Redica alternative
Redica Systems is an enterprise quality and regulatory intelligence platform sold by demo. It holds FDA documents obtained through FOIA, such as unpublished Form 483s and inspection reports, plus records from many other agencies. RegDataLab is a smaller, self-serve product: FDA's public compliance records matched to companies and sites, with a free tier you can start in a minute and ask from Claude or ChatGPT. If you need unpublished documents or agencies beyond FDA, Redica is the stronger fit. If you need a quick public-record check on a supplier, RegDataLab does that without a sales call.
No key needed for the check. For the full record, connect RegDataLab or use the API.

When to use which
Use Redica when
You run inspection readiness for a large quality team and need unpublished 483s, inspection reports, investigator histories and regulators outside the United States.
Use RegDataLab when
You are checking a supplier or contract manufacturer and want its public FDA record in one place today, without a demo or a contract.
Public records, linked to the source
Every record links back to its fda.gov page, so an answer can be checked against FDA's own copy.
Built for AI tools
One MCP server URL gives Claude, ChatGPT and coding agents the tools; the same data is on a REST API.

Questions
- Is RegDataLab a full replacement for Redica?
- No. Redica holds documents obtained through FOIA requests, investigator profiles and records from regulators outside the United States. RegDataLab covers FDA's public records only. It fits supplier checks and monitoring where public records are enough.
- Does RegDataLab have Form 483s?
- It has the Form 483s FDA has published and the citation data FDA releases for inspections. A 483 that FDA has not published has to be requested from FDA under FOIA or bought from a document service.
- Is there a free version?
- Yes. 50 credits now, 300 credits a month once you verify your email.
- How do I use RegDataLab in Claude or ChatGPT?
- Add https://www.regdatalab.com/mcp as a custom connector (Claude: Customize, Connectors, Add custom connector; ChatGPT: add a custom MCP server with OAuth), sign in with your key, then ask in plain English. 50 credits now, 300 credits a month once you verify your email.
- Is RegDataLab part of the FDA?
- No. RegDataLab is an independent data product built on public FDA records. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
