CGM one DokuAssistent vs medatixx x.scribe: head-to-head (2026)

German general practice runs on a Praxisverwaltungssystem (PVS), and two vendors dominate that market: CompuGroup Medical (CGM) and medatixx. Both now ship AI documentation built into their practice software — CGM's DokuAssistent, and medatixx's x.scribe. For most German doctors, the realistic AI-scribe choice is whichever of these is native to the PVS they already run.

They take a structurally similar approach but differ in one important way: whose AI engine is underneath.

This is our 2026 head-to-head — sourced facts from each vendor's published material. Both tools are provisional in our catalog: we have not yet hands-on tested either — so treat the verdict as a shortlisting aid, not a substitute for your own trial.

The PVS question decides most of it

Like the broader German market, this comparison is largely pre-decided by the software your practice already runs. Both tools win the same way — they're native to a dominant German PVS — so the decision rule is almost mechanical:

• On CGM TURBOMED or CGM ALBIS? The CGM one DokuAssistent launches from the patient record with one click and writes the finished note straight back into the chart. It's the lowest-friction option that exists for you.
• On medatixx x.concept or x.isynet? x.scribe is the equivalent native layer — real-time transcription producing structured output that transfers into the medatixx record.
• On neither — a CGM or medatixx practice is most German practices, but if you're on T2med, Tomedo or a hospital KIS, both lose their structural advantage and you should widen the shortlist (see our Germany guide).

Neither tool is really competing for the other's customers — they're each competing against the friction of doing nothing.

The engine question

This is the most substantive difference, and it's invisible from the marketing.

CGM one DokuAssistent runs CGM's own engine. CGM is one of Europe's largest healthcare-IT companies; it built the documentation model in-house and runs it on a C5-certified cloud — C5 being the German Federal Office for Information Security's named cloud-security standard — with real-time processing, no recording stored and an explicit no-training-on-customer-data position.

medatixx x.scribe is powered by Corti. medatixx partnered with Corti — the Copenhagen healthcare-AI company — to deliver x.scribe. Corti is clinical-AI infrastructure, and its platform carries the broadest enumerated regulatory stack in our entire catalog (EU MDR, a deep ISO suite, and more). So x.scribe rides a heavily-certified, purpose-built clinical-AI engine — but it's a partner's engine, and Corti's own training-on-customer-data position isn't explicitly stated.

So: CGM gives you a single-vendor stack with an explicit, named data posture (C5, no training). medatixx gives you a best-of-breed engine (Corti) with deep infrastructure certifications, at the cost of the data-handling position being less explicitly spelled out at the x.scribe level. Both are credible; they're different philosophies.

Compliance

Both clear the German baseline — DSGVO, EU hosting, the processing agreement (AVV) embedded in the practice-software contract.

CGM articulates its posture most specifically: the C5-certified cloud is the exact standard German enterprise procurement looks for, and the "no recording stored, no training on data" statements are explicit and first-party.

medatixx x.scribe inherits Corti's infrastructure-grade certifications, which are genuinely deep — but the consumer-facing data statements (training, retention) are less explicitly enumerated than CGM's. Ask medatixx to put the x.scribe-level position in writing.

Edge to CGM on explicit, German-specific articulation; medatixx's underlying engine is heavily certified in its own right.

Pricing transparency

CGM publishes its price — the DokuAssistent starts at €49/month with a free one-month trial. You can see the number and trial it without a sales conversation.

medatixx positions x.scribe and the medatixx-Copilot within the broader practice-software relationship rather than itemising them. If you're an existing medatixx customer that may simply fold into what you already pay; you just can't price the scribe as a standalone line.

Edge to CGM on transparency.

Who should choose which

Choose CGM one DokuAssistent if:

• Your practice runs on CGM TURBOMED or CGM ALBIS — the one-click, note-into-chart integration is unmatched for you.
• You want a single-vendor stack with an explicit C5 + no-training data posture.
• You want a published, trial-able price.

Choose medatixx x.scribe if:

• Your practice runs on medatixx x.concept or x.isynet.
• You're comfortable with — or actively prefer — a best-of-breed engine (Corti) under the practice software.
• The bundled-into-the-PVS-relationship pricing model suits how you already buy.

Bottom line

This is a head-to-head where the answer is mostly written before you compare features: CGM one DokuAssistent if you're on a CGM practice system; medatixx x.scribe if you're on medatixx. Both remove new-tool friction by living inside the PVS. CGM's edge is a single-vendor stack with an explicit, C5-named data posture and transparent pricing; medatixx's is a Corti-powered engine with deep infrastructure certifications behind it.

Both are provisional in our catalog — neither hands-on tested by us yet — so whichever your practice software points to, trial it on real (anonymised) consultations and read the drafts line-by-line.
