Updated June 2026

PicnicHealth and Cellar both gather your records from every provider into one place and add an AI assistant. They differ in two ways that matter. PicnicHealth's full membership is paid, and the company also runs a clinical-research business built on patient data with consent. Cellar is a subscription you pay for, never sells your data or uses it to train AI, and lets you export everything or erase it permanently in one step, anytime.
| Cellar | PicnicHealth | |
|---|---|---|
| Gathers records across providers | You add records from any provider, lab, or country | Retrieves records on your behalf from providers |
| Reads and organizes documents | Source-linked timeline, biomarker trends, citations | Organized records with an AI assistant |
| Business model | A subscription you pay for; your data is never sold | Paid consumer membership, plus a clinical-research business |
| Sharing | Read-only, time-limited, revocable link, no account | Share your records with your care team |
| Leaving | Export everything or erase it permanently in one step, anytime | Membership and research participation are managed in-account |
What PicnicHealth is best at: PicnicHealth is well known for retrieving your records from providers on your behalf, and for letting you contribute your data to medical research with consent. Cellar does not retrieve records for you or run a research business; you add records yourself, and Cellar's only business is the subscription.
Not for: If your priority is contributing your records to medical research, that is PicnicHealth's model, not Cellar's. Cellar's business is only the subscription.
The two real differences
Both products aim at the same problem: your records scattered across providers, with no single place that holds and understands them. Where they differ is price and business model.
PicnicHealth offers a paid consumer membership and also operates a clinical-research business that works with life-sciences partners, using patient data with consent. Cellar makes money one way, a subscription, and never sells your data, runs no ads, and keeps no analytics.
Control and leaving
With Cellar you can export everything, your original files plus the structured record, in one step at any time, and erase your account permanently whenever you want. Your records stay portable and independent of the company.
Common questions
Does PicnicHealth retrieve my records for me?
Yes, that is part of what PicnicHealth is known for. Cellar does not retrieve records for you; you add them yourself, by upload or by forwarding them to your private address.
What is the difference in business model?
PicnicHealth offers a paid membership and also runs a clinical-research business using patient data with consent. Cellar's only business is the subscription; it never sells your data.
Can I export and leave Cellar?
Yes. You can export everything in one step at any time, and erase your account permanently whenever you want.
Bring your records into one place
Cellar reads your labs, scans, and visit notes into one private, source-linked timeline you can search and share with any doctor. Encrypted, and never used to train AI.
