In brief
OpenDoc and Cloda both give UK care staff AI answers drawn from approved policies, on their phones and in their own language. They differ in where the policies come from, how changes in guidance reach you, which formats each supports, and how you pay.
OpenDoc was built from 2025 with AI at its core. It has 500+ policies, each showing its named author and signed off by at least three of more than 100 named experts. It alerts services when CQC, NICE or Care Act guidance changes, compares every version side by side, and answers staff by text or by voice in 51 languages. It has a free plan, and an Organisation plan at £70 + VAT a month per service with no long-term contract.
Cloda, from Health Care Informed, is a quality management system with four parts: the Cloda AI assistant, The Library, The Training Room and The Evaluation Station. It offers over 70 policy templates for older people’s services, manages a provider’s own PDF policies, and adds comprehension quizzes, micro-learning, training management and audits. Its pages do not publish a price or describe monitoring of external guidance.
Interest declared. Health Connect Global Ltd publishes this page and makes OpenDoc, so read it as a comparison by one of the providers. Every statement about Cloda comes from its own public pages, listed at the end. Where a point is not stated there, this page says “None found” and does not guess.

Cloda’s Library holds policies as uploaded PDFs, and its FAQ says PDFs are the supported format. OpenDoc accepts policies as PDFs or photos, rewrites them into a consistent template, fills in the service’s own details, and lets staff ask about them by text or voice.
A PDF is a fixed document. It can be read, filed and acknowledged, but it cannot be edited in place or compared with an earlier version without being rewritten. Cloda’s pages describe uploading, distributing, acknowledging and archiving PDFs. They do not describe editing or comparing them.
Both providers say experts are involved. The difference is what a care service can see. In OpenDoc, every policy shows the named expert who wrote it, each expert has a public profile listing their qualifications and experience, and at least three experts sign off each policy before it is published. Care providers also donate policies they already use in their own services, and donated policies go through the same sign-off.
Cloda describes its templates as expertly developed, with regular updates and reviews to align with best practice and regulatory standards. On the pages checked, it did not name the authors or describe a sign-off process.
OpenDoc was designed around AI from the start. Staff ask a question in plain English, or out loud in any of 51 languages, and get an answer from their own service’s policies. When CQC, NICE or Care Act guidance changes, OpenDoc tells the service, experts check the change, and the service can compare versions and accept the update or keep its own.
Cloda’s assistant gives staff referenced summaries drawn only from the provider’s active, approved documents, in the language they ask in, in about four seconds. Its alerts are driven by a provider’s own review dates, with notifications when a policy is updated. Its pages do not describe monitoring of external guidance.
Cloda’s Statement of Intended Purpose describes it as a policy and procedure knowledge-assistance tool for administrative information retrieval, navigation and summarisation. It expressly excludes clinical decision support and patient-specific clinical decisions.
Health Connect, which makes OpenDoc, also makes clinical decision management support software, which works alongside OpenDoc in its care platform. On 3 November 2026 the MHRA registered Health Connect Global Ltd as a medical device manufacturer and registered that software under GMDN code 61087. Registration is a listing on the MHRA’s register, not an MHRA certification or approval.
OpenDoc publishes its prices. The library is free to use, and the Organisation plan is £70 + VAT a month per service, or £840 + VAT a year, with unlimited users and unlimited AI use. There is no long-term contract, and a service can cancel at any time from inside the app.
Cloda does not publish a price or its contract terms. Its website asks visitors to request a demo and offers an ROI calculator. Ask Cloda for a quote to compare for your own services.
Cloda’s pages describe alerts for policies due for review within 90 days or overdue, and notifications when a policy is updated.
