DHIS2 pricing

DHIS2 publishes 3 tiers. Below is each one, what it adds over the tier beneath it, and where the ladder stops being worth climbing for most people.

Entry price: Free
Model: Open source, no licence fee
Tiers: 3
Free tier: Yes

DHIS2 plans, side by side

Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.

DHIS2 pricing tiers
Plan	Price	Features listed	Step up from the tier below
DHIS2 software	Free	4	Entry tier
Shared Services Fee	On request	3	Priced on request
Implementation and support	On request	3	Priced on request

What each tier adds

The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.

DHIS2 software

Free

The entry tier. It covers bsd licence, all modules including tracker, no user or facility limits, documentation and community forum.

Shared Services Fee

On request

Over DHIS2 software, this tier adds:

Amount agreed with the HISP Centre

Implementation and support

On request

Over Shared Services Fee, this tier adds:

What the product covers

The full DHIS2 feature record, grouped as the catalogue groups it. This is the product as a whole; the record does not map every feature onto a specific tier.

People bring DHIS2 in for a ministry of health replacing paper monthly reporting from thousands of facilities with a national routine system, a donor-funded hiv or tuberculosis programme that must report standard indicators across several districts, a disease surveillance unit needing weekly case reporting with outbreak alerting and mapping, an ngo running individual patient follow-up in a programme where facilities are frequently offline. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to DHIS2 are worth a look before you commit to a tier.

How that compares in Healthcare

Too few healthcare tools in this directory publish a starting price to quote a meaningful median, so the table below is a like-for-like list rather than a ranking.

Aidoc	On request	quote	-	vs DHIS2

Ratings are aggregated from third-party sources and imported with each catalogue entry, they are not reviews hosted on Softwr. How each figure is used is set out on the DHIS2 badges page.

Before you pay for DHIS2

Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.

What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 3 tiers between Free and On request, with the jump itemised above. Because there is a free tier, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to use it before paying anything.

DHIS2 runs on web, android, self-hosted, cloud, and is published by HISP Centre, University of Oslo of Oslo, Norway. The full record is on the DHIS2 review, and the rest of the category is under best healthcare tools.
