NexHealth vs Formisoft: Digital Front Door vs Dedicated Intake Platform
February 15, 2026
NexHealth positions itself as the "digital front door" for healthcare practices. It covers online scheduling, patient messaging, reviews, reminders, and yes — intake forms. It is a broad patient engagement platform that tries to do everything a practice needs to communicate with patients.
The problem with doing everything is that nothing gets done deeply. NexHealth's intake forms exist, but they are a supporting feature — not the core product. The form builder is basic, customization is limited, and you get none of the AI generation, advanced field types, or funnel analytics that a dedicated intake platform provides. If intake is important to your practice, you need a tool that treats it as the main event.

Where NexHealth's Intake Falls Short
The form builder is an afterthought
NexHealth's core product is patient engagement — messaging, scheduling, reviews. Intake forms are included as a feature, not developed as the product. The builder is basic, the field types are standard, and the customization options are limited. If your intake workflow is straightforward, it might work. If you need structured medication lists, conditional logic, photo uploads, or insurance capture fields, you will hit walls quickly.
No AI, no modern builder experience
NexHealth does not offer AI form generation. You build forms manually or start from a template and edit. There is no drag-and-drop canvas, no slash commands, no inline editing experience. Formisoft's builder feels like a modern design tool — because intake form creation should be fast and intuitive, not tedious.
No form analytics
How many patients start your intake form but do not finish? Where do they drop off? Which device do they use? NexHealth does not give you form-level analytics. You have no visibility into intake completion rates and no data to improve them. Formisoft shows you the full funnel for every form.
Opaque pricing, annual commitments
NexHealth does not publish pricing. You go through a sales process and typically sign an annual contract. Practices often report costs significantly higher than what a dedicated intake tool would charge. Formisoft is $49.99/month, publicly listed, no contracts.
What Formisoft Does Deeper
A form builder built for healthcare complexity
Formisoft's drag-and-drop canvas with 25+ healthcare field types handles the real complexity of patient intake. Insurance fields capture provider, policy number, and group ID in structured format. Medication fields capture drug name, dosage, frequency, and purpose. Allergy fields include severity levels. Condition checklists map to clinical standards. This is not a generic form with healthcare labels — it is structured clinical data capture.
AI that eliminates setup time
Type "Create a dental intake form with insurance verification, medical history questionnaire, medication list, allergy screen, and treatment consent" and have a complete, multi-page intake form in 30 seconds. Edit with drag-and-drop. Add your branding. Send to patients. The time from signup to live intake form is under 10 minutes.
Analytics that drive completion rates
Every form gets full funnel analytics. See how many patients view the form, how many start filling it out, where they drop off, how long each page takes, and what devices they use. Use this data to shorten forms, reorder pages, and improve completion rates. When every completed form means one less phone call for your staff, these numbers matter.
Patient records, not just submissions
Every submission in Formisoft links to a patient record. Over time, you build a complete intake history for each patient — past forms, visit dates, changes in medications or conditions. This is clinical data management, not form response collection.
The Bottom Line
NexHealth is a capable patient engagement platform. If you need messaging, reviews, and reputation management alongside basic intake, it covers a lot of ground. But breadth comes at the cost of depth.
If patient intake is a meaningful part of your workflow — if you need complex forms, structured healthcare fields, AI generation, conditional logic, custom branding, and analytics — Formisoft does it better. It is the dedicated intake platform that complements whatever engagement tools you already use.
At $49.99/month with transparent pricing and no contracts, it is an easy addition to your stack — and a significant upgrade to your intake experience.
