The short version

  • Only Phreesia has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Phreesia no price is published: the vendor states pricing is customised to organisation size, workflows and products used, and is given only as a tailored quote; Rad AI the products are not FDA cleared devices and are not intended to be, so any claim that Rad AI improves diagnostic accuracy is unsupported; what has been measured is reporting speed and follow-up completion, not detection.

What people use each for

The jobs each tool is most often brought in to do.

Phreesia

  • Digital patient intake and registration ahead of an appointmentnot Rad AI
  • Collecting patient payments as part of the intake workflownot Rad AI
  • Automating clinical screening questionnaires at check-innot Rad AI

Rad AI

  • A private radiology practice whose read volume has grown faster than it can recruit and that wants dictation time per study reduced without changing PACSnot Phreesia
  • A health system losing revenue and exposing itself to liability because recommended follow-up imaging on incidental findings is never bookednot Phreesia
  • A radiology department standardising impression quality across a mixed group of employed and locum radiologistsnot Phreesia
  • A group deploying an AI tool that must not trigger a device validation programme, because governance capacity is already consumed by a triage algorithm rolloutnot Phreesia

Where each one falls short

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

Phreesia

  • No price is published: the vendor states pricing is customised to organisation size, workflows and products used, and is given only as a tailored quote
  • The current free access to the Intake platform is time limited and ends on 31 December 2026, with the rate that follows undisclosed
  • A buyer must book a demo before receiving any figure

Rad AI

  • The products are not FDA cleared devices and are not intended to be, so any claim that Rad AI improves diagnostic accuracy is unsupported; what has been measured is reporting speed and follow-up completion, not detection.
  • Generated impressions require radiologist review and signature, so the time saving evaporates in any group whose radiologists rewrite the draft rather than edit it, and adoption varies sharply by individual.
  • It is bound to your dictation platform, so a group planning to move off PowerScribe should sequence that decision first or expect to redo the Rad AI integration.
  • Continuity depends on the quality of recommendation language in historical reports, and departments with inconsistent phrasing get poor recall until reporting practice is standardised.
  • Pricing is not published and is structured per radiologist or per study depending on the product mix, which makes it hard to compare against image-analysis AI vendors that price per scan.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Phreesia: Is there a free version of Phreesia?

Phreesia offers free access to the complete Phreesia Intake platform through December 31, 2026. Standard subscription pricing begins January 1, 2027, with transparent pricing and no per-message charges or hidden fees.

Source
Rad AI: Is Rad AI FDA cleared?

No, and by design. The products draft text and manage follow-up workflow rather than interpreting images, so they fall outside the device pathway. Treat any diagnostic accuracy claim with scepticism.

Phreesia: How is Phreesia priced?

Phreesia pricing is customized based on organization size, workflows, and products used. The company offers transparent subscription pricing with no per-message charges. Specific pricing requires contacting the company via their demo request form for a tailored quote.

Source
Rad AI: Does the radiologist still sign the report?

Yes. Output is a draft that the radiologist reviews and signs; nothing is released autonomously.

Rad AI: Which product actually pays for itself?

Continuity has the clearest financial case, because recommended follow-up imaging that gets completed is billable work that currently does not happen.

Rad AI: Will it work with our dictation system?

It is deepest with Nuance PowerScribe. Confirm your specific dictation and PACS combination before contracting, because integration depth is the main deployment variable.
