How to choose between them

Start with your practice software. On Provet, CoVet is the one with a confirmed connection. On Instinct, it's VetRec. If you're on ezyVet or Cornerstone or AVImark or Covetrus Pulse or Vetspire or Shepherd or ImproMed, both work, so look at how: a direct connection pulls in your schedule and sends the note back to the right patient, while an extension types it into the open record.

Then price it for your clinic, not per seat. Both include support staff on their main plan, so the bill is roughly vets times the per-vet price. Our ranking says nothing about note accuracy; we haven't tested either, so run both trials on the same appointments.

Where they differ

Entry plan. CoVet has a cheaper capped plan: $45.83/user/mo (Essentials, 100 records/mo, annual) · $99/user/mo (Unlimited) source checked 2026-10-26. VetRec publishes one scribe price, $99/vet/mo (annual) · $150/vet/mo (monthly) · Custom plans source checked 2026-10-20, so a part-time vet who writes fewer than 100 notes a month pays less on CoVet.
ezyVet. Both have a certified direct ezyVet integration. CoVet: No extra fee since Sept 25, 2026; needs a CoVet subscription source checked 2026-10-23. VetRec: direct (certified, extra monthly fee per clinic); fee amount not published in the article source checked 2026-10-20.
Cornerstone. CoVet connects direct via Bitwerx (paid add-on): $35/month per Cornerstone server; US & Canada only; not available during free trial source checked 2026-10-20. VetRec uses a direct connection (installer on server) source checked 2026-10-20, with no separate fee in the article we read.
Support staff. CoVet: Free 'Support' plan for non-vet staff only. VetRec: Unlimited visits; unlimited tech & front-desk seats.
Trial. CoVet: yes (2 weeks) source checked 2026-10-26. VetRec: yes (14 days, no credit card) source checked 2026-10-20.
Languages. CoVet: Records in 100+ languages (vendor claim). VetRec: English and Spanish (GA); French, Portuguese, German, Hindi, Dutch, Korean, Cantonese, Mandarin in beta.

VetRec also sells a separate AI receptionist, which the scribe price doesn't cover. CoVet is the scribe ezyVet now points its own AI-notes users to; if that's why you're looking, see ezyVet AI notes alternatives.
