|---|---|---|
| Brevity Care | Affordable all-in-one for small to mid providers | About $15 to $30 per user per month |

| ShiftCare | Rostering-led in-home and community providers | From around $9 per user per month |
| CareMaster | Smaller teams wanting flat pricing and PRODA claiming | From around $99 per month (up to 5 users) |
| MYP | CRM plus operations and claiming in one | Custom |
| AlayaCare | Larger home and community care with clinical needs | Custom |
