OpenTalk vs VSee

OpenTalk is a browser-based video conferencing service available as a hosted service or for installation in a customer's data center. It runs in common browsers without local software, although Safari on Apple devices has functional limitations. Meetings can use breakout rooms and sub-room conversations, with multiple moderators, a whiteboard, meeting minutes, polls and surveys. Open and secret voting are supported, with results documented. Participants can join by phone for audio-only access, and OpenTalk can connect to in-house phone systems or external SIP providers. Open APIs support integrations, and Keycloak is an identified single sign-on option. Its on-premises APIs cover user and room provisioning, configuration, metrics and reporting. OpenTalk describes itself as open source and GDPR-compliant, and reports receiving the German Federal Office for Information Security IT security label for video conferencing services. Starter is free, with up to five participants and 30-minute calls, but no recording. Standard is $7.50 a month per user, excluding VAT; Premium is $12.50 a month per user, excluding VAT. Both paid plans include recording.

VSee provides configurable telehealth software and workflows for healthcare organizations and clinicians. Virtual visits can use video, phone, or chat, either synchronously or asynchronously, and support screen sharing, group calls, and file transfer.

Remote patient monitoring supports Bluetooth and cellular devices, threshold alerts, and escalation to video visits. Enterprise integrations include Epic, Oracle Health (Cerner), Athenahealth, NextGen, and PointClickCare. VSee also describes EHR video launch, two-way scheduling, note exchange, and HIE access to records. It runs on web, Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android.
