The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Allscripts pricing is not publicly available; all quotes require direct contact with sales; Sectra sectra does not make scanners, so it cannot cross-subsidise software against modality hardware the way an integrated manufacturer can, and it often loses on headline price in a bundled tender.
  • They diverge on capability: Allscripts covers Electronic Health Records, Sectra covers Sectra IDS7.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

What people use each for

Allscripts

  • Electronic health records and practice management for healthcare providersnot Sectra
  • Healthcare IT solutions for revenue cycle management and patient engagement (now Veradigm)not Sectra

Sectra

  • A regional health service replacing several departmental PACS with one archive and one clinician viewernot Allscripts

  • A trust that needs to send and receive studies with neighbouring organisations routinely, where the Image Exchange Portal is already the regional normnot Allscripts

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Allscripts

  • Pricing is not publicly available; all quotes require direct contact with sales
  • Transitioned to Veradigm brand in 2022; legacy Allscripts product line integrated into Veradigm suite

Sectra

  • Sectra does not make scanners, so it cannot cross-subsidise software against modality hardware the way an integrated manufacturer can, and it often loses on headline price in a bundled tender.
  • Diagnostic AI is not built in house; Amplifier orchestrates third party algorithms, so the algorithms themselves need separate licences, separate clinical validation and separate information governance sign off.
  • Sectra One Cloud is priced against a committed annual study volume, and organisations whose imaging activity grows faster than forecast meet overage charges partway through the term.
  • The pathology module assumes you have already solved slide scanning and laboratory workflow, which is the larger and more expensive part of digitising histopathology and is not in Sectra scope.
  • Depth of Epic and Oracle Health integration varies by region and by which modules you buy, so a reference site in Sweden is a weak predictor of what integration will cost a United States buyer.
