  • Best in KLAS for Ambient AI two years running (2025, 2026)

Cons

  • Best value is realized inside Epic; less compelling for non-Epic shops
  • Implementation and change management require institutional resources
  • No free plan or public self-serve trial
  • Headline $0.05/min excludes provider costs, so real cost is much higher
  • Pricing is hard to predict and budget across multiple vendors
  • Steep learning curve for non-developers
  • No self-hosting option
  • Extra concurrency and compliance features add cost
