The best alternatives to Nabla
Nabla might not be the right fit: the price, a missing feature or a payment model you don't like. These are the closest alternatives in our catalog, ordered by rating, with the full review of each one.
Why look for a Nabla alternative
In the week of August 4-11 there were no new Nabla announcements: the latest press release is still the July 28 Mac dictation launch. The pricing page still returns a 404, so access still runs through a sales demo. The rest of the picture holds: deep integration with major EHRs and the independent UCLA Health randomized trial, published in NEJM AI, confirming a real but modest time saving.
What its own users repeat in the August 11, 2026 sweep:
- There is no public pricing page: the only route is a sales demo (strong theme)
- An independent randomized trial by UCLA Health, published in NEJM AI, confirms a real but modest time saving (41 fewer seconds per note, 9.5% more than the control group), far from the hours-saved figures that circulate in vendor marketing (present theme)
Best alternatives to Nabla
Ambient AI built for small clinics and independent doctors, not big hospitals.
AI medical scribe: the consultation documents itself and the clinician reviews and signs.
What the internet says about each alternative
Freed 3.8/5 · Free trial · from $39
Another week with nothing verifiably new: prices, plan caps and feature tiers match the previous sweep. Independent reviews repeat the same accuracy drop outside primary care (orthopedics, integrative medicine, chiropractic) and the same feature split by plan.
Where it wins: The company itself states it is built for the small practice, not large health systems, and that shows in an accessible entry price Where it slips: The $39 entry plan caps out at 40 notes a month, and the key features (EHR push, coding) require the Premier plan
Heidi Health 3/5 · Free + from $150
This sweep found no dated fact this week to justify moving the axes. Two independent readings of the official pricing page today confirm the clinician plan still costs $110 a month billed annually and 150 on its own, the same figure this site already published, so last week's correction stands. The themes the network keeps repeating haven't changed either: the free plan with unlimited transcription remains the standout against constant complaints of lost recordings, mistranscribed drug names and slow support.
Where it wins: Permanent free plan with unlimited transcription, unusual among clinical scribes Where it slips: Recordings lost or cut off mid-session without warning: the most repeated complaint, forcing the note to be rebuilt from memory
