ClinicOS vs Crisalix
Crisalix helped pioneer 3D surgical simulation. But if you're evaluating simulation software in 2026, the real question isn't just how the result looks — it's where your patient ends up, and who owns the lead.
| ClinicOS | Crisalix | |
|---|---|---|
| Where the patient experience lives | Your website — the simulation runs embedded on your own pages | Crisalix's platform and patient portal |
| Who captures the lead | You. Every simulation ends in a lead form that goes to your inbox / CRM | Contact details flow through Crisalix's system first |
| What the patient needs to provide | One regular photo, taken on any phone | 3D reconstruction from multiple photos or a scan |
| Patient account required | No account, no app — it works in the browser on your site | Patients typically view results through a Crisalix portal account |
| Simulation style | Photo-realistic AI results built from thousands of real surgical outcomes | 3D avatar / mesh-style visualization |
| In-consult use | iPad app for live consultations, plus the website widget for lead capture | Desktop / VR-oriented consultation tools |
| Getting started | Free tier, no card — embed the widget in an afternoon | Contact sales |
“I don't like that they transfer the leads onto their own platform. With ClinicOS the patient stays on oursite.”

Your site. Your leads.
The patient never leaves your website
The simulation runs embedded on your pages. Your brand, your domain, your traffic — including the ad traffic you paid for.
One photo, zero friction
No 3D capture session, no portal signup. A patient uploads one phone photo and sees a photo-realistic result in seconds — so far more of them finish.
Every simulation is a captured lead
Contact details land in your inbox and CRM the moment the patient requests their result. Nothing routes through anyone else's platform first.
Frequently asked questions
What is the main difference between ClinicOS and Crisalix?
The biggest difference is where your patient ends up. ClinicOS runs the simulation directly on your clinic's website and every lead lands in your inbox. Crisalix's experience runs through its own platform and patient portal. ClinicOS is also photo-based: patients upload one normal photo instead of going through a 3D capture flow.
Do patients need to create an account to see a ClinicOS simulation?
No. Patients upload a photo on your website, see a photo-realistic result in seconds, and leave their contact details with you — no third-party account, portal, or app.
Does ClinicOS require a 3D scanner or special photos?
No scanner and no special setup. ClinicOS generates simulations from a single standard photo taken on any phone, which means far fewer patients drop out before seeing a result.
Can I try ClinicOS before paying?
Yes — there's a free tier with no card required. You can embed the lead-capture widget on your site and run simulations on the iPad app the same day.
Why do clinics switch from Crisalix to ClinicOS?
The most common reason clinics tell us: lead ownership. They want the patient to stay on their own website and the inquiry to land in their own CRM, rather than routing patients through a third-party platform. The single-photo experience and photo-realistic results are the other two.
