Bottom line

Pick Serif Health if you need cleaned payer rate benchmarks from transparency files for contract negotiation or network design, with published entry pricing and no IT project.
Pick Trilliant Health if you need defensible market, rate, and demand data for strategy decisions rather than workflow automation.

Payer rate intelligence from transparency files

What it does

Where it's strong

API-first design makes it the practical choice when you want negotiated-rate data inside your own product rather than another dashboard.
Serves 300+ companies across employers, providers, plans, and brokers, and completed a SOC 2 Type II audit.
A small engineering-led team tends to move fast on custom data pulls, which customer testimonials repeatedly credit.

What buyers should weigh

A seed-stage company with about $2.5M raised carries real vendor viability risk for anything mission critical.
It sells data infrastructure, not workflow software, so you need your own analysts or engineers to get value.
It competes directly with the much better funded Turquoise Health; the bet is that its price and API depth outweigh the resource gap.

Market, demand, and rate analytics for healthcare strategy teams

What it does

Where it's strong

Research-forward brand: its annual health economy trends report and Similarity Index give buyers evidence they can take to a board, not just dashboards.
National all-payer scope supports demand forecasting, network design, and rate benchmarking from one dataset.
Duke Health's 2025 enterprise collaboration is a strong reference for growth planning and access use cases.

What buyers should weigh

It informs strategy rather than running operations; it will not touch your revenue cycle or contract workflows directly.
Negotiated-rate data across the industry still has quality gaps from inconsistent payer transparency files, so validate rate benchmarks against your own contracts.
Fewer publicly named customers than older analytics rivals like Sg2 or Definitive Healthcare, so ask for references in your segment.
