Clinic software in India, with every price sourced and dated

If you run an outpatient clinic with 1 to 4 doctors, the lowest published price in this comparison is Healcon Practice at Rs 399 a month, though Healcon publishes only a starting figure and its plan comparison page now redirects to its home page. The lowest price published with the plan detail beside it is Practo Ray CM Atom at Rs 999 a month on a 1 year term. If the pain is the prescription pad rather than the front desk, HealthPlix at Rs 11,999 a year is the better answer. Elaior, which publishes this page, comes fourth on fit.

Every competitor figure here was read off the vendor's own page on 10 September 2026. Nothing is a range, an estimate, a marketplace listing or a figure converted from another currency. Five vendors an Indian clinic will shortlist publish no price at all, and that is printed as a row rather than filled in with a guess. The Elaior rows were checked against this product's own source code on 11 September 2026, and those files are named in the source list.

The ranking, on fit for a small OPD clinic

1. Practo Ray. Rs 999 a month for CM Atom on a 1 year term, the lowest price here that is published with the plan detail beside it. Both Ray plans list Practo.com integration on Practo's own plans page. CM Atom caps the clinic at 50 doctors, which a practice this size will never reach.
2. HealthPlix. Rs 11,999 a year for Pro. The better answer when the doctor's complaint is writing prescriptions: HealthPlix advertises prescription writing in 14 regional languages and says it is trusted by more than 14,000 doctors.
3. Healcon Practice at Rs 399 a month, or Genamet Professional at Rs 900 a month, for a single doctor counting every rupee. Genamet's entry plan allows only 2 staff logins, so check that before signing, and Healcon no longer publishes any per tier detail at all.
4. Elaior at Rs 1,499 a month per clinic. The better fit when the pain is the token queue, the wall board and the day end count rather than the prescription. It also has no paying customers, which is set out plainly below.
5. Clinicea. The better answer for a multi branch or specialty practice that wants customisable EMR forms and can absorb per practitioner pricing.
6. Bahmni. The better answer for a clinic with technical help that wants no licence fee and full control of its own data.

Every published price, read on 10 September 2026

The unit is where the money goes

• Clinicea is priced per practitioner. Three doctors on Starter is Rs 5,997 a month, not Rs 1,999.
• Genamet counts staff logins, not doctors: 2 on Professional and Premium, 3 on Platinum. A doctor plus two front desk shifts does not fit in 2.
• Practo prices by tenure, so the term has to travel with the number. Rs 999 a month is both the 1 year price of CM Atom and the 4 year commitment price of Clinic Management.
• HealthPlix publishes the price but not the unit, so it cannot honestly be compared against a charge per doctor. Ask before assuming it is unlimited.
• Elaior counts doctors and nothing else. The base price covers one, each further doctor is Rs 399, and front desk and display logins are not metered.

The subscription is not the bill

Read the two tables together. Practo Ray CM Atom with Connect 1000 is Rs 999 plus Rs 1499, so Rs 2,498 a month. Three doctors on Clinicea Starter with the patient portal is Rs 5,997 plus Rs 3,999, so Rs 9,996 a month. Elaior with three doctors and the pharmacy counter is Rs 1,499 plus two extra doctors at Rs 399 plus Rs 999, so Rs 3,296 a month. Compare the totals you will actually pay, not the home page numbers.

The five that publish no price

• DocPulse. Its pricing page is titled Request for Pricing and offers only Book a Free Demo.
• MocDoc. No pricing page at all. The site offers Book a Demo and Contact Us, and the pricing URL redirects to an address that returns not found.
• DrPro. The page titled Pricing carries navigation, product copy and a demo form, with no plan name, amount, currency or billing period.
• Halemind. Its own pricing page shows no plan, amount, billing period or add on cost, although third party listings quote figures for it.
• PappyJoe. Get Quote buttons, a demo booking, a phone number and the line Get up to 50% Discount. It sells builds for dental, general, physiotherapy, ayurveda, homeopathy and veterinary practices, so the quote depends on which build you are shown.

None of that makes them bad software, and none of it means the quote will be a high one. What it does mean is that you cannot compare them on price before the call, and that whatever figure you are given is not one anybody else can check against a published page. Ask for the price per doctor per month in writing, ask what is an add on rather than included, and ask what the figure becomes at renewal.

Why the pages ranking above this one cannot be checked

• The current top result is published by a software vendor and ranks its own product, Cufront, first at Rs 1,250 a month. It cites no source URL and no date checked for any competitor figure.
• It puts Practo Ray at about Rs 2,000 or more a month, roughly double the Rs 999 and Rs 1,499 Practo publishes on a 1 year term. Its HealthPlix figure of about Rs 1,000 a month does reconcile with the published Rs 11,999 a year.
• The second highest ranking roundup is also vendor published. Ichelon Consulting puts its own products first at Rs 3,999 to Rs 14,999 a month, then reduces the other nine entries to unnamed tiers priced as multiples of its own, one at Rs 2,00,000 to Rs 5,00,000 a month. No competitor is named and no price carries a source.
• Marketplace listings lose the unit or go stale. On the Techjockey category page, 7 of 23 products say Price On Request and only 3 quote a monthly figure. It lists Healcon at Rs 499 where Healcon says Rs 399, and Clinicea at Rs 1,999 without saying that figure is per practitioner.
• Every price in the two tables above was read in rupees off the vendor's own page. Nothing here was converted from another currency, and no figure was taken from a marketplace or a review site.

Where Elaior sits, and where it does not

Elaior is ours, so the case against it first. It has no paying customers today. The registry record for elaior.com shows a creation date of 3 January 2026, which makes it about eight months old, and its site publishes no customer count, no reviews and no case studies. Against Practo, HealthPlix and Clinicea it has no track record to offer at all. If your first requirement is a vendor that has been answering support calls for a decade, buy one of those and stop reading here.

What it is built for is the front of the clinic on a busy morning: a token queue carrying walk ins and booked patients together with holds, skips and a critical flag, a wall screen showing token numbers and who is next, a day book covering collected, refunded, paid out and net for the day end count, a patient portal reached with a phone number and a four digit PIN where a weak PIN is refused and a wrong one locks out for longer each time, a follow up list that opens WhatsApp with the patient, date and wording already written, four CSV exports covering patients, visits, billing and expenses, and a monthly workbook for the clinic's accountant. There is also an audit trail in which opening one named record, a printed prescription, an invoice or an attachment, is itself a logged event, while list views, searches and the queue board deliberately record nothing. The pharmacy counter is a paid add on rather than part of the base price. Every one of those claims is cited below to the file that implements it, which is the one check no roundup can run on anybody else.

The route with no licence fee

Bahmni appears in neither of the two vendor published roundups ranking above this page, which tells you something about who writes them. It releases its new components under AGPL 3.0, states no licence fee, is free to download, and says it is used in over 50 countries. The cost is real but it sits somewhere else: hosting, an implementation partner, and somebody who can keep it running, instead of a subscription. For a clinic with technical help that wants to hold its own data, that is a real option, and it belongs on this list even though we sell a subscription.
