RadPal vs Rad AI
Both RadPal and Rad AI use generative AI to turn dictated findings into radiology reports and impressions. The biggest differences are how they deploy, who they're built for, and how you buy them.
RadPal
A Windows desktop app built by a practicing radiologist for individual radiologists and small groups. Installs in minutes without admin rights or IT integration, works alongside your existing dictation software, and has transparent flat pricing with a self-serve 14-day free trial.
Rad AI
An enterprise cloud platform focused on health systems and large radiology groups, with PACS/RIS/EHR integrations, a broader product suite (reporting, follow-up management, impressions), and a sales-led purchasing process with custom pricing.
