Comparison
Localis vs. AAPC Codify
AAPC's Codify (marketed under its Coder subscription tiers) is primarily a medical coding reference tool — CPT/HCPCS/ICD-10 lookups, crosswalks, and coding guidance — with a Medicare fee-schedule lookup as one feature among many. We're the reverse: rate computation, versioning, and contracted-rate modeling is the entire product, accessible by API as well as web. Based on Codify's public marketing pages as of July 2026; confirm current features and pricing directly with AAPC before deciding.
| Feature | Localis | AAPC Codify |
|---|---|---|
| Primary purpose | Computed, versioned Medicare rates — API-first | Medical coding reference suite (code lookups, crosswalks, guidance); fee schedule is one feature |
| Medicare fee schedule + RVU lookup | Yes | Yes — national and local, facility/non-facility, by year and quarter |
| Programmatic API | Yes — free tier available | Not described on Codify's public marketing pages |
| Contracted-rate ("% of Medicare") modeling | Yes | Not described on Codify's public marketing pages |
| Pricing model | Free API tier; paid tiers for volume and modeling | Per-seat subscription (Basic/Pro Fee/Complete Coder tiers), free trial available |
Bottom line
If your team needs the full coding-reference toolkit — crosswalks, guidance, CPT Assistant archives — Codify covers ground we don't try to. If what you actually need is rates in your own software or a contracted-rate model, that's what we're built for specifically.

No account, no card, no trial clock. The API is still being built — the pages aren't.
