Arc Search vs OpenEvidence

Arc Search is a free browser centered on Browse for Me, which searches multiple pages and produces an answer on a custom webpage. Its built-in blocker is described as stopping ads, trackers, pop-ups, and cookie banners. Other features include reader mode, incognito mode, website translation, and voice search. Inactive tabs are archived automatically, with help documentation listing intervals from 12 hours to 30 days. Browse for Me is the default search option; alternatives include Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, Ecosia, Perplexity, and Kagi. Arc Sync can share desktop Spaces, pinned tabs, and Today tabs with Arc Search on iOS, but is unavailable on Android, and tabs created in Arc Search do not sync back to desktop. The maker says Browse for Me sends command-bar and search-result content to OpenAI to generate summaries. Arc Search supports iOS 16 or later and Android 10 or later. The maker also says Sync sidebar data uses end-to-end encryption, but the product is not currently SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certified and does not offer account MFA.

OpenEvidence is a medical information platform for clinical questions, available on the web, iOS and Android. Its answers include inline citations, while EvidenceGrade shows the strength of cited evidence beneath an AI answer. The app listing describes access to more than 35 million peer-reviewed papers, over 300 medical journals, and FDA and CDC sources. Named partners or collaborators include NEJM, JAMA and its specialty journals, NCCN, Nature and Cochrane; NCCN material includes treatment algorithms. Clinicians can earn CME and MOC credits by asking questions. Additional listed tools include ambient documentation, secure patient calls through Dialer and hands-free Voice Mode. OpenEvidence’s Trust Center lists SOC 2 Type 2 and HIPAA certifications. Access requires healthcare-professional status verification, and the free plan is for verified U.S. healthcare professionals. The product page says medical professionals use it at more than 10,000 U.S. care centers. Support is available at [email protected].
