NABLA VS RECAPRO
Comparing Recapro and Nabla: clinical SaaS scribe or on-premise meeting notes
Nabla is a SaaS medical assistant. According to its website, it is deployed in more than 130 healthcare organisations, used by more than 85,000 clinicians, covers more than 55 specialties and integrates with the patient record (Epic, athenahealth, Weda). Its European data is hosted on Google Cloud in Belgium. Recapro is a meeting-notes tool with a healthcare mode that can be installed on your own servers, up to air-gap. The two answer different needs, and the main difference is where the processing happens.

Nabla and Recapro: five verified differences
Findings verified on nabla.com and its Trust Center on October 16, 2026. They stem from the deployment model. On compliance, Nabla’s Trust Center lists SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR and the EU AI Act, among others.
Processing happens at the vendor
With SaaS, the consultation is transcribed and summarised on the provider’s infrastructure. Nabla’s Trust Center states Google Cloud hosting in Belgium for clients outside the United States and lists Microsoft Azure as its transcription subprocessor. Nabla states that it does not keep audio and does not reuse data to train its models. In this model, those guarantees rest on the contract and on audits.
Installation at the customer’s site
An installation on the facility’s own servers is not publicly documented on nabla.com as of October 16, 2026. Recapro Forteresse installs on your servers, and the audio, the transcript and the report stay on your infrastructure.
Closed networks
A SaaS service needs a connection to the vendor. Recapro On-Premise can run air-gapped, with no outbound connection, AI models included, for isolated sites and closed networks.
Generation model
The Trust Center names Microsoft Azure for transcription. For report generation, nabla.com names neither a provider nor a model publicly as of October 16, 2026. Recapro runs open-weight models on its servers, or on yours with On-Premise.
Scope of use
Nabla is built for the clinical consultation (ambient documentation, dictation, coding) and its integration with the patient record. Recapro also covers non-clinical meetings: staff meetings, medical committees, steering committees, boards, supplier meetings.
Recapro and Nabla: criterion by criterion
Comparison verified on nabla.com and its Trust Center on October 16, 2026. The two products target different uses, a SaaS clinical scribe on one side and a meeting-notes tool that can be installed at the customer’s site on the other. The table compares what can be compared.

Nabla or Recapro? it depends on your constraint
The two products solve different problems. Here is how to decide in one read.
Choose Nabla if…
- Your main need is the consultation report, written in the vocabulary of your specialty.
- You want the report to land directly in the patient record (Epic, athenahealth, Weda), with no copy-paste.
- You are an independent physician and want to start on your own, with no infrastructure project.
- ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II and European hosting meet your risk assessment.
- You want a product already deployed at scale, and Nabla reports more than 130 healthcare organisations and more than 85,000 clinicians.
Choose Recapro if…
- Your internal policy or your supervising authority requires the audio to stay on the facility’s servers.
- You must run on a closed network with no outbound connection: isolated site, constrained environment, continuity exercise.
- You want to know which AI model processes the data and which machine it runs on.
- You also need to cover non-clinical meetings: staff meetings, medical committees, steering committees, boards, supplier meetings.
- You need a published price to build a budget before starting a sales conversation.
Put differently: if your priority is clinical depth and EHR integration, Nabla meets that need. If your priority is that the consultation is processed on your own servers, that is the use case for Recapro On-Premise.
What Recapro adds with a deployment on your site
Six capabilities tied to the deployment model and the scope of the product.
On-premise in your facility
Installation on your servers (Kubernetes, dedicated machine or appliance). The audio, the transcript and the report stay within your network perimeter. Nabla is a SaaS service.
Air-gap mode
With On-Premise, Recapro can run with no outbound connection at all, embedded AI models included. Keeping the data in then depends on the network architecture.
Open-weight models
Recapro runs open-weight models on its servers, or directly on yours with On-Premise, with no third-party LLM at inference. Nabla does not publicly name a provider or a model for report generation.
All your meetings, consultations included
Staff meetings, medical committees, steering committees, boards, supplier meetings, interviews: Recapro is a general meeting-notes tool with a healthcare mode. Nabla focuses on the consultation.
Public price list
Cloud Team at €22.90/user/month (€17.90 billed annually), 5 users minimum. Forteresse On-Premise at €19.90/seat/month, 10 seats minimum, hardware extra from €4,990. Nabla publishes no price and offers a free trial and a conversation with its team.
Output to your internal tools

Nabla and Recapro: frequently asked questions
01
Is Nabla compliant for health data?
As of October 16, 2026, Nabla’s Trust Center lists SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, HIPAA, CCPA, Texas RAMP, GDPR, the EU AI Act, PIPEDA and CIS Level 2, with TLS 1.2+ encryption in transit and AES-256 at rest. Its compliance & security page states hosting on HDS-certified infrastructure. This comparison does not question any of these points. It asks a different question: do you want these guarantees to rest on a contract and audits, or on processing within your own walls?
02
What is the main difference between Nabla and Recapro?
Where the processing happens. Nabla is a SaaS service, where the consultation is transcribed and summarised on the vendor’s infrastructure, backed by contractual commitments and certifications. Recapro can be installed on your servers, up to air-gap mode with no outbound connection. In that setup, keeping the data in depends on the architecture.
03
Does Recapro replace a clinical scribe?
Not like for like. Nabla is a clinical scribe integrated with the patient record, reporting more than 55 specialties and native connections to Epic, athenahealth and Weda. Recapro is a general meeting-notes tool with a healthcare mode. It produces the report, without native EHR integration.
04
Is Recapro HDS, ISO 27001 or SOC 2 certified?
No. Recapro holds none of these certifications today, and its architecture is HDS-ready. Recapro Cloud: data at rest in France at Scaleway (Postgres and object storage, fr-par region); in transit, Cloudflare terminates TLS. With On-Premise, including air-gapped, the data stays on your servers. On ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II, Nabla is ahead.
05
Which AI models does Recapro use?
Open-weight models run on our servers, or directly on yours with On-Premise, with no third-party LLM at inference. As of October 16, 2026, nabla.com names neither a provider nor a model for report generation, a common choice in the sector.
06
Can Recapro be used for non-clinical meetings?
Yes, it is where Recapro started: staff meetings, medical committees, steering committees, boards, supplier meetings, interviews. Nabla focuses on the consultation and its integration with the patient record.
07
How much does Nabla cost?
Nabla publishes no price list; the website offers a free trial and a conversation with its team (checked on October 16, 2026).
