ClearPass vs Nabla
Nabla and ClearPass solve the same problem at different scales. Nabla presents itself as a clinical AI layer for health organisations, with integrations into major EHRs. ClearPass is a self-serve browser app for an individual clinician who wants a note and the letters that follow it. If you are choosing for yourself rather than for a hospital, the difference matters.
Two different buyers
Nabla's homepage describes three products: ambient documentation that turns the conversation into structured notes, dictation built into Epic and other EHRs, and E/M and ICD-10 coding suggestions. It names integrations with Epic, athenahealth, Oracle Health, NextGen, Greenway Health and Arya EHR, and offers a web app, iOS and Android apps and a Chrome extension. It invites visitors to try it for free or to talk to its team. We found no public price list; its pricing address returned a not-found page when we checked.
ClearPass is sold to the individual clinician. You sign in with Google or an email code, get a 7-day trial with no card, and then one plan. There is no implementation project and nothing to integrate, which also means there is no EMR connection at all.

What Nabla offers that ClearPass does not
- Integration with widely used EHRs, including dictation inside Epic. ClearPass has no EMR integration.
- Native mobile apps and a Chrome extension. ClearPass is a browser app you can add to your home screen.
- Published security programmes on its homepage, and a trust centre for health system reviewers.
- Support for rollouts across large organisations, with configurable data retention for governance teams.
- E/M level suggestions alongside ICD-10.
What ClearPass offers that Nabla's site does not describe
- Self-serve sign-up with a published plan, so a solo clinician can start today without a sales call.
- Prior authorization letters and denied-claim appeals written from the consultation, with a choice of Concise, Standard or Detailed length.
- Letters and documents from the same visit in one click each: referral, patient instructions, sick note, medical report or another letter you describe.
- A note history that stays on your own device, with auto-delete after 7, 30 or 90 days if you choose.
Choosing between them
If you work inside a health system that runs a supported EHR and your informatics team is choosing a scribe, Nabla is built for that conversation and ClearPass is not. Integration, governance and a published trust centre carry weight in that setting.
If you run your own clinic, work as a locum, or simply want a tool you can start this afternoon, ClearPass is closer to that need. Try it on a few visits during the trial and compare the drafts to your usual notes. Our guide to choosing an AI scribe lists the questions to ask either vendor.
What ClearPass does not do
- It does not replace your judgement. Every note is an AI draft that you review and correct before it is used.
- It is not a medical device and does not make clinical decisions. It is a documentation aid.
- It does not connect to your EMR. The note is copy-ready text that pastes into any system.
Privacy
Clinical note content is not stored on ClearPass servers: it is processed to write the note, then discarded. Consultation audio is transcribed and discarded, never stored. Your note history stays in your browser, on your device, and you choose how long it is kept. Common identifiers are removed from typed and transcribed text before it reaches the AI; that is a best-effort safeguard, so leave names, ID numbers and file numbers out where you can. Processing goes through the AI providers named in our Privacy Policy, which sets out exactly what each one receives and how long it keeps it. ClearPass does not sign HIPAA business associate agreements today.
Questions
How much does Nabla cost?
We could not find a public price on Nabla's website when we checked. Its homepage offers a free try-out and a contact form.
Can I use ClearPass inside my EHR like Nabla?
No. ClearPass does not connect to any EMR. You copy the finished note and paste it into your system.
Which languages do they handle?
Nabla's help centre says it supports over 35 languages. ClearPass transcribes visits in most languages, including mixed-language visits, and writes the note in English.
Is ClearPass meant for hospitals?
It works in any browser, but it is built for individual clinicians. It has no EMR integration and does not sign business associate agreements today, which many organisations require.
