EDI2XML vs Stedi

EDI2XML converts X12 EDI messages to XML or JSON and converts those formats back to EDI. Its REST API detects whether an incoming message is X12, XML, or JSON; version 2.0 can return a 997 Functional Acknowledgment in the API response. API access uses OAuth2 authorization, with refresh tokens generating access tokens valid for one hour. Subscribers receive a Java client, sample EDI and XML files, and XML schema files. The product is offered as an on-premises service, a Web Service, or a fully managed EDI service. On-premises support includes ASC X12, EDIFACT, and HIPAA/X12; the broader supported-standards list also includes TRADACOMS. The managed service covers mapping, trading-partner configuration, standards maintenance, translation, and document exchange on EDI2XML’s private cloud. It can connect to ERP applications through certified connectors, while the company also offers connections between Amazon, Shopify, and BigCommerce stores and back-end systems. The on-premises plan costs $450 per month; a 15-day trial is available.

Stedi is a cloud-based healthcare clearinghouse and revenue cycle management engine whose functionality is available through APIs. It supports real-time and batch eligibility checks from its portal or API, along with professional, institutional, and dental claims, claim-status checks, acknowledgments, and electronic remittance advice. Its EDI platform generates and delivers transactions through API requests, with transforms, webhooks, retries, rate limiting, and separate environments. Prebuilt Stedi Apps connect with third-party revenue cycle management, practice management, and EHR systems. Stedi says it connects to more than 3,500 U.S. healthcare payers, including Medicare, Medicaid, medical, and dental payers. Listed standards include X12 and EDIFACT; integration methods include REST API, webhooks, SFTP, FTPS, FTP, and AS2. Security credentials and controls listed include HIPAA compliance, HITRUST certification, SOC 2 compliance, role-based access, and built-in multi-factor authentication. Free Sandbox accounts provide mock eligibility checks and test API keys, but cannot submit test claims through API or SFTP. Production transactions require production API keys.
