it at no cost. The RXNT pricing page does not list Ambient IQ. |
Scribble
| Tier | Monthly | Annual | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Enterprise | n/a | n/a | No public price. Four tiers are named (Scribble Now, Swift, Pro and Select) and differ in human review. |
