Clinic software in India is priced in four models: per-doctor subscriptions of roughly ₹1,999 to ₹3,999 per practitioner per month, flat annual fees of roughly ₹12,000 to ₹50,000 per year, commission or revenue-share cuts on collections, and freemium plans that charge for add-ons. For a multi-doctor clinic, the model matters more than the headline number.

What are the four pricing models for clinic software in India?

Per-doctor subscription, flat annual fee, commission, and freemium with add-ons.

  1. STEP 1
    Per doctor
    Clinicea is the clearest public example, at ₹1,999 to ₹3,999 per practitioner per month depending on plan. Every associate or new hire raises the bill.
  2. STEP 2
    Flat annual fee
    KiviHealth lists one package at ₹12,000 plus GST per year, or ₹25,000 for 3 years, and its pricing page does not state a doctor limit. CuraVerto publishes ₹25,000 per year for CMS and ₹50,000 per year for ART, plus ₹10,000 per sanctioned bed per year for HMS, excluding GST.
  3. STEP 3
    Commission or revenue share
    The vendor takes a percentage of consultation revenue or a fee per booking. The entry price looks low or free, and the cost scales with your own collections.
  4. STEP 4
    Freemium plus add-ons
    A free or cheap core product with the operationally necessary features sold as add-ons. Price the configuration you will actually run.

Clinic software price comparison: published figures (2026)

Only public, checkable figures as of mid-2026, with a 3-doctor, single-branch clinic priced for one year.

CuraVerto HMSPer sanctioned bed₹10,000 per bed per year (10 to 150 beds)Not applicable (hospital plan)

All CuraVerto prices exclude GST, and the same is generally true across the market: confirm tax treatment on every quote before comparing. Where a range is shown for Clinicea, the low end is the Starter plan and the high end is Enterprise, both billed per practitioner.

The 3-doctor clinic math: why the model beats the number

One model has a slope and the other does not.

  • ₹71,964
    per year, 3 doctors at ₹1,999 per month each
  • ₹1,43,964
    per year, 3 doctors on the ₹3,999 plan
  • ₹25,000
    per year, CuraVerto CMS, unlimited doctors at one branch

Branches are priced the same way on CuraVerto: every plan includes 1 branch, and additional branches cost ₹10,000 per year each on CMS and ART. Three branches on CMS come to ₹25,000 plus 2 x ₹10,000, which is ₹45,000 per year. The IVF and Fertility module is the one capability that specifically requires the ART plan.

Hidden add-on costs clinics forget to budget

The licence fee is rarely the whole software bill. The tools around the EMR often cost more than the EMR itself.

  • ₹2,200 to ₹18,500
    per month for a WhatsApp messaging platform, before Meta's own per-conversation charges
  • ₹800 to ₹2,400
    per user per month for a CRM
  • ₹2,000 to ₹4,000
    per month for a patient booking portal

Stack the low ends of those ranges and a clinic pays about ₹63,000 a year in add-ons around a cheap EMR. Stack the high ends and it clears ₹2.5 lakh. CuraVerto builds WhatsApp messaging, the booking bot, and digital prescription delivery into the platform itself, so those line items do not exist as separate subscriptions.

Usage-based charges: the wallet model explained

Costs that genuinely vary with usage are metered through a prepaid wallet at published rates.

  • ₹1
    per minute of AI Scribe
  • ₹0.15
    per WhatsApp utility template message
  • ₹5
    per minute of teleconsult

Patient replies inside the 24-hour service window are not charged by CuraVerto, and every wallet debit is itemised. Compare any vendor's messaging price against Meta's own published WhatsApp platform rates: a large gap between what Meta charges and what the tool charges you is margin.

How to compare clinic software quotes: a 5-point checklist

  1. 1Price next year's headcountPrice the clinic at next year's headcount, not today's. Per-doctor models punish growth.
  2. 2GST in or outConfirm whether every quoted figure includes or excludes GST, and compare consistently.
  3. 3Renewal price in writingAsk for the renewal price in writing. First-year discounts with steep escalations are common.
  4. 4Price the full stackEMR plus WhatsApp tool plus CRM plus booking page, not the EMR alone.
  5. 5Data on exitAsk what happens to your data if you leave, and whether export is free and in a standard format.

Frequently asked questions

How much does clinic software cost in India in 2026?
Published prices in 2026 range from about ₹12,000 per year for a flat-fee plan to ₹1,43,964 per year for a 3-doctor clinic on per-practitioner pricing at ₹3,999 per practitioner per month. KiviHealth publishes ₹12,000 per year flat, Clinicea publishes ₹1,999 to ₹3,999 per practitioner per month, and CuraVerto publishes ₹25,000 per year for CMS (clinics), ₹50,000 per year for ART (fertility centres), and ₹10,000 per sanctioned bed per year for HMS (hospitals), excluding GST.
What is the difference between per-doctor and flat annual pricing?
Per-doctor pricing charges a fee for every practitioner, so the cost multiplies as the clinic grows: three doctors pay three times the price of one. Flat annual pricing charges per clinic regardless of headcount, so adding a doctor costs nothing extra. For a solo practitioner the two models can look similar; for a 3-doctor clinic the gap is often several times the flat fee.
What does CuraVerto cost?
CuraVerto publishes three plans, all excluding GST: CMS at ₹25,000 per year for clinics, with unlimited doctors and 1 branch included; ART at ₹50,000 per year for fertility centres, which adds IVF and audit logs to everything in CMS, with 1 branch included; and HMS at ₹10,000 per sanctioned bed per year for hospitals, scoped with the hospital. Additional branches cost ₹10,000 per year each on CMS and ART. There are no per-doctor fees and no commission on consultations.
What hidden costs should clinics budget for beyond the software licence?
The most common extras are separate WhatsApp messaging tools at roughly ₹2,200 to ₹18,500 per month, CRM subscriptions at roughly ₹800 to ₹2,400 per user per month, and patient booking portals at roughly ₹2,000 to ₹4,000 per month. A clinic stacking all three can spend more on add-ons than on the clinic software itself, which is why bundled platforms should be compared on total stack cost, not licence price.
Do clinic software prices in India include GST?
Usually not. Most published clinic software prices in India, including CuraVerto's, are exclusive of GST, so the invoiced amount is higher than the listed price once tax is added. When comparing vendors, confirm whether each quoted figure is inclusive or exclusive of GST, and compare like with like. Also confirm the renewal price, since some vendors escalate significantly after the first year.
How do usage-based charges like WhatsApp and AI scribe work?
Some platforms meter high-variable-cost features instead of padding the licence fee. CuraVerto uses a prepaid wallet: AI Scribe costs ₹1 per minute of recorded consultation, a WhatsApp utility template message costs ₹0.15, patient replies inside the 24-hour service window are not charged by CuraVerto, and teleconsult costs ₹5 per minute. Every debit is itemised, so the clinic sees exactly where usage money goes.
