The honest brief
Ada
Triages against a physician-built medical knowledge base rather than a general LLM, and it's free.
- Free to use
- Physician-built knowledge base, not a raw LLM
- Structured Q&A with urgency guidance
- Mobile and web apps
- Triage aid only, not a diagnosis
- Consumer-facing, no clinical integration
- Possible-cause output can over- or under-flag
K Health
Pairs AI symptom intake with a licensed clinician who reviews every case, unlike pure-AI symptom checkers.
- Clinician reviews every AI-surfaced case
- AI trained on millions of clinical records
- Primary care plus mental health
- Direct-pay, transparent per-visit pricing
- US-only telehealth
- Not a substitute for in-person care
- Subscription plus per-visit costs add up
- Symptom checker can mislead without context
