What people use each for

  • Veterinary practice managementnot Instinct Science
  • Appointment scheduling and recordsnot Instinct Science
  • Billing and invoicing for veterinary clinicsnot Instinct Science

Instinct Science

  • A twenty four hour emergency hospital where treatments are ordered on a sheet and currently reconciled to invoices by hand at dischargenot ezyVet
  • A specialty referral centre running multiple services on one hospitalised patient that needs a shared, current treatment plan across shiftsnot ezyVet
  • A hospital losing measurable revenue to missed charge capture on inpatient treatments and fluidsnot ezyVet
  • A practice that already relies on Plumbs for dosing and wants drug reference and interaction checking inside the record rather than in a separate tabnot ezyVet

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

ezyVet

  • Initial 6-month contract required
  • Implementation and data conversion services cost extra and are scoped separately
  • Setup costs vary based on clinic size and data structure
  • Renewal terms are 3-month rolling after initial commitment

Instinct Science

  • No pricing is published at all, so a practice cannot compare it against published competitors without a demo and a sales conversation.
  • The design centres on inpatient treatment sheets, so an appointment driven general practice pays for strength in a workflow it barely uses and should evaluate the primary care edition on its own merits rather than the hospital reputation.
  • Retail, inventory and reminder marketing workflows are thinner than in long established general practice systems, so a practice with a significant shop or food business may need workarounds.
  • Plumbs and ScribbleVet are separately licensed even though the same company owns them, so the tidy single vendor story still arrives as more than one line on the invoice.
  • It is a smaller vendor than the corporate owned incumbents, which is an advantage on responsiveness and a risk on acquisition, and veterinary software has consolidated heavily in recent years.
