The verdict

Suki is the superior choice for practices and health systems that want a voice-driven ambient assistant embedded deep in a major EHR — Epic, Oracle Health, athenahealth, or MEDITECH — with voice-controlled charting, coding, and in-room transcription across 100+ specialties. Claire excels as an AI clinical partner that runs the whole visit — pre-visit patient intake, structured history-taking, and note drafting — best suited for physicians who want documentation handled end to end on any EMR, with self-serve setup and PHIPA and PIPEDA compliance for Canada.

  • Pre-visit patient interview — Claire gathers the history before the appointment, not just during it
  • Self-serve on any EMR — Claire runs in the browser, with no deep-EHR integration project to schedule
  • Built for Canada too — HIPAA, PHIPA, and PIPEDA compliant, with a signed BAA

Where each tool wins

Claire key strengths

  • Runs the patient interview before the visit, so the history is gathered without taking your time
  • Turns the intake into a structured, decision-ready clinical record, not just a transcript
  • Drafts the clinical note for review and signature, cutting after-hours charting
  • Flags red-flag patterns early so critical findings surface before you enter the room
  • HIPAA, PHIPA, and PIPEDA compliant, with a signed BAA and encryption in transit and at rest

When to choose Suki

Suki is the stronger choice for practices and health systems that want a voice-driven ambient assistant living inside a major EHR — Epic, Oracle Health, athenahealth, or MEDITECH — with voice-controlled chart navigation (Suki Speech), computer-assisted ICD-10 and CPT coding (Suki Coder), and in-room ambient documentation across 100+ specialties and many languages.

Frequently asked questions

Is Claire better than Suki?
Claire and Suki solve different problems. Suki is a voice-driven ambient assistant embedded deep in major EHRs, strong on in-room transcription, voice navigation, and coding. Claire runs patient intake and history-taking before the visit and then drafts the note, so it is the better fit for physicians who want the whole documentation workflow handled rather than an in-EHR voice assistant.
What is the difference between Claire and Suki?
Suki listens during the appointment, lets clinicians navigate the EHR by voice, and suggests codes inside Epic, Oracle Health, athenahealth, or MEDITECH. Claire interviews the patient before the visit, captures a structured history, and drafts the clinical note for review on any EMR — acting as an AI senior resident across the full visit rather than a voice assistant inside the chart.
Can Claire replace Suki?
Claire can replace Suki for physicians who want intake, history, and note drafting in one self-serve workflow on any EMR. Practices that specifically need voice-controlled EHR navigation, computer-assisted coding, or deep two-way integration with Epic, Oracle Health, athenahealth, or MEDITECH may still prefer Suki.
Is Claire cheaper than Suki?
Suki is typically about $299 to $399 per user per month for its Compose and Assistant tiers, with enterprise quotes above that. Claire is $99 per provider per month with self-serve signup, so Claire is substantially cheaper for most independent and small practices.
Who should use Suki instead of Claire?
Practices and health systems that want a deep-EHR voice assistant — in-room ambient documentation, voice-controlled chart navigation, and computer-assisted coding across Epic, Oracle Health, athenahealth, or MEDITECH and 100+ specialties — should consider Suki instead of Claire.
