What the pricing really means
At first glance, Charm Health looks cheaper at $0/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 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 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 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 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
