The Verdict
Doximity is built for physicians and nurses, with a focus on physician-network and telehealth. Microsoft Teams targets enterprise and teams and leads with chat and video-meetings.
Doximity uses custom enterprise pricing, while Microsoft Teams starts at $4/mo — a tangible advantage for teams with a fixed budget.
Both offer free plans, so you can test each with your real workflow before committing to a subscription.
This is a genuinely close comparison. If you can, sign up for both free trials (where available) and run a one-week test with your actual team tasks before deciding.
