When Sahl AI may be the better fit

- Your notes are written in English only by institutional policy and you want a product with published evidence.
When DocRecap is the better fit
- You want the note in Arabic and English together rather than English only, with patient instructions in Arabic.
- You run a private clinic and want one system for booking, prescriptions, labs and invoices along with the scribe.
- You want the visit summary and prescription to reach the patient on WhatsApp without an app.
- You are outside Saudi Arabia, or want a single-clinic price in your own currency.
