Pricing
What healthcare software costs when compliance is included
Healthcare budgets differ from general business software in three places: integration with clinical systems, the evidence required for compliance, and the testing depth expected before go-live.
Outcomes
- Compliance work visible in the budget
- Integration cost assessed early
- Phasing that keeps clinical risk low
- An indicative estimate in minutes
Pricing
Where it is used
Patient portal
Appointments, documents, messaging — €70,000 to €140,000.
Clinical workflow system
Pathways, scheduling, EHR integration — €140,000 to €300,000.
Multi-site platform
Several organisations, reporting, governance — €300,000 upwards.
What we deliver
- EHR/FHIR integration scope
- Audit, consent and retention requirements
- Penetration testing and security review
- Clinical validation and training
- Data residency and hosting model
Who this is for
- Clinics, care providers and health suppliers costing a compliant system.
- Teams that need GDPR and patient-data handling priced honestly rather than assumed.
How delivery runs
- 01
Scoping
One to two weeks on the real workflow, systems and data. Output is a written scope and an indicative band.
- 02
Phased plan
The first usable release is identified explicitly so spend produces something usable early.
- 03
Fixed first phase
Phase one is quoted as a fixed price where scope allows; later phases are re-estimated with real velocity data.
- 04
Change log
Anything added after sign-off is estimated and scheduled in writing, so the budget never moves quietly.
Realistic timeline
Weeks 1–4
Scope, data protection assessment and integration feasibility.
Months 2–5
Core system with access control and audit in place.
Months 6–9
Integrations, documentation and controlled rollout.
Build or buy
Buy something existing when
- Certified clinical products where certification is the requirement
Build custom when
- Operational and administrative layers around them, where flexibility matters more than certification
Regulatory classification is assessed in discovery, because it changes the budget more than any feature.
What moves the price
Data protection scope
Special-category personal data requires stricter access control, logging, retention and a documented processing basis — all engineering time.
Clinical integrations
Standards-based exchange with existing clinical systems has long lead times for access and testing.
Audit and traceability
Every read and write of patient data being traceable changes the data model and storage volumes.
Validation and documentation
Where a regulated classification applies, documentation and testing evidence can rival the build effort.
Where projects go wrong
Budget set before scope
A number agreed before discovery is a guess. We give a band after a short scoping phase and narrow it once the workflow and integrations are documented.
Data migration priced last
Legacy data is rarely as clean as expected. We survey the actual export during discovery rather than assuming it at the end.
FAQ
Questions buyers ask
Why is healthcare more expensive?+
Integration and evidence. The same screens cost more because they must be provable, testable and auditable.
Can we phase compliance work?+
Some of it. Access control, logging and encryption are not optional in phase one.
