ezyVet AI notes alternatives (beta ends Nov 1, 2026)
Updated October 26, 2026
ezyVet's AI-Assisted Notes beta ends on November 1, 2026. 7 AI scribes work with ezyVet today: 2 connect directly (CoVet and VetRec), 4 write into ezyVet through a browser extension, and 2 of those have a free plan you can switch to before the cutoff.
What's ending, and when
ezyVet's Knowledge Center notice (last updated October 12, 2026) says:
- The AI-Assisted Notes beta ends on November 1, 2026, and ezyVet no longer accepts new beta sign-ups.
- AI-assisted documentation is now available through CoVet, an IDEXX company, which offers a free trial.
- AI Patient History Summarization is not affected and stays in beta.
- Notes you approved stay in your clinical records.
- ezyVet will share more information about existing recordings and transcripts "soon".

If your team relies on old recordings or transcripts, ask ezyVet support what happens to them before November 1. The notice doesn't say yet.
AI scribes that work with ezyVet
Ranked by how the note gets into ezyVet, then by entry price. A direct integration pulls the appointment from ezyVet and sends the note back to the right patient; a browser extension types the note into the consult you have open; "types into any field" means dictation into whatever box your cursor is in.

Free stopgaps for November 2
If you need something running the day after the beta closes while you trial a paid scribe:
- PawfectNotes: 50 sessions/month, forever; gets notes into ezyVet via automatic write-back (browser extension). source checked 2026-10-26
- Scribenote: unlimited notes on standard AI models; gets notes into ezyVet via PIMSPal browser extension. source checked 2026-10-26
- OpenBark: Free (open source, Apache-2.0): no subscription, no per-vet or per-visit fees. Beta: not yet validated in real clinics, and it has no ezyVet connection yet, so notes are copied in by hand. source checked 2026-10-26
A free plan's cap matters more than its price. Count last month's consults and check them against the monthly limit before you rely on one for the whole team.
How to pick a replacement this week
- Watch the note land in ezyVet. Ask for a demo of the export step on a real consult: does it fill the right fields, or drop one block of text you re-sort?
- Price it for your whole team. Check whether the plan charges per vet or per user, whether techs and front desk need seats, and whether there's a monthly record cap.
- Ask about integration fees. Some scribes charge per clinic or per server for the PMS connection on top of the seat price.
- Check trial terms. They differ by vendor, from a free plan to a time-limited trial to a money-back guarantee; the table above shows each one with its source.
- Sort out client consent and storage. Decide how you'll tell clients a visit is recorded, and ask each vendor where recordings are stored and for how long.
- Run two on the same appointments. Trial your top two side by side for a few days and let the vets who write the most notes choose.
