Editor's pick

Full HIPAA + SOC 2 Type II + GDPR + ISO 27001 compliance posture paired with a real free tier — the most defensible single recommendation for a clinician who wants to start ambient scribing without trade-offs.

The verdict

Our Editor's Pick for 2026. The combination Nabla ships is unique in the field: HIPAA, SOC 2 Type II, GDPR and ISO 27001 — the full compliance quartet — with no audio stored by default, an explicit no-training-on-customer-data position, and a real free tier with no credit card required. Scale matches the posture: 85,000+ clinicians across 130+ health organizations are now on it, supporting 20M+ annual encounters, with $120M raised through Series C (June 2025). The platform has matured beyond pure documentation into ambient + dictation + coding + agentic clinical workflows. Trade-offs: it polishes more aggressively than the most precision-focused alternatives, so dense specialist consultations can occasionally lose a detail; and the public pricing page isn't currently live, so Pro-tier and enterprise pricing both require a sales conversation today.

What we liked
  • HIPAA + SOC 2 Type II + GDPR + ISO 27001 — the full compliance quartet
  • No audio stored by default; explicit no-training-on-customer-data position
  • Real free tier — no credit card required
  • Scale: 85,000+ clinicians, 130+ health organizations, 20M+ annual encounters
  • $120M raised through Series C (June 2025) — well-capitalized for category consolidation
  • Beyond-documentation roadmap: ambient + dictation + coding + agentic actions
  • Mobile (iOS + Android), Chrome extension and a public developer API
Watch-outs
  • Polishes dense specialist consultations more aggressively than precision-focused alternatives
  • Public pricing page isn't currently live — Pro and enterprise both sales-led today
  • Published US health-system case studies remain thinner than Abridge for the largest IDNs
  • Nordic language support is thin — Norwegian and Swedish aren't covered, so Nabla isn't a fit for Nordic-only practices despite the EU-region availability
