Compare pricing for the top telemedicine software products with the highest value-for-money and functionality ratings.

We hear from software buyers time and again that price and functionality are two of their top considerations when investing in a new telemedicine solution. Budget is a constraint for most businesses, but affordability alone doesn't make a product valuable—it must also offer the required functionality. 

Telemedicine software enables patients and doctors to have conversations and conduct exams remotely. The right solution can improve patient satisfaction, allow doctors to diagnose and treat more patients, and decrease the number of no-shows and cancellations. Pricing of telemedicine solutions can range from free to over $150 per month, but a higher price may not always mean higher value. Read the buyers guide to further understand the benefits of the software, considerations when buying software, and more. 

In this report, we've ranked the most valuable telemedicine software products based on user reviews: those with the highest ratings for both value for money and functionality. We’ve also included the starting price and functionality details for each product.

Understand the common pricing models

  • Perpetual license: You pay an upfront sum for license to own the software and use it in perpetuity. This is the more traditional model and is most common with on-premise applications.

  • Subscription: You pay a monthly fee to use the software for a specific amount of time. Subscription-based pricing gained popularity, thanks to the increasing adoption of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS).

  • Open-source license: Open-source licenses are usually free of charge, which reduces your upfront investment. Implementation, integration, and ongoing maintenance, however, can be major expenses.

Watch out for these often overlooked costs

  • Data migration: While this can be done in-house, you might want to pay the vendor to transfer your existing data to the new system.

  • Training: Web-based training is often included in your plan, but vendors might charge for in-person training.

  • Hardware and IT: This could be a major expense for on-premise software buyers who need their own servers.

  • Maintenance and upgrades: Some vendors charge for updates, patches, upgrades, and other maintenance activities.
