Eka Care is a polished, AI-native cloud EMR — and you pay for all of it, every year, whether you use the AI or not. SoapNote flips the deal: the complete clinic EMR is free forever for solo doctors, runs fully offline on your own computer, and AI is pay-per-use on top. Your records stay in your clinic either way.
Everything a solo clinic actually uses, compared honestly. Where Eka is strong, we say so below.

Eka Care pricing verified from its live pricing page, May 2026. Eka Care and EkaScribe are trademarks of Orbi Health; SoapNote is not affiliated with Eka Care.
Eka Care charges roughly ₹18,000 per doctor, every year — a 3-doctor clinic is around ₹54,000/year before add-ons. On SoapNote, the same clinic runs on the Clinic plan at a flat ₹14,999/year: three doctors, three staff seats, tele-consultation and an online booking page included. Roughly 3.5× cheaper — and your patient data still lives in your own clinic.
If these are what you need most today, Eka may be the right tool — an honest comparison cuts both ways.
Eka Care supports ABHA/ABDM linking right now, and EkaScribe turns consultations into structured notes by voice. Both are real, shipped features. ABHA linking is on our near-term roadmap and dictation is a planned add-on — if either is a hard requirement today, Eka is ahead on those two.
Eka's deal is ₹16,999+ every year, with your records on their cloud and access tied to your subscription. Ours is ₹0 forever for the full solo EMR, records on your own computer, working fully offline — and AI you pay for only when you actually use it. Stop paying us and you lose nothing.
