- PDMP integration costs $500 one time per facility plus about $50 per user per year
Structured
- No monthly view available, only daily and weekly views, limiting ability to preview long-term schedules
- Cannot export to Excel, PDF, or other printable formats; only JSON export available on Apple devices
- Calendar import requires Pro subscription (except on web where free import is available)
- Android and web versions significantly lag behind iOS version in features and performance
