Benchling vs Doxy.me

About

Doxy.me was founded in 2013 by Brandon Welch in Hawaii with a mission to make telehealth accessible to every clinician and patient, regardless of technical sophistication or budget. The platform was built as a browser-based, zero-download video conferencing solution designed specifically for healthcare — requiring no app installation for patients and offering HIPAA-compliant video sessions out of the box. This simplicity-first approach drove grassroots adoption among solo practitioners and small clinics.\n\nDoxy.me's platform provides HIPAA-compliant video visits, virtual waiting rooms, patient intake forms, group rooms, and integrations with major EHR and practice management systems. Its free tier has been instrumental in driving adoption among independent clinicians who need compliant telehealth without enterprise procurement cycles. Premium tiers add advanced features including custom branding, staff accounts, and analytics. In 2025, Doxy.me acquired Telehealth.org and the TeleMental Health Institute, expanding its educational resources and professional training offerings.\n\nDoxy.me has grown to serve 1M+ clinicians across 150+ countries, with 250,000 active providers using the platform regularly. The company reported $50.2M in annual revenue and was recognized on TIME's HealthTech 2025 list. Its combination of clinical accessibility, global reach, and a freemium model that converts at scale positions Doxy.me as a foundational layer of the global telehealth infrastructure — particularly for solo and small-group practices that larger enterprise platforms overlook.
