Answered from the vendors’ own pages

BestRx: What does BestRx cost?

It has historically been sold at a flat monthly fee rather than by volume, and is positioned as the affordable option in a market where almost nobody publishes pricing. Confirm the current figure and what hardware is extra.

Jane App: How much does it cost to add practitioners to Jane App?

For Practice and Thrive plans, additional practitioners cost based on hours worked: full-time (24+ hours/week) practitioners have one rate, while part-time (<24 hours/week) practitioners have a reduced rate. Administrative staff without booked appointments are provided at no charge.

Source
BestRx: Is it good enough for a busy pharmacy?

It handles ordinary dispensing volume. Pharmacies building substantial clinical service revenue will find PioneerRx better equipped for documenting and billing that work.

Jane App: Do clinics with many practitioners get discounts on Jane App?

Yes, clinics with 10 or more practitioners may qualify for discounted rates on Jane App.

Source
BestRx: Why does published pricing matter here?

Because everything else in this category is quote-based. A small pharmacy owner can establish a budget without entering three sales processes, which is genuinely unusual.

Jane App: Is AI Scribe available as an add-on on all Jane App plans?

Yes, AI Scribe is available as an optional add-on across all plans at $15/month per practitioner, or 5 free notes monthly.

Source
BestRx: Does it support multiple locations?

It is aimed at single-location independents. Multi-site operations should evaluate the larger systems.

BestRx: Is support included?

Support and updates have historically been included in the monthly fee rather than sold separately, which is part of the affordability positioning.
