The short version

  • Only Doxy.me has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Doxy.me free plan restricted to one-on-one sessions, limiting utility for group therapy or multi-specialist consultations; PathAI aISight is labelled research use only and cannot be used for primary diagnosis; only AISight Dx carries the FDA clearance and CE-IVD mark, and laboratories regularly buy the wrong configuration and discover they cannot sign out on it.
  • They diverge on capability: Doxy.me covers Video Visits, PathAI covers AISight image management.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

PathAI

  • An academic medical centre going digital for primary diagnosis that needs the FDA cleared AISight Dx configuration rather than the research labelled versionnot Doxy.me
  • A reference laboratory consolidating subspecialty sign out across sites so a specialist pathologist can read cases from any locationnot Doxy.me
  • A pharmaceutical company needing consistent quantitative scoring of trial biopsies across many sites and readersnot Doxy.me
  • A laboratory with a mixed scanner estate that needs one image management layer rather than each scanner vendor viewernot Doxy.me

Where each one falls short

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

Doxy.me

  • Free plan restricted to one-on-one sessions, limiting utility for group therapy or multi-specialist consultations
  • Occasional connection glitches and dropped sessions reported by some users
  • Poor video quality and lag in rural or low-bandwidth areas

PathAI

  • AISight is labelled research use only and cannot be used for primary diagnosis; only AISight Dx carries the FDA clearance and CE-IVD mark, and laboratories regularly buy the wrong configuration and discover they cannot sign out on it.
  • The software licence is usually the smallest line in a digital pathology project, behind scanners, storage and network capacity, so a business case built around the software cost understates the real investment by a wide margin.
  • Whole slide images are very large, so a laboratory that does not model storage growth and retention policy from the start faces storage costs that grow faster than case volume and dominate the renewal.
  • Clinical validation is required per subspecialty rather than once for the platform, which means dermatopathology, gastrointestinal and breast each need their own concordance study and pathologist time before go live.
  • PathAI competes against pathology incumbents that also sell the scanners, and a laboratory buying an independent image management layer takes on the integration risk between scanner vendor and software vendor itself.

PathAI: What is the difference between AISight and AISight Dx?

AISight is for research use only and not for clinical diagnostic use. AISight Dx received FDA 510(k) clearance in June 2025 for primary diagnosis and is CE-IVD marked in the EEA, UK and Switzerland. Only the Dx configuration can be used to sign out cases.

Doxy.me: Does the free plan include all features?

The free Doxy.me plan includes unlimited call minutes and HIPAA compliance. Advanced features like group calls, HD video, and screen sharing require paid plans.

Source
PathAI: Can we use our existing scanners?

Yes. AISight is designed to ingest images from multiple whole slide scanner vendors, which is one of the main reasons laboratories choose an independent image management layer.

Doxy.me: Do patients need to create an account to join a session?

No, Doxy.me allows you to offer secure sessions without requiring clients to create accounts, with a customizable waiting room experience.

Source
PathAI: Do the AI algorithms carry the same clearance as the platform?

Yes, Doxy.me is HIPAA compliant with a signed Business Associate Agreement, available on both free and paid plans.

Source
PathAI: Is pricing published?
