Tali is a Canadian-built clinical workflow platform. Heidi is a global AI scribe with a growing Canadian presence. Here is how they compare across the factors that matter most for Canadian clinics.
Heidi and Tali both generate clinical notes from patient conversations.
Where they diverge is in what happens around the note.
For Canadian clinics specifically, the differences in EMR integration, platform scope, and government recognition are worth understanding before making a decision.
Tali holds partner-validated native integrations with TELUS Health PS Suite, CHR, and Med Access, plus Accuro, OSCAR, Medesync, and HealthQuest. These are formal integrations built in partnership with the EMR vendors themselves.
Heidi holds a partner-validated integration with one Canadian EMR. For other Canadian EMRs, clinicians using Heidi will rely on browser-based workflows to move notes into the chart.
Heidi's core offering is AI Scribe, with additional features including Ask Heidi, Memory, Teams, and limited form support, with documentation quality at the centre of the experience.
Tali also puts documentation quality at the centre of the experience, with an AI Scribe built on a next-generation model with improved speaker recognition, stronger handling of complex multi-topic visits, and reduced need for manual edits. From there, Tali extends into Fillable Forms with a full library of Canadian government, insurance, and disability forms, Billing support including FHO+ time-based codes, Call a Patient for outbound phone visits, pre-visit Appointments, and Clinical Medical Search drawing specifically from Canadian evidence sources including Choosing Wisely Canada and CIHI. Tali currently offers 14+ connected capabilities in one platform.
Both Tali and Heidi hold SOC 2 Type II certification, TGV certification, and are compliant with HIPAA, PIPEDA, and PHIPA. Both store and process data in Canada.
Where they differ is government recognition and independent validation. Tali was pre-qualified underthe Canada Health Infoway AI Scribe Program, the national initiative that offered eligible primary care clinicians a funded one-year license. Heidi was not included in the Infoway program.
Tali also participated in OntarioMD's AI Scribe pilot study, one of the largest of its kind in Canada, and was independently recognized as a top 1% AI ambient scribe by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
Both platforms support 100+ languages. Tali's models are specifically fine-tuned for Canadian accents, including Quebec and Acadian French. Clinicians can document conversations in the language most comfortable for the patient and produce the note in the language of their choice.
Both Tali and Heidi offer a free tier and paid plans at similar price points for their core clinician plans.
Heidi's Clinician plan is $130 CAD per user per month billed annually. Tali's Pro plan is $135 CAD per user per month, or $100 CAD with annual billing.
Where they differ is what is included at those price points. Heidi's Clinician plan is focused on documentation and clinical evidence. Tali's Pro plan includes unlimited AI Scribe, AI Task Management, Fillable Forms, Clinical Medical Search, Call a Patient, customizable templates, and phone support, covering a broader set of clinical workflows within the same monthly investment.
