Competitor information based on publicly available pricing and feature pages. Correct as of July 2026. Some add-ons may be available at additional cost.
Per user per month, starting price. Competitors often require annual contracts and setup fees on top.
The most common reasons care providers move from other platforms.
No add-on modules. Rota, timesheets, MAR charts, eLearning, and billing are all included — not extras you pay for separately.
From £12/user/month with tiered pricing as your team grows. No setup fees, no annual lock-in, no surprise invoice.
CQC evidence packs, GDPR-compliant data handling, NHS Data Security and Protection Toolkit alignment, and UK-hosted data.
Staff can log visits, write notes via voice dictation, and record medication on any phone — without training days or lengthy onboarding.
Separate packages for supported living, domiciliary, residential, nursing, mental health, and learning disability — each pre-configured for that setting.
Month-to-month billing. If Care App isn't working for you, you can leave — no exit fees, no 12-month minimum.
