How Nosht differs from SoapNotesAI

Built for UK dental compliance

SoapNotesAI is US-oriented and multi-discipline (medical, dental, therapy). It uses SOAP note format (Subjective, Objective, Assessment, Plan), a general clinical-note structure that originated in US medicine; FGDP(UK) guidance does not prescribe a heading format. Nosht templates are informed by GDC Standards for the Dental Team and FGDP(UK) Clinical Examination and Record-Keeping guidelines. Every template is structured around UK dental record-keeping requirements, including clinical findings, treatment provided, consent, patient communication, and follow-up — the way UK dental notes are actually written.

GDPR-aligned by design

SoapNotesAI markets HIPAA compliance for the US market (per soapnotesai.com, checked June 2026). We did not find a UK GDPR statement on its public site as of June 2026 — UK practices should confirm GDPR/UK GDPR status directly with the provider; the absence of a public UK statement is not itself proof of non-compliance. For UK dental practices, GDPR is the law — not HIPAA. Nosht is built data-light by design: your clinical notes contain no patient identifiers, only clinical descriptors, so the notes you copy into your PMS carry no names, NHS numbers, or dates of birth. There are two exceptions, both optional: the Referral Letter template, where you choose to enter patient details (name and date of birth, with NHS number, address and contact optional); and Send Leaflet, which processes a patient's email address or mobile number solely to deliver a patient information leaflet. You select clinical options from templates and copy the output to your PMS.

No audio recording, no voice scribe

SoapNotesAI uses AI speech-to-text to produce SOAP notes; how it captures and processes audio is not disclosed on its public site, so you should verify directly with the provider. Nosht's design is different by default: there is no microphone, no recording, and no transcription — it is not an AI speech-to-text tool. You click through structured template options and the note text is deterministic; its AI is optional and clinician-reviewed: an advisory completeness check on the note you have written, plus a shorthand fill that reads your typed text, never audio, and you confirm every field (see how Nosht uses AI). The note is built only from what you select or type.

Transparent UK pricing

SoapNotesAI does not publish its pricing on its site and is aimed at the US market. Nosht offers transparent UK pricing in GBP: two published plans, Solo (from £9.99/month) and Pro, with no per-note charges and a 3-day free trial (card required). For UK dental professionals, published GBP pricing makes the cost clear before you sign up.

When SoapNotesAI might be the better choice

SoapNotesAI may be better suited if you practise in the US where SOAP format and HIPAA compliance are the standard. If you prefer an AI speech-to-text approach over structured clicking — where the system generates notes from a recording — SoapNotesAI is built for that workflow. For UK dentists, however, the US-focused positioning and SOAP format make it a less natural fit than a purpose-built UK tool, and you would need to confirm its UK GDPR position and which PMS integrations it supports in the UK separately with the provider.

Your existing notes stay in your PMS; there is nothing to migrate.

Aren’t templated notes all the same?

No. Every finding in a Nosht note is one you selected for this patient, and you can add free text or typed shorthand (which the optional Nosht AI turns into fields you confirm). Bulletproof Mode then flags missing elements, such as consent, risks discussed and post-op advice, before you paste the note into your PMS. What stays the same is the structure, so nothing required is left out.

Frequently asked questions

Is Nosht a good alternative to SoapNotesAI for UK dentists?

Yes. SoapNotesAI is built for the US market using SOAP format and HIPAA compliance. Nosht is purpose-built for UK dental professionals with GDC and FGDP(UK)-aligned templates, GDPR-aligned data practices, and UK dental record-keeping standards. If you practise in the UK, Nosht is designed specifically for your regulatory environment.

What is the difference between SOAP format and UK dental notes?

SOAP (Subjective, Objective, Assessment, Plan) is a general clinical-note structure that originated in US medicine. Nosht templates are structured around FGDP(UK) record-keeping headings instead — clinical findings, treatment provided, consent, and patient communication.

Does Nosht use AI like SoapNotesAI?

Yes, but differently. Nosht’s note text comes from structured templates you click through, so every finding comes from what you select or type. Its AI is optional (Nosht AI, on Pro): it fills template fields from shorthand you type, never from audio, and runs an advisory completeness check on the note you have written; you review and confirm every field before it is used. SoapNotesAI is a US-oriented AI speech-to-text SOAP tool; Nosht has no voice recording and no audio processing, so it is not an AI speech-to-text tool.

Is SoapNotesAI GDPR-aligned?

SoapNotesAI markets HIPAA compliance for the US market. We did not find a UK GDPR statement on its public site as of June 2026 — UK practices should confirm GDPR/UK GDPR status directly with the provider. If you practise in the UK, you need a tool that meets GDPR requirements. Nosht is built with GDPR alignment in mind — your clinical notes hold no patient identifiers, only clinical descriptors. There are two exceptions, both optional: the Referral Letter template, where you choose to enter patient details (name and date of birth, with NHS number, address and contact optional); and Send Leaflet, which processes a patient's email address or mobile number solely to deliver a patient information leaflet. Nosht saves the notes and drafts you write to your account so you can find them again in your notes history. Your notes and account data are processed in accordance with UK GDPR. See our Privacy Policy and DPA for full details.

Does SoapNotesAI record patient conversations?

SoapNotesAI is an AI speech-to-text tool that transcribes consultations into SOAP notes; how it stores or processes that audio is not disclosed on its public site, so UK practices should verify directly with the provider. Nosht takes a different approach — there is no audio recording and no transcription, and your clinical notes contain no patient identifiers, only clinical descriptors. You select clinical options from templates and copy the output to your PMS. There are two exceptions, both optional: the Referral Letter template, where you choose to enter patient details (name and date of birth, with NHS number, address and contact optional); and Send Leaflet, which processes a patient's email address or mobile number solely to deliver a patient information leaflet.

How much does Nosht cost compared to SoapNotesAI?

Nosht Solo starts at £9.99/month, with transparent UK pricing in GBP. SoapNotesAI does not publish pricing on its site and is aimed at the US market (it references HIPAA and US practice systems). Nosht includes a 3-day free trial — card required; cancel before the trial ends and you won't be charged.
