CordialChart vs Platinum Planner

CordialChart vs Platinum Planner.

Platinum Planner is a capable, affordable tracker, and like CordialChart it covers EMR through Paramedic. The real differences are in how students move up the ladder, how preceptors sign, and what it costs. If you are choosing between the two, here is the honest breakdown.

Both cover EMR through Paramedic, offer a mobile app that works offline, and support CoAEMSP competency tracking (Appendix G). The differences: CordialChart keeps one account across every level instead of a separate login per level, lets a preceptor sign on their own device without an account and without logging into a student's account, offers volume and cohort discounts, and is sold one time per student rather than as a recurring subscription. Comparison reflects publicly available information as of 2026; features and pricing change, so confirm current details with Platinum Planner.

Why programs pick CordialChart over Platinum Planner

Where we are genuinely different.

You already get EMR and CoAEMSP tracking from both. These are the reasons a program chooses CordialChart.

One login, EMR to Paramedic

The same account carries a student up every level, keeping all of their history, instead of a new login each time they advance.

Preceptor sign-off, no account

Preceptors sign from their phone with nothing to create and nothing to remember, and never on a student's login.

Lower price, one time

Below Platinum Planner at every level, paid once per student with no annual renewal. See pricing →

Volume & cohort discounts

From 5% at ten students up to 25% at a hundred, set by your program's total seats. Platinum Planner does not offer these.

Charting that looks real

Documentation modeled on a true ePCR, so students graduate already fluent in it. More →
