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.

Tebra: How does Tebra's pricing model work?

Pricing is based on the number of clinical providers rather than user seats. Non-clinical staff get unlimited access at no additional cost. Low-volume providers billing under 100 claims monthly receive lower-tier pricing.

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.

Tebra: What are the setup and integration costs beyond the monthly fee?

Electronic Prescribing Controlled Substances (EPCS) setup costs approximately $75 per provider as a one-time fee. PDMP integration costs $500 one-time per facility plus approximately $50 per user per year.

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.

Tebra: Are there volume discounts for practices using multiple modules?

Yes, bundled pricing and volume incentives are available for multi-module adoption. Practices can request a personalized quote to see potential savings.

Source
BestRx: Does it support multiple locations?

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

Tebra: Does Tebra offer published pricing or is a quote always required?

Tebra does not publish specific monthly costs. Pricing varies depending on the number of providers, platform features needed, and implementation requirements. A personalized quote is required to get pricing.

Source
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.
