PaceMate vs VisualDx
VisualDx prints its prices and PaceMate prints none. Elite for clinicians is $299.99 per year, billed annually, and Core, the education tier, is $249.99 per year, billed annually. Groups of two to five users and enterprises are told to ask for a quote. PaceMate's pricing page lists four tiers, Software, Flexible, Premium and Elite, and shows no amount on any of them.
Neither vendor's pages claim FDA clearance.
The two have no shared buyer. A primary care physician who sees rashes, or a dermatology group, buys VisualDx for a differential builder with 50,000+ clinical images across skin tones and body sites. Its homepage promises integration with "major EHRs" and names none. An electrophysiology clinic running remote monitoring of cardiac implants buys PaceMate. The vendor says it works with 14 OEM-integrated device manufacturers, with Medtronic SessionSync named, and has bi-directional links to Epic and Oracle Health.
