The short version

  • Only Phreesia has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Phreesia no price is published: the vendor states pricing is customised to organisation size, workflows and products used, and is given only as a tailored quote; Signant Health no pricing is published, and the software licence is a minority of the real bill once instrument licensing, translations, device provisioning and services are added, so early budget estimates are routinely too low.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

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

Phreesia

  • No price is published: the vendor states pricing is customised to organisation size, workflows and products used, and is given only as a tailored quote
  • The current free access to the Intake platform is time limited and ends on 31 December 2026, with the rate that follows undisclosed
  • A buyer must book a demo before receiving any figure

Signant Health

  • No pricing is published, and the software licence is a minority of the real bill once instrument licensing, translations, device provisioning and services are added, so early budget estimates are routinely too low.
  • Linguistic validation is charged per instrument per language and is on the critical path to first patient in, so adding a country late in start-up produces both a cost and a schedule hit.
  • Provisioned participant devices bring logistics, replacement, shipping and cellular connectivity obligations that persist for the life of the trial and are frequently underestimated.
  • The EDC component is newer than the eCOA heritage, so sponsors with complex data management requirements often keep an incumbent EDC and lose the single-database benefit that justifies the platform.
  • It is priced and scoped for sponsor-grade trials, which makes it a poor fit for investigator-initiated or academic studies that need outcome collection without the services layer.
