| xCures | Metriport | |
| Data Access & Integration | Retrieves records through TEFCA, QHINs, and other HIEs, plus customer-provided data | Open-source universal API connecting to CommonWell, Carequality, eHealth Exchange, plus pharmacy, lab, and ADT networks, reports access to 300M+ patient records nationwide |
| Structured + Unstructured Records | Structures all record types, FHIR, CCDAs, PDFs, scans, faxes, and images | FHIR R4 native, converts C-CDA, HL7 v2, and PDF into FHIR JSON, also outputs human-readable Medical Record Summary PDFs, deep unstructured text extraction beyond basic parsing not confirmed in public docs |
| Specialty-Specific Customization | Custom, configurable clinical checklists by role, specialty, and use case, returns only the data points needed | General-purpose harmonization engine and data warehouse, some AI summaries and HEDIS® care gap flags referenced, no public documentation of configurable role or specialty-specific checklists |
| Ready-to-Use Patient Data | Delivers decision-ready outputs directly, no build required on the customer side | Delivers a unified FHIR data layer and AI summaries, customer builds specialty-specific applications and decision logic on top |
| Data Traceability | Every fact links back to its exact source document, open it in one click | No fact-by-fact source link documented |
| Data Accuracy | Our extractors are validated against clinician review, with 97-99% precision and recall across checklists in a retrospective study* | No accuracy or validation study published |
| Developer Experience & APIs | Structured outputs via REST API and Developer Toolkit, with dashboards and export/sync options | Open-source TypeScript and Python SDKs, OpenAPI spec, public docs, and sandbox environment, strong developer-first positioning |
| Native EHR Distribution | Integrates clinical outputs into major EHRs and existing customer systems | Turnkey EHR connections referenced as part of the platform, specific EHR footprint or native embed details not detailed publicly |
| Pricing | Consumption-based, low commitment start with volume discounts as usage grows | Pricing not publicly disclosed, third-party listings cite low usage-based per-unit costs but the official pricing page does not publish rates |
| Time to Get Started | Try-before-you-scale model, 3-month platform access fee covering up to 1,000 patient-record requests, includes onboarding and network setup | Requires requesting production API access via an intro call, no fixed public trial timeline identified |

What's different
Metriport gives you an open-source data pipeline. xCures gives you the decision layer built on top, ready to use.
Metriport is built for teams that want to build their own decision layer on top of a unified FHIR data feed. xCures is built for teams that want that layer already built, decision-ready checklists instead of a data pipeline to develop against. EHRs store data, interoperability platforms move it, AI tools organize it, none deliver Clinical Clarity.
