Why providers switch to Care App

The most common reasons care providers move from other platforms.

Everything in one subscription

No add-on modules. Rota, timesheets, MAR charts, eLearning, and billing are all included — not extras you pay for separately.

Transparent, per-user pricing

From £12/user/month with tiered pricing as your team grows. No setup fees, no annual lock-in, no surprise invoice.

Built for UK compliance

CQC evidence packs, GDPR-compliant data handling, NHS Data Security and Protection Toolkit alignment, and UK-hosted data.

Simple enough for every shift

Staff can log visits, write notes via voice dictation, and record medication on any phone — without training days or lengthy onboarding.

Sector-specific, not generic

Separate packages for supported living, domiciliary, residential, nursing, mental health, and learning disability — each pre-configured for that setting.

No long-term commitment

Month-to-month billing. If Care App isn't working for you, you can leave — no exit fees, no 12-month minimum.
