How much does software for a clinic cost?
The cost of clinic software depends on four factors: the number of users, the active modules, the hosting and the support. With 4clinics the subscription is per clinic, not per doctor: it starts at €1 a month and grows with the plan; a locally installed solution costs more upfront and requires your own maintenance.
Short answer
- With 4clinics the subscription is billed per clinic, not per doctor, and starts at €1 a month, hosting included.
- The price grows with the number of users and the active modules (appointments, medical record, reports).
- A practice of up to 3 users fits the entry plan, at €1 a month; up to 10 users costs €5 a month.
- A locally installed solution requires a pricier license plus self-managed maintenance and backups.
- The real range, from the entry plan to the largest one: €1–€20 a month, with no implementation cost and 6 months free, no card, no yearly commitment.
What you pay for (components)
The cost components of clinic software
| Component | SaaS (e.g. 4clinics) | Installed locally |
|---|---|---|
| Platform / hosting | A per-clinic subscription (not per doctor), from €1 a month, hosting included | Pricier license, plus your own server and hosting |
| Clinical modules | Appointments, medical record and reports included in the plan | Modules billed separately or built on request |
| Maintenance and backups | Included (updates, security, automatic backups) | On you or an IT administrator |
Practical example
Example: a practice with 2 doctors and an assistant fits the entry plan and pays €1 a month for the whole account — not per doctor. Online appointments, the patient record and reports are included. When the team passes 3 people you move to the 10-user plan, at €5 a month. There is no implementation cost, because setup is done from the interface in a few hours.
Common mistakes
- Comparing only the base subscription and ignoring the modules you actually need.
- Choosing a locally installed solution and forgetting the cost of the server, backups and updates.
- Paying for an expensive implementation for a small practice you could set up yourself from the interface.
How 4clinics helps
- A predictable per-doctor subscription, with hosting, security and automatic backups included.
- Appointments, the electronic patient record and reports in a single account, with no separately paid modules.
- Setup in a few hours, with no implementation cost and no dedicated IT administrator.
