What each scope tier includes
Every calculator starts from one of three baselines. This is what separates them.
| Scope | Baseline | Typical shape |
|---|---|---|
| MVP | $35K | Narrowest useful release — one workflow, one user type, launched fast. |
| Standard | $75K | The common case: multiple roles, reporting, and the integrations most buyers expect. |
| Advanced | $150K | Multi-site or enterprise scope, deeper interoperability and heavier non-functional requirements. |
Baselines are before feature adders, compliance programmes, integrations and the platform, design and team-location multipliers. The headline range for this calculator is $35K–$180K. See how the numbers are built.
Frequently asked questions
How much does healthcare scheduling software cost to build?
A single-location booking app with reminders costs $35,000–$65,000. A multi-provider system with a rules engine, waitlist and EHR sync costs $75,000–$150,000. Enterprise scheduling across many locations and service lines runs $150,000–$260,000.
Why is the availability rules engine the expensive part?
At about $16,000 it is the most-used and most-edited component: appointment types with different durations, provider templates, buffers, double-booking rules, room and equipment constraints, and insurance-based routing. Teams that under-invest here usually pay $10,000–$25,000 to rewrite it within the first year.
What do appointment reminders cost to run?
The $9,000 build cost covers scheduling, templates and opt-out handling. Running costs are usage-based: roughly $0.008–$0.02 per SMS and $0.013–$0.03 per minute for voice. A practice sending 10,000 reminders a month spends about $100–$200 monthly, typically against a no-show reduction worth far more.
