The short answer

FireFly is an affordable starter; CuraSim’s free Student plan already gives you thirteen repertories, and AI analysis when you go into practice.

  • More books, for free. Thirteen repertories, the Materia Medica, the Organon and Pharmacy Academy on CuraSim’s free Student plan.
  • AI built in — and it shows its working. Describe the case in your own words and CuraSim proposes real rubrics from Kent’s repertory, weights Mind and Generals, and ranks remedies — each one traced back to the rubrics that put it there and linked to its Materia Medica, inside the same program.
  • One account on every device. CuraSim runs in the browser on a Mac, Windows PC, tablet or phone — nothing to install, no licence per machine, no separate mobile subscription.
  • Veterinary and agro included. A veterinary module (beta) with its own repertory, and an agro-homeopathy AI mentor (beta), are part of CuraSim — not a separate package.

The fairest test is your own: run the same two or three completed, de-identified cases through both, and compare the rubrics each one finds, how clearly it shows its reasoning, and how much you had to correct. CuraSim’s Student plan is free, so that test costs nothing on our side.

Thirteen repertories, AI that shows its working, and the whole patient record — free to start, no card required.
