Migrate from Flatfile to AdaptivMapr — healthcare-aware data import.
Flatfile is a mature, well-built generic importer with a strong ecosystem and a polished embed. We are not pretending otherwise. AdaptivMapr's wedge is narrower and sharper: healthcare-aware templates, multilingual matching, and a BAA posture that comes from bundling with PHI Gateway rather than negotiating a vendor-specific one.
If your import path touches PHI, FHIR, or multilingual clinical data, the trade is worth running. If it does not, stay on Flatfile.
Side-by-side
Only the rows where the answer is clear. If a comparison is ambiguous we have left it out rather than guess.
| Capability | Flatfile | AdaptivMapr |
|---|---|---|
| BAA / HIPAA posture | Available on Enterprise contracts | Inherited via PHI Gateway bundle for full-data mode; schema-only mode needs no DPA |
| FHIR-aware templates | DIY — generic schema builder | 10 built-in (Patient, Observation, Medication, Claim.item, Coverage, Practitioner, Appointment, and more) |
| Multilingual header hints | EN-only by default; custom synonyms per workspace | DE / FR / IT / EN / ES on every healthcare field, out of the box |
| Healthcare validators | Generic (regex, ranges); healthcare codes DIY | AHV / NPI / LOINC / SNOMED / ICD-10 / ATC / GTIN / IBAN ship as first-class validators |
| Schema-only mode | Not a documented mode | Default. Headers + ≤3 sample rows leave the customer; free and unlimited |
| MCP-first distribution | No MCP server | @adaptivmapr/mcp-server with free schema-only tools for Cursor / Claude Desktop |
| Pricing model | Per-seat / per-workspace tiers | Schema-only free; full-data metered per row inside the PHI Gateway bundle |
When to switch
- You are routing PHI through Flatfile under a BAA and would rather inherit one through PHI Gateway than negotiate it vendor-by-vendor.
- Your customer base lives in DE / FR / IT / EN / ES and you are tired of curating per-tenant synonym lists.
- You need FHIR resource emit from imports and do not want to hand-build the mapping for ten healthcare resources.
- You want a free schema-only tier with no DPA to put in front of every prospect, with a clean upsell into full-data when it matters.
When not to switch: if you need Flatfile's mature embed theming, its ecosystem integrations, or its non-healthcare template library, AdaptivMapr will not match those today. Be honest about which axis matters for your buyer.
