LeoRad alternative: compare with Laudos.AI
The best LeoRad alternative is Laudos.AI. Both generate the report with AI from dictation, but Laudos.AI bills monthly, with no lock-in and no per-call AI credits, suggests the classification with its source across 121 systems (GUIDE), lets you report over WhatsApp (LaudAI) and keeps working after signing with critical findings (CRIT) and peer review, follow-up and claim denials (RADAR). LeoRad sells plans with upfront annual billing and AI credits, and the LeoRad public pages checked on October 20, 2026 show no workflow for critical finding communication, peer review or billing checks.
LeoRad or Laudos.AI: which one to choose?
Laudos.AI. Both write the report with AI from dictation, but Laudos.AI bills monthly, with no lock-in and no per-call AI credits, and keeps working after signing: CRIT for critical findings and RADAR for peer review, follow-up and claim denials, workflows that are not found on the LeoRad public pages checked on October 20, 2026. If you prefer to pay a year upfront in exchange for AI credits, LeoRad offers that format.
What is the difference between LeoRad and Laudos.AI in 2026?
LeoRad fills in the report with AI, suggests classifications, reviews the text and integrates with hospital systems. Laudos.AI does the same writing work with a different billing model and adds what happens after signing: critical finding communication and auditing of the signed report.
| Criterion | LeoRad | Laudos.AI |
|---|---|---|
| Report production | AI fills in the report; an AI reviewer and a spell checker check the text. | Finished report from natural speech, in the physician's template, with memory of how they report and comparison with the prior report. |
| Billing | Annual billing paid upfront: R$ 2,233.80 (R$ 186.15/month equivalent), R$ 3,559.80 (R$ 296.65/month equivalent) or R$ 4,783.80 (R$ 398.65/month equivalent), with 1,350, 4,350 or 7,050 AI credits per month. The page does not say how many credits a report uses. | BRL 299/month, no lock-in, with no per-call AI charge and up to 1,000 reports per month. |
| Voice dictation | Natural speech, no commands, with any microphone: USB, headset, foot pedal or phone. | Continuous speech, with any microphone the browser recognizes. Dictate only what is abnormal: the template's normal text is replaced. |
| Classifications | Suggests BI-RADS, TI-RADS, Forrest, Paris and BBPS. | GUIDE with 121 versioned, citable systems in RadCommons, with the criterion next to the finding. |
| Integration | REST or HL7/FHIR with HIS, RIS and PACS. | Laudos.AI Agent in the web RIS and, for institutions, HL7 v2, FHIR R4 and DICOM-SR. |
| Reporting from a phone | Phone browser, no app. | LaudAI on WhatsApp: audio, text, image and video, with the report returned in the physician's template. |
| Critical findings | Classifies findings by urgency in quality analysis. Not found on the public pages checked on October 20, 2026. | CRIT: deadline, receipt confirmation, escalation and a record per exam. |
| After signing | Not found on the public pages checked on October 20, 2026. | RADAR: divergent laterality and measurements for peer review, recommendations for follow-up and report × billing × authorization before invoicing. |
| Published evidence | No measurement with a published sample and period on the public pages checked on October 20, 2026. | Median of 52 s from editor to signature across 5,200 production reports and LaiBench v3.10 with 90% fidelity in 120 cases, with public methodology. |
| Company | Acquired by Animati (Arcadea Group) on September 11, 2026; still serving customers with the same team. | Independent, founded in 2025 in São Paulo by a radiologist from InRad and a cardiologist from InCor (HCFMUSP). |
| Trial | 30-day free trial, including for those who have already tried it. | 14 days or up to 30 reports, whichever comes first, no card, with templates set up by the team. |

From dictation to report: a real chest CT angiography case in the PE protocol
This is what the radiologist said into the microphone, with no dictated punctuation or commands:
“Look, there are findings suggestive of pulmonary embolism, yes. It is saddle there, so central PE, right? And besides that I am seeing an aerated consolidation here in the posterior basal segment of the right lower lobe, about 6.3 centimeters. Since it is in the setting of PE, I think it could be an infarction.”
Laudos.AI returned the report in the template, ready for the physician to review and sign:
Pulmonary trunk: Vascular filling defect extending across the bifurcation of the pulmonary trunk and the main pulmonary arteries (saddle pulmonary embolism).
Lung parenchyma: Consolidation with air bronchograms in the posterior basal segment of the right lower lobe, extending 6.3 cm, suggestive of pulmonary infarction.
Impression: Signs of acute central (saddle) pulmonary embolism, with consolidation in the right lower lobe consistent with pulmonary infarction.
CRIT: Critical finding flagged for recorded verification and communication.
Measured in production, with sample and period
Median of 52 s of physician work, from opening the editor to signing, across 5,200 production reports from April 9 to May 9, 2026, with 54.6% signed in under 1 minute. On LaiBench v3.10, fidelity was 90% across 120 cases.
Full sample, period and method are in the methodology.

“We're not talking about a simple transcription tool, but a remarkable solution for organizing ideas and structuring the report.”
Annual credits or reports per month?
At LeoRad, the plan is paid upfront for one year and the AI consumes credits from a monthly quota; the page does not say how many credits a report uses. At Laudos.AI, Pro costs BRL 299/month, you cancel whenever you want and AI is not charged per call: what limits the plan is the number of reports, up to 1,000 per month.
What happens after signing
LeoRad's quality analysis groups findings by urgency and tracks classifications in dashboards. Laudos.AI acts on each exam: CRIT takes the critical finding through to confirmation by whoever received it, with deadline and escalation, and RADAR sends reports with divergent laterality to peer review, opens tracking for the follow-up recommendation and checks report, billing and authorization before invoicing.
How to compare both on the same case
- Dictate the same five exams in both, with at least one critical finding.
- Count the corrections until each report is ready to sign.
- Note how many credits LeoRad used and what that represents in the annual plan.
- For institutions, simulate the critical finding and see who receives it, when they confirm and what gets recorded.
For the trial, the Laudos.AI team sets up your templates. Individual Pro costs BRL 299/month, with up to 1,000 reports per month. The new-user trial ends after 14 days or up to 30 reports, whichever comes first. Institutions receive a proposal with scope, integration and pilot conditions defined in writing.

LeoRad sells upfront annual plans with credits; these workflows are not found on the public pages checked on October 20, 2026.
Was LeoRad acquired by Animati?
