What the pricing really means
At first glance, Halaxy looks cheaper at $0/month vs $0/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 Charm Health wins
- Free tier handles 50 encounters/month with no time limit
- Pay-per-encounter model at $0.50 each is unique and budget-friendly for low-volume practices
- MU3-certified EHR with 256-bit encryption
- Full insurance billing with ERA/EOB posting included
Where Halaxy wins
- Core platform is genuinely free with unlimited practitioners, locations, and appointments, which no competitor matches
- 700+ built-in clinical templates means you likely do not need to build forms from scratch for your specialty
- No caps on file storage or patient records, so you never hit a wall as your practice grows
- Pay-as-you-go model means you only spend money on SMS, telehealth, or AI features you actually use
Where Charm Health falls short
- Only 9 G2 reviews with a 3.5 rating suggests limited market presence
- Telehealth is a $20/mo add-on, not included in base price
- AI Scribe costs $125/provider/mo on top of everything else
- E-prescribing and EPCS are separate add-ons totaling $265+/year
Where Halaxy falls short
- Not HIPAA-certified for US users, which makes it a non-starter for US-based practices handling protected health information
- Credit-based pricing for SMS, telehealth, and AI features makes monthly costs unpredictable and hard to budget
- Australian-focused platform with limited US insurance billing, clearinghouse connections, or superbill generation
- Thin review presence on major platforms like G2 and Capterra, so independent validation is harder to find
