The short version

  • Each has a real cost: TheraNest the Essentials plan includes no insurance claims at all, so any practice that bills a payer is effectively on the 59 USD tier or above and the advertised 29 USD entry price does not apply to it.; Visage Imaging pricing is per exam against a minimum annual volume, so an organisation whose imaging activity is flat pays a floor while a growing one sees the software line rise every year rather than amortise.
  • They diverge on capability: TheraNest covers Progress notes and treatment plans, Visage Imaging covers Server-side rendering.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

What people use each for

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

TheraNest

  • A solo therapist who needs a HIPAA aligned note and scheduling system and does not bill insurance, where the 29 USD entry tier is genuinely sufficientnot Visage Imaging
  • A group practice of six to twenty clinicians that wants per clinician productivity and payroll reporting without buying a separate practice management layernot Visage Imaging
  • A practice moving off paper or a general purpose calendar that needs a client portal for intake forms and consent signaturesnot Visage Imaging
  • A behavioural health organisation that bills a steady volume of insurance claims each month and can size the Advanced allowance against its actual claim countnot Visage Imaging

Visage Imaging

  • An academic health system whose radiologists read from home and cannot tolerate a thousand slice CT taking minutes to opennot TheraNest
  • A breast imaging service moving to tomosynthesis where study sizes have made the existing PACS unusable at volumenot TheraNest
  • A teleradiology group covering many client sites that needs one viewer rather than a client-specific workstation per contractnot TheraNest
  • A health system mid migration that needs priors from three legacy archives assembled into one patient jacket before the data move finishesnot TheraNest

Where each one falls short

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

TheraNest

  • The Essentials plan includes no insurance claims at all, so any practice that bills a payer is effectively on the 59 USD tier or above and the advertised 29 USD entry price does not apply to it.
  • Telehealth is only in the Premier plan, so a practice that wants video sessions pays 89 USD per therapist per month even if it needs nothing else from that tier.
  • An annual AMA CPT licence fee is billed separately each December on top of subscription cost, which surprises practices that budgeted only the monthly figure.
  • Additional administrative users are chargeable, so a practice with front desk and billing staff who never see clients still pays 19 to 29 USD per head for people who generate no revenue.
  • The product sits inside a consolidated portfolio that has already renamed the parent company from Therapy Brands to Ensora Health, and product investment in a portfolio is directed by the owner rather than by this product line, so roadmap commitments are worth less than they would be from a single product vendor.

Visage Imaging

  • Pricing is per exam against a minimum annual volume, so an organisation whose imaging activity is flat pays a floor while a growing one sees the software line rise every year rather than amortise.
  • Module breadth outside radiology is narrower than at Sectra or the large modality vendors, so a group planning to digitise pathology on the same platform will not find it here.
  • Server-side rendering shifts the cost to central infrastructure, so the saving on radiologist workstations is partly offset by what you spend on servers or cloud compute.
  • Pro Medicus concentrates on very large contracts, and smaller imaging groups report long sales cycles and little appetite from the vendor for deals below a certain volume.
  • Diagnostic AI is third party, surfaced through the accelerator framework rather than developed in house, so algorithm licensing, validation and monitoring remain the buyer problem.

Visage Imaging: Who owns Visage Imaging?

Pro Medicus Limited, listed on the Australian Securities Exchange. That listing means major contract values and terms are publicly announced.

No. Essentials includes no claims. Advanced includes 30 claims a month and Premier is unlimited.

Visage Imaging: How is Visage priced?

Per exam, against a minimum annual volume, on multi-year terms. Because Pro Medicus discloses large contract totals and durations to the market, buyers can estimate a per exam rate before entering negotiation.

Visage Imaging: Is Visage 7 FDA cleared for diagnostic interpretation?

Yes, with per clinician reporting and payroll figures, though every clinician and every admin is a paid seat.
