The short version

  • Only Healthgrades has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Allscripts TouchWorks allscripts moved its products to the Veradigm brand in 2022, so the Allscripts name is retired; Healthgrades healthgrades is free for consumers and monetizes through a separate B2B arm (b2b.healthgrades.com) selling 'Claim your profile' provider listings, health-system quality solutions, and life-sciences advertiser placements, none of which publish public pricing, per the vendor's own site structure.
  • They diverge on capability: Allscripts TouchWorks covers Electronic Health Records, Healthgrades covers Provider Search.
