The short version
- Only Figure 1 has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
- They diverge on capability: Figure 1 covers Case Sharing, Lunit covers Lunit INSIGHT MMG.
- Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.
Where they differ

Lunit
- A national breast screening programme evaluating AI as a second reader to reduce double reading workload where two human readers are currently mandatednot Figure 1
- A breast centre that moved to tomosynthesis and now has reading times it cannot staff, wanting detection support on DBT specificallynot Figure 1
- An American breast imaging centre needing automated volumetric density assessment to meet patient density notification requirements, which is what Volpara is bought fornot Figure 1
- A tuberculosis or lung screening programme in a high volume, radiologist scarce setting using chest radiography triage to prioritise filmsnot Figure 1
Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Nothing recorded yet. See the Figure 1 review.
Lunit
- The regulatory permission differs by product and by region, and INSIGHT Risk has been filed with the FDA but not cleared, so a buyer who reads a corporate press release rather than the specific clearance for their product and jurisdiction will plan a deployment they cannot legally run.
- Detection AI changes recall rates in screening, and the downstream cost of additional diagnostic workup lands on the programme rather than on the software budget, which is the cost most screening business cases omit.
- Performance is sensitive to the mammography vendor and acquisition protocol, so published results from a Hologic estate do not transfer to a GE or Siemens estate without local validation the buyer must fund.
- MMG, DBT and CXR are licensed separately and Volpara modules are separate again, so a breast centre wanting detection, density and risk pathways is assembling four line items rather than buying one product.
- Using AI as a replacement for one of two human readers is a workforce and liability decision that regulators and professional bodies treat differently in each country, so the saving that justifies the purchase may not be permitted where you operate.

Questions people ask
- Is Figure 1 or Lunit better?
- Neither clearly leads. Figure 1 starts at Free and Lunit at On request, and user ratings are close enough to be indistinguishable. Choose on capability and platform support.
- Which is cheaper, Figure 1 or Lunit?
- Figure 1 has a free tier; the other does not. Paid plans start at Free for Figure 1 and On request for Lunit.
- Does Figure 1 or Lunit run on more platforms?
- Figure 1 runs on Web, Mobile. Lunit runs on Web.
- Can I use Figure 1 for free?
- Yes. Figure 1 has a free tier, so you can try it without paying. Lunit starts at On request.
- What is Figure 1 best used for?
- Figure 1 is most often used for patient care, medical records, practice management, telehealth. Of those, patient care and medical records are not what Lunit is typically brought in for.
- What can Figure 1 do that Lunit cannot?
- Figure 1 covers Case Sharing, Secure Messaging, Image Upload, Knowledge Discovery. Lunit covers Lunit INSIGHT MMG, Lunit INSIGHT DBT, Lunit INSIGHT CXR, Volpara density assessment.
Answered from the vendors’ own pages
Lunit: Is Lunit FDA cleared?
Yes for specific products. INSIGHT MMG, INSIGHT DBT and INSIGHT CXR Triage hold FDA 510(k) clearances. INSIGHT Risk, the five year risk prediction model, has been filed but was not cleared at the time of writing.
Lunit: Can Lunit replace a second human reader in screening?
That depends entirely on your jurisdiction and professional body guidance, not on the software. The CE mark permits clinical use; it does not authorise a workforce model.
Lunit: What did the Volpara acquisition add?
Volumetric breast density measurement, dose tracking and RiskPathways high risk programme management, which are the things American breast centres buy for density notification compliance rather than for detection.
Lunit: Is pricing published?
No. It is quoted per study or per annual volume, by product, with on premises and cloud priced differently.
