Summary
Corti and Wai do different jobs. Corti is an API platform for developers building healthcare software, with usage-based pricing and EU-hosted models. Wai is the finished platform a private clinic runs on, covering booking, front desk, consult, note and follow-up at a published price with no engineering team required.
This is an unusual comparison because the two products do different jobs. Corti is an API platform for developers building healthcare software. Wai is a finished AI platform for private clinics.
If you are building a healthcare product, Corti belongs on your list and Wai is not for you. If you run a clinic, Wai is for you and Corti is the raw material products like it are built from.
Raw material for builders, finished product for clinics. Be honest about which one you are.

Where Corti is genuinely strong
Corti gives a development team medical speech-to-text, clinical text generation, coding and agent APIs with public usage pricing and a free starting balance. That transparency is rare and welcome in healthcare AI.
For European builders it may be the default choice. EU-hosted models, sovereign cloud deployments, and ISO 27001, 27017 and 27018 with zero nonconformities answer the data-residency questions most vendors dodge.
Where Wai is different
Wai is not an ingredient. It is the finished platform a private clinic runs on, covering the booking page, the front desk, the consult, the note and the follow-up, configured for your clinic and live in days.
The price is published in full on our pricing page and there is no engineering team required. The comparison only exists when a clinic Googles for a scribe and lands on a developer platform.

Book a demoFrequently asked questions
Is Corti cheaper than Wai?
They are not comparable line items. Corti charges per API call, $0.0065 per minute of speech-to-text for example, but you pay engineers to build and maintain the product around it. Wai is a finished platform at a published subscription price. For a clinic, Wai costs less in every honest accounting because there is nothing to build.
Does Wai use Corti's APIs?
We do not comment on our vendor stack. What we can say is that Wai is a complete product, not an assembly of third-party APIs a clinic would need to integrate itself.
Can Corti power an ambient scribe?
Yes, that is one of its main use cases, and its pricing page includes a worked example for ambient scribing. But the scribe itself, the product clinicians touch, is what its customers build. Wai is already built.
What does Corti give a development team?
Corti gives a development team medical speech-to-text, clinical text generation, coding and agent APIs with public usage pricing and a free starting balance. That transparency is rare and welcome in healthcare AI.
