OpenClinica pricing
OpenClinica publishes 2 tiers. Below is each one, what it adds over the tier beneath it, and where the ladder stops being worth climbing for most people.
As of 31 August 2026, OpenClinica pricing is on request across 2 published tiers. Figures are the vendor's list prices as recorded on this page's last check; the vendor's site is the final word.

OpenClinica 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.
| Plan | Price | Features listed | Step up from the tier below |
|---|---|---|---|
| Community Edition | On request | 5 | Entry tier |
| OpenClinica Enterprise | On request | 5 | 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.
Community Edition
On requestThe entry tier. It covers free and open source under the lgpl, self-hosted, on the older 3.x line, no vendor support or services of any kind, you produce your own validation documentation, does not include econsent, ecoa or the modern form builder.
OpenClinica Enterprise
On requestOver Community Edition, this tier adds:
- Pricing only through a sales process
- Hosted and validated instance
- EDC, eConsent, eCOA, randomisation and analytics modules
- 21 CFR Part 11 and GCP aligned audit trail
- Study build services quoted separately from the licence
What the product covers
The full OpenClinica 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.
Other
- Open source community edition
- Electronic data capture
- eConsent
- eCOA and ePRO
- Randomisation
- EHR-to-EDC
- Audit trail
- Reporting and analytics
People bring OpenClinica in for an academic coordinating centre running investigator-initiated trials that needs part 11 compliant capture without an enterprise eclinical budget, a registry or observational cohort study collecting structured data across many sites over years, a small device sponsor that needs econsent and epro in the same system as its case report forms, an informatics group that wants to self-host the open source edition for a non-regulated internal study. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to OpenClinica 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 OpenClinica |

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 OpenClinica badges page.
Before you pay for OpenClinica
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: 2 tiers between On request and On request, with the jump itemised above. With no free tier on record, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to compare OpenClinica against the tools that do have one before committing.
OpenClinica runs on web, self-hosted, ios, android, and is published by OpenClinica, LLC of Waltham, Massachusetts, United States. The full record is on the OpenClinica review, and the rest of the category is under best healthcare tools.

- Are these OpenClinica prices current?
