What the pricing really means
At first glance, Alma looks cheaper at $125/month vs $249/month. But sticker price is only part of the story. Look at what is included on the base plan, how many users you get, and whether you need add-ons to get the features you actually need. The $99/month plan that requires $200 in add-ons is actually more expensive than the $250/month plan that includes everything.
Where Alma wins
- Flat $125/mo includes insurance credentialing that normally takes months and costs thousands
- Built-in referral network sends clients directly to your profile
- AI Note Assist for session recording and transcription
- Handles both insurance and out-of-pocket billing in one place
Where Weave wins
- 4.6 G2 rating with 426 reviews is highest in category for communication tools
- VoIP phones with missed call texting means you never lose a new patient inquiry
- Integrates with 70+ existing practice management systems
- Text-to-pay gets you paid faster than mailing statements
Where Alma falls short
- Must credential with Aetna, Cigna, or Optum — no flexibility to pick other panels
- No group practice support (individual memberships only)
- No mobile app, web-based only
- 3.6 Capterra rating with only 26 reviews is concerning
Where Weave falls short
- NOT an EHR or practice management system — it's a communication layer on top of your existing software
- Starting at $249/mo plus $750 setup makes it expensive for what it does
- Scheduling and digital forms locked behind Elite tier
- No telehealth or clinical features at all
