The short version

  • Only Epocrates has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Annalise.ai the United States cleared indication covers roughly ten findings for triage and notification, far fewer than the model reports, so a buyer who evaluates the full multi-finding output and then contracts in the United States gets a much narrower cleared use.; Epocrates pricing page not publicly accessible
  • They diverge on capability: Annalise.ai covers Annalise Enterprise CXR, Epocrates covers Drug Reference.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

Where each one falls short

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

Annalise.ai

  • The United States cleared indication covers roughly ten findings for triage and notification, far fewer than the model reports, so a buyer who evaluates the full multi-finding output and then contracts in the United States gets a much narrower cleared use.
  • Triage AI reprioritises a worklist but does not change clinical decisions on its own, so departments that do not redesign how urgent studies are picked up see no measurable improvement in time to treatment.
  • Published validation is largely reader study evidence on detection of individual findings; prospective evidence of shorter time to treatment in routine emergency care is thin.
  • The Annalise brand is being migrated under the Harrison.ai name for the critical care offering, which creates ambiguity in multi-year contracts about what product name is actually being supported.
  • A high finding count raises the alert burden, and departments report that low prevalence findings generate false positives that erode radiologist trust unless the alerting thresholds are tuned locally.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Annalise.ai: How many findings are FDA cleared?

Around ten across chest X-ray and head CT, for triage and notification only. The model reports far more findings than that; the rest are not cleared in the United States.

Epocrates: How much does Epocrates cost?

Epocrates pricing information is not available to public access. Users must authenticate or contact the vendor to view pricing details.

Source
Annalise.ai: Is the European position different?

Yes. CE marking under the medical device regulation covers a broader decision support indication than the United States triage and notification clearances, so the same software is a different regulatory product depending on where you deploy it.

Annalise.ai: Does it diagnose?

No. In the United States it is a triage and notification device: it flags studies for earlier review, and the radiologist makes the diagnosis.

Annalise.ai: Is Annalise.ai becoming Harrison.ai?

The critical care offering is now marketed under the Harrison.ai name. Ask the vendor to name the contracted product explicitly before signing a multi-year deal.
