Pros & cons
Heidi Health
Pros
- Best-in-class template system — the Template Community lets verified clinicians publish and share templates; thousands of community-built Notes, Forms and Documents
- 110 supported languages across 116 countries — broadest reach in the field
- Real, usable free plan (not a 7-day teaser)
- Heidi Evidence — separate clinical Q&A surface with sourced citations for between-patient lookups
Watch-outs

- 2026 price increase from ~$90/mo to $150/mo billed annually
Tandem Health
Pros
- Most credentialed compliance stack in our catalog: CE Mark + UKCA + GDPR + ISO 27001 + 13485 + 42001 + 14001 + NEN 7510 + NHS Compliant
- All data stored and processed within EU data centers
- Explicit "your data is never used to train AI" position
- Real free tier — €0/user/mo with unlimited notes
Watch-outs
- Note quality is the headline weakness in our hands-on testing — hallucinations appear more often than from the precision-focused leaders
- Europe-focused — no HIPAA, no US deployment footprint
- Direct EHR integration is largely 1-click transfer rather than deep embed
