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; 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: Doxy.me covers Video Visits, Sectra covers Sectra IDS7.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

  • Patient Carenot Sectra
  • Medical Recordsnot Sectra
  • Practice Managementnot Sectra
  • Telehealthnot Sectra

Sectra

  • A hospital group digitising histopathology that does not want a second image archive and a second integration project alongside radiologynot Doxy.me
  • A regional health service replacing several departmental PACS with one archive and one clinician viewernot Doxy.me
  • An imaging provider moving off a capital refresh cycle to a cloud subscription with predictable annual costnot Doxy.me
  • A trust that needs to send and receive studies with neighbouring organisations routinely, where the Image Exchange Portal is already the regional normnot 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

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.
