Software Price Comparison

When choosing a practice management system (PMS), licence fees and billing models make a significant difference to long-term value. At Xestro, we believe practices deserve transparency and fairness — not uncertainty or hidden terms.

How Xestro Stands Out

Transparent pricing

We consistently publish our licence fees online. No "call us for a quote", no selective deals. Everyone is on our best rate from day one.

Shared licensing

Most platforms lock licences to individuals or roles. Xestro uses shared (concurrent) licences, so you pay only for what you use.

Fair licensing

Xestro charges the way the original server-based systems did — on a concurrent user basis — because it's still the fairest way to match cost to actual usage.

Auto-adjusting licenses

If your practice grows, capacity increases. If it contracts, your licence count decreases. No annual lock-ins. No paying for idle seats.

Short-term discounts vs lasting value

Some competitors provide steep short-term discounts to win business. Because they charge on a per-staff-member basis, those deals often look sharp at first but rarely stay that way — and costs jump when the discount ends.

Xestro's model is different: With shared (concurrent) licences and automatic down-adjustment, our standard pricing is usually competitive even against discounted offers — and it stays competitive over time. You pay only for what you use, at a fair and transparent price.

Value beyond the sticker price

Better Value Delivery

Even where others quote a lower fee, Xestro typically delivers better value through our flexible licensing model and efficient automation features.

Key Benefits
  • • Licences are shared, not locked to individuals
  • • Licence numbers flex with actual usage
  • • No annual lock-ins on licence counts
  • • Automations reduce staff workload

Real-world value

At $4.30 per day per licence, Xestro costs far less than even an hour of staff time (typically $35–$50/hour, excluding on-costs) — and our automation helps keep those staff hours down.

Why We Publish Our Pricing

We are confident enough in the value we deliver to publish our licence fees online. Transparency is part of our DNA. By contrast, most of the market keeps pricing behind sales calls and negotiations. Our clients know exactly what they're paying, with no hidden escalations or artificial discounts.
