OpenMRS 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| OpenMRS | Free | 5 | Entry tier |
Where OpenMRS stops being free

People bring OpenMRS in for a ministry of health standardising hiv treatment records across hundreds of facilities where per-patient licensing would be unaffordable, a hospital network in a country where no commercial vendor supports the local language, clinical forms or reporting requirements, an ngo running a tuberculosis programme that must report into dhis2 and needs the clinical record beneath it to be modifiable, a health system that wants to own its clinical data model outright rather than depend on a vendor to extend it. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to OpenMRS 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 OpenMRS |

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 OpenMRS badges page.
Before you pay for OpenMRS
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: a single tier at Free. Because there is a free tier, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to use it before paying anything.
OpenMRS runs on linux, web, windows, and is published by OpenMRS community and OpenMRS Inc. of Global, with coordination in Indianapolis, Indiana, United States. The full record is on the OpenMRS review, and the rest of the category is under best healthcare tools.
