# Kibu vs eVero

> Kibu is built around the DSP's shift: a DSP speaks Quick Notes into their phone and Magic Pen turns them into the service record, Clara turns documentation into audit-ready reports, and 600+ classes give the program day something to run on. eVero has spent 25 years building an IDD platform shaped by New York's requirements.

## Summary

- **Kibu writes the shift note itself.** A Kibu DSP speaks Quick Notes into their phone in any of 200+ languages as the shift runs, and Magic Pen turns them into the service record. eVero AI Assist drafts monthly summaries from data a DSP already typed into a form.
- **The program day comes included.** Kibu ships 600+ classes, daily live sessions, and Kibu Create alongside the documentation, and is used by 480+ provider organizations across 48 states. Content for the people served is not part of eVero's published platform.
- **Where eVero still fits.** eVero has a long track record in New York, where it sends EVV to the state aggregator. If your agency is in New York, that matters. For everyone else, Kibu covers the documentation and adds the program day.

## Feature comparison: Kibu vs eVero

### What a DSP touches every shift

| Capability | Kibu | eVero |
|---|---|---|
| Writes the note for you from speech | Yes. A DSP speaks or types Quick Notes into their phone, in 200+ languages, and Magic Pen turns them into a full, structured service record. | Partial. AI Assist drafts monthly summaries from data already recorded. Nothing published describes writing a note from speech. |
| AI quality check on documentation | Yes. Built into Magic Pen: the note is checked as it is written, and compliance dashboards surface gaps across a program. Kibu still advises a human review before submitting. | Partial. AI Assist corrects grammar and style in text entries. No published feature reviews the content of a note for compliance gaps. |
| Mobile app for documenting in the field | Yes. iOS and Android app for notes, service documentation, and attendance. | Yes. iOS and Android apps are available for users. |
| Daily notes and shift logs | Yes. Case notes, progress notes, and shift notes, written by voice or typed, either on desktop or on the mobile app. | Yes. Progress notes, group notes, and communication logs are separate apps, entered as digital forms. |

## Where eVero is the better choice

Kibu matches or exceeds eVero on every capability compared here.

eVero has a long track record in New York, where it sends EVV to the state aggregator. If your agency is in New York, that matters. For everyone else, Kibu covers the documentation and adds the program day.

## The AI meets the DSP at the end of the shift

In Kibu, the DSP speaks Quick Notes into their phone during the shift, in whichever of 200+ languages they think in, and Magic Pen turns them into a structured service record that meets documentation standards. eVero's AI Assist drafts monthly summaries from data a DSP already entered, so someone still types the shift note into a form on a phone first. On Kibu, that typing step is the one that disappears.

The summary is only as good as the notes under it. Providers on Kibu average 99.2% compliance within their first two months.

## The report you asked for, in minutes

Clara reads documentation already in the system and writes the audit-ready report you asked for, in minutes, including the ones nobody built a template for. eVero publishes 400+ standard reports across 30 categories, and the report you need has to be in the catalog.

An audit takes a morning, and nobody spends a week reformatting an export into the shape a reviewer wanted.

## Staff who are not confident with technology still use it

Kibu is built for a DSP holding a phone at the end of a shift. If someone can use YouTube or Facebook, they can use Kibu, and they write the note by talking. In eVero, progress notes, group notes, and communication logs are separate apps, entered as digital forms.

Training runs in days, and nobody spends the year after go-live chasing adoption.

## What actually happens during the week

Kibu has 600+ classes, daily live coach-led sessions, ready-made lesson plans, and Kibu Create, which builds an activity around one person's interests and ISP goals. A morning stretch session, a kitchen-safety lesson, a Jeopardy game generated from a goal. eVero will document the service, verify the visit, and bill for it; what happens during those hours is yours to supply.

Most agencies buy programming separately or go without it. On Kibu, the activity and the documentation of that activity live in the same place.

## Switching from eVero

Nothing about moving to Kibu requires running two systems for a season or losing what you have already recorded. Kibu's onboarding team does the migration with you, and the whole rollout takes about a month.

- **Your data comes with you.** Kibu's team handles migration: the people you serve, their personal information, and their goals. We have migrated agencies off paper, so a structured export is not the hard case.
- **Your historical records stay reachable.** Nothing about moving forward requires deleting what is behind you. We plan retention with you before anything moves.
- **Setup fits the way you work.** Kibu configures the platform around your programs and your state's rules before your team starts.
- **Training takes days.** Live walkthroughs, video guides, and in-app tips. Most teams are confident in days. The content library is live right away with a week or two of rollout support; documentation rollout takes about a month, six weeks at the outside for larger organizations.

What does not change: your state's requirements, your billing obligations, and the people you serve. Kibu is built for Medicaid, HIPAA, and state-specific rules, and is updated as those rules change.

## Pricing

Kibu: Kibu pricing depends on your size and which programs you run, and it is shared during a demo. All documentation customers receive full access to Kibu Content, so the programming most agencies buy separately is already included. Most providers find Kibu costs less than what they use now.

eVero: eVero does not publish a price list. Their EHR is described as a per-user license, and the rest of the platform is sold as modular packages put together per agency, so what you pay depends on which modules you take and how many staff need a seat. Implementation fees are not published.

## Frequently asked questions

### Is Kibu a real alternative to eVero?

For day programs, group homes, and community services, yes. Kibu covers the documentation core: case notes, ISP goal tracking, eMAR, incidents, EVV, billing, and audit-ready reporting, plus a content library eVero does not offer. The cases where eVero remains the better fit are New York agencies that rely on its track record with the state's EVV and billing systems.

### Does eVero's AI write notes the way Magic Pen does?

Not the shift note. In Kibu the DSP speaks Quick Notes during the shift, and Magic Pen turns them into the service record and checks it as it is written. eVero AI Assist drafts monthly summaries from data already in the record, and nothing published describes speech, dictation, or transcription, so the per-shift note is still typed into a form.

### Our staff struggle with technology. Will they use Kibu?

That is the case Kibu is designed for. If your staff can watch YouTube or use Facebook, they can use Kibu. Documentation is written by speaking, and most teams are confident within a few days.

### Our DSPs speak several languages. How do the two compare?

Kibu works before the translation step: a DSP speaks Quick Notes in the language they think in, across 200+ languages, and Magic Pen turns them into a structured service record. eVero's AI Assist can translate a text entry into another language after it has been written. For a team where English is a second language for many staff, that is the difference between writing a note twice and writing it once.

### Can we move our data from eVero to Kibu?

Yes. Kibu's team handles migration, including the people you serve, their personal information, and their goals. eVero does not publish what migration support it provides or in what formats. We have migrated agencies coming off paper records, so a structured export is a well-trodden path.

### How long does it take to get running on Kibu?

The content library goes live right away, with rollout support over the first week or two. Documentation rollout takes about a month, six weeks at the outside, depending on the size of the organization. eVero publishes no standard rollout length.

### Do we have to give up eVero to use Kibu's content library?

No. Some agencies take the content library first while staying on their existing documentation system, then move documentation over later. Content-only setups are usually running within days.
