Brainomix vs Butterfly Network
A clinician who wants point-of-care ultrasound at the bedside buys Butterfly. The iQ3 probe is $3,899 with a three-year warranty, Core membership is $299 a year and Advanced is $420 a year, each membership plus a probe. The page shows every price with a dollar sign only, currency not stated. Advanced adds the Auto Bladder Volume and Auto B-Line Counter tools, and organization tiers are inquire-only. Its FDA record includes the Auto 3D Bladder Volume Tool (K200980, June 2020) and Gestational Age Tool (K252148, March 2026), and its SOC 2 Type 2 attestation covers the iQ+ ecosystem.
A stroke program or stroke network buys Brainomix, a bedside clinician and a stroke service being different customers. Its openFDA record includes e-ASPECTS scoring, e-CTA and e-MRI. Results return to PACS as annotated DICOM series or PDF reports, and the vendor says it is ISO 27001 certified. Brainomix pricing runs through a demo request.
