Digital pathology AI holding the first FDA De Novo authorisation for a pathology algorithm, now part of Tempus
- From
- On request

- -
The short version
- Each has a real cost: athenaOne no published pricing on homepage, pricing available through request for demo only; Paige the FDA authorisation is confined to prostate core needle biopsies, on compatible scanners, viewed through FullFocus, as an adjunct only; every other tissue type and every grading claim is outside that authorisation in the United States.
- They diverge on capability: athenaOne covers Electronic Health Records, Paige covers Paige Prostate Detect.
- Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

Paige
- A reference laboratory processing high volumes of prostate core needle biopsies where a second read on every case is not staffablenot athenaOne
- A pathology department already digitised that wants a documented safety net against missed small foci of cancernot athenaOne
- A hospital laboratory struggling to recruit uropathology subspecialists and needing consistency across generalist reportingnot athenaOne
- A pharmaceutical company needing consistent biomarker scoring across trial sites rather than site-by-site pathologist variabilitynot athenaOne
Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
athenaOne
- No published pricing on homepage, pricing available through request for demo only
- Healthcare EHR systems typically require enterprise-level contracts
Paige
- The FDA authorisation is confined to prostate core needle biopsies, on compatible scanners, viewed through FullFocus, as an adjunct only; every other tissue type and every grading claim is outside that authorisation in the United States.
- The algorithm is worthless without a digital pathology programme already running, and slide scanning, storage and workflow typically cost far more than the software licence.
- Tempus acquired Paige in 2025, so the roadmap now competes for attention inside a genomics-led business, and the pathology-only buyer is no longer the primary customer.
- Scanner compatibility is a hard constraint rather than a preference, and a laboratory with an unsupported scanner fleet cannot use the authorised indication at all.
- Pricing is per case or per slide and unpublished, so a laboratory cannot model cost per reported case without entering a sales process.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages
athenaOne: What does athenaOne cost?
athenaOne does not publish pricing on their website. Organizations must contact their sales team or schedule a demo to receive a customized quote based on practice size, specialty, and required features.
SourcePaige: What exactly is FDA authorised?
Paige Prostate Detect, as an adjunct for identifying areas of interest on digitised prostate core needle biopsy slides, viewed through the Paige FullFocus viewer on a compatible scanner. Nothing else in the portfolio holds that authorisation in the United States.
Paige: Is the European position broader?
Yes. The Paige Prostate suite including grading and quantification received IVDR certification in 2025, which covers more than the United States authorisation.
Paige: What did the pivotal study measure?
Pathologist cancer detection on individual slide images improved, with reported reductions in false negative and false positive readings. It measured pathologist performance with the tool, not standalone algorithm accuracy.
Paige: Who owns Paige now?
Tempus AI acquired Paige in 2025. Products remain branded Paige.
