FISDAP and Platinum Planner are capable, well-established tools, and plenty of programs run well on them. CordialChart is for programs that want something simpler and more affordable that covers the whole ladder, EMR included. Here are the differences that matter.
| CordialChart | FISDAP | Platinum | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Covers EMR | ✓ | — | ✓ |
| EMT · AEMT · Paramedic | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| One account across all levels | ✓ | — | — |
| CoAEMSP / Appendix G tracking | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Mobile app, works offline | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Preceptor signs with no login & no student account | ✓ | — | — |
| Volume / cohort discounts | ✓ | — | — |
| Lowest price per level | ✓ | — | — |
All three cover EMT through Paramedic, offer a mobile app, and support CoAEMSP competency tracking (Appendix G). FISDAP does not currently offer an EMR tracker; Platinum Planner does. On CordialChart a preceptor signs on their own device without an account and without logging into a student's account, so the signature is tied to the preceptor rather than borrowed from the student. Comparison reflects publicly available information as of 2026; features and pricing change, so confirm current details with each vendor.
Beyond the basics every tracker shares, these are the things CordialChart is built around.
The same account carries a student up every level, keeping all of their history, with EMR included.
Documentation modeled on a true ePCR, so students graduate already fluent in it. More →
Read-back, named-sender, nothing deleted, and the thread exports. Chat built for a program.
Preceptors sign from their phone with nothing to create and nothing to remember.
Installs like an app and keeps working in the ambulance or the ED basement.
Appendix G fills from the charting, with a live ready-to-graduate verdict. More →
One-time per student, with volume discounts the others don't offer.
A live walkthrough beats any comparison table.
