Coggo or ScribbleVet?
ScribbleVet excels at dental and radiograph documentation. Coggo offers a free tier, 10 languages, and lower pricing. Both are production-ready, but face different roadmap risks.
ScribbleVet is a solid AI scribe with deep expertise in dental and radiograph workflows. Coggo is a general-purpose veterinary AI scribe with broader language support and transparent pricing. ScribbleVet was acquired by Instinct Science in January 2026, which may affect roadmap for non-Instinct practices.

Feature-by-feature.
The differences in detail.
ScribbleVet's dental and radiograph depth
ScribbleVet was built with dental specialists and radiograph workflows in mind. If your practice is 50%+ dental or you do extensive radiograph interpretation, ScribbleVet's specialized templates and integration may save you significant time. Coggo handles dental cases competently but does not specialize in dental the way ScribbleVet does.
Instinct acquisition and roadmap risk
ScribbleVet was acquired by Instinct Science in January 2026. This creates tight integration with Instinct EMR, but also narrows the roadmap for non-Instinct practices. If you use a different PIMS (VetPro, Cornerstone, ezyVet), Coggo's open API and universal copy-paste fallback may be safer long-term.
Pricing and free tier
Coggo is $99/vet/mo annually, with a free tier of 10 notes/month forever. ScribbleVet is $150/vet/mo with a 14-day trial only. For solo practitioners or clinics evaluating AI scribes, Coggo's free tier and lower entry point are significant advantages.
About switching to Coggo.
Is ScribbleVet better for dental practices?
Yes, if your practice is primarily dental-focused. ScribbleVet's templates and workflows were built specifically for dental specialists. Coggo handles dental cases competently but does not specialize in dental the way ScribbleVet does.
Will ScribbleVet tie me to Instinct EMR?
ScribbleVet integrates tightly with Instinct EMR post-acquisition. If you use Instinct, that integration is now native and supported. If you use a different PIMS, ScribbleVet still works via copy-paste and PDF, but the roadmap is now Instinct-focused. Coggo's open API supports any PIMS.
Can I try Coggo if I am evaluating dental scribes?
Yes. Coggo's Free plan gives you 10 notes per month at no cost, no credit card. You can try it alongside ScribbleVet during your 14-day trial and compare. Coggo won't match ScribbleVet's dental specialization, but you'll get a sense of the overall SOAP quality and workflow.
