Care App publishes every price. Here is how the two compare from what each company makes public.
The differences that matter most when choosing between Care App and Log my Care.
In Care App's care setting editions these are part of the price. At Log my Care, rostering, eMAR and the Family App are add-ons on top of a paid plan.
Care App creates invoices, including split billing for supported living, and prepares pay from timesheets. Log my Care exports rota data for your finance team and does not list invoicing.
Care plans and incident reporting come with every Care App care setting edition. At Log my Care they need the Pro plan.
Every Care App price is published and the same for every provider, and Care App is monthly with 1 month's notice after the trial. Log my Care's paid plans are quoted provider by provider, and providers tell us they are tied into contracts.
Care App's Max plan includes recruitment and a course builder. Log my Care offers a training and skills matrix on Pro.
When a small service outgrows a free logging tool, Care App covers the rota, medication, pay and invoices without adding separate products.
Different tools suit different services. An honest view of where each one is strongest.
Send us your client and staff lists as a spreadsheet, or even typed into an email, and we will import them for you. You can also use Data Import in the app yourself. With the free month you can run both systems side by side before you switch.
Log my Care's Starter plan is free for sites with up to 10 service users. Care plans, incident follow-up and other features need the Pro plan, which is priced per active service user on request, and rostering, eMAR and the Family App are add-ons.
We could not find invoicing on Log my Care's website or terms. Its rota exports to a CSV file for your finance team. Care App includes invoicing, with split billing on the Supported Living edition.
It depends on your size and on the quote you get. Log my Care charges per active service user with no charge for staff users, and quotes vary widely: from about £16 per service user a month on a larger service to £150 a month for a supported living service with 3 clients and 10 staff, most likely including add-ons such as rostering and eMAR. Care App publishes one price for everyone, per staff user on a graduated scale: on a care setting edition the first 10 users are £12 each, the next 10 £10.50, then £7.50, £4.50 and £3.50. That 3-client service with 10 staff would pay £120 a month on Care App, with the rota, eMAR and family portal included. A home care agency with 25 clients and 30 staff would pay about £400 a month at £16 per client against £300 on Care App. Where Log my Care quotes about £16 per client to a service with many staff for each person, such as 6 people and 18 staff (about £96 against £204), Log my Care costs less. The figures at about £16 per client are before Log my Care's rostering, eMAR and Family App add-ons; Care App's include them. See every price on the packages page.
