CME Agent alternative: the same job for $5 a month
CME Agent is the closest thing to a direct competitor we have: multi-state tracking, an AI course optimizer, OCR certificate capture, and an enterprise tier with an admin dashboard and SOC 2. It is a real product and it ships. The difference is what it costs and what it does with a third party.

Where CME Agent is genuinely ahead
They hold SOC 2 Type II certification and we do not. If your organization's procurement requires it, that is a real and legitimate blocker, buy CME Agent. They have also been shipping longer, and their enterprise tier is more mature than ours.

Common questions
Is Interstate Medicine cheaper than CME Agent?
Yes. Interstate Medicine Ledger is $5 a month, billed yearly at $60, for all 51 jurisdictions, against CME Agent's $348/year ($29/month, unlimited states). Pricing verified from the vendor's own site, re-checked September 2026; confirm current pricing before deciding.
What is the 'complete record' and why does it matter?
Most trackers see only the credits that pass through their own system or that you report to them. The Ledger keeps every certificate you add, from any source, in one record and catches duplicates, so a credit is not counted twice and a credit earned elsewhere is not missed. At audit you give one answer instead of four partial ones.
Can my assistant upload certificates for me?
Yes. Invite a helper from Settings, choose how much they can do, and lower or revoke their access at any time. Every action a helper takes is on your activity log. An individual Ledger includes up to three helpers.
Do you report credits to the board for me?
No, deliberately. The Ledger prepares a CE Broker file and a full CME transcript, and you or your helper submit them. We are not an accreditor and we don't validate credits.
