Where PlusTrac is strong
PlusTrac’s strengths come from ZOLL being an AED maker: connected ZOLL AEDs report to it on their own, and ZOLL can bundle the software with on-site maintenance, training and medical oversight.
- Connected ZOLL AEDs. Wi-Fi-connected ZOLL AED 3 units, and Powerheart G5 units with ZOLL’s Rescue Ready Monitor, report their status to PlusTrac remotely. ZOLL’s AEDtrax cellular module adds GPS and daily reporting for the AED 3.
- Services from the same company. ZOLL’s PlusCare service includes PlusTrac with each license, plus annual maintenance and post-event support, and PlusLearning provides AED, CPR and first aid classes.
- Medical oversight. ZOLL’s brochure describes FDA-required AED prescriptions, medical oversight, EMS agency notification and post-event support.
- A law library and compliance checks. ZOLL lists a state AED legislation library, a 12-point AED compliance check and a compliance dashboard.
- A native app. The CheckAED app on the App Store and Google Play handles inspections, QR scanning, alerts and a dashboard.
- A longer trial. ZOLL offers a 60-day PlusTrac trial.
If your AEDs are ZOLL units and you want one company for the devices, the service visits and the software, PlusTrac is built for that.
Where AED Log is strong
AED Log is built around the whole safety program rather than one manufacturer’s AEDs: published prices, every brand treated the same, eight more equipment types, and a white-label version for the distributors who sell and service AEDs.
- Published, flat pricing. One price covers every AED in your tier, with unlimited users and locations, so a budget doesn’t need a quote. See pricing.
- More than AEDs. Fire extinguishers, first aid cabinets, eyewash stations, Narcan, EpiPens, Stop the Bleed kits, emergency oxygen and vehicles, each with its own checklist and dates. See equipment types.
- White-label for distributors. AED dealers and service companies can run AED Log under their own name, logo and domain for their customers. See the reseller program.
- Alerts where your team works. Email right away or in a daily or weekly digest, plus Slack, Microsoft Teams and Discord.
- Every brand the same. A catalog of 8 brands and 27 models fills in pad and battery shelf lives, and any other AED can be added by name.
- FDA recall matching. AED recalls are checked weekly, matched to your AEDs and reviewed by a person before a notice appears on the affected unit.
- A free trial with no credit card. 45 days with every feature and equipment type, then a plan only if you want to keep going.
AED Log runs in the browser on any phone, tablet or computer rather than as a native app.
Pricing compared at 1, 10 and 50 AEDs
ZOLL doesn’t publish PlusTrac prices: its pages offer a trial and a demo request, and its Rescue Ready Services page lists no prices. AED Log’s published prices for 1, 10 and 50 AEDs are below.
| AEDs | AED Log, per year | ZOLL PlusTrac |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | $114 | By quote |
| 10 | $660 | By quote |
| 50 | $3,000 | By quote |
AED Log’s price covers every AED in the tier, with unlimited users and locations. Equipment add-ons and Medical Direction ($65 per AED per year) are priced per unit on top. To compare fairly, ask ZOLL for a quote covering the same AEDs, and ask what is included: PlusTrac on its own, or PlusCare with maintenance and post-event support.
