CliniCore

Buyer’s guide · verified 1 September 2026

Veterinary practice management software in India, compared honestly

Read this first: we make one of these products.

CliniCore is ours. You should discount what we say about ourselves accordingly. What we can offer instead of neutrality is a rule we held to on every line below: nothing about another vendor appears here unless they publish it themselves, and where a vendor publishes no price, this page says so rather than guessing at one. We have also listed what each rival does better than us, including three things we do not have at all.

Seven systems, checked against each vendor’s own website on 1 September 2026. There is no ranking, because “best” depends entirely on whether you are a solo vet doing farm calls or a hospital running a lab — and those two clinics should buy different software.

Four questions that shorten the shortlist

Most software evaluations die in a feature spreadsheet nobody finishes. These four questions eliminate more options in ten minutes than a week of demos.

  1. 1. Does it do GST invoicing?

    Not “can it export to something that does” — does the invoice it produces have the right fields, the right codes, and tax computed on the post-discount base? Three of the seven systems here publish nothing about GST. If you are billing in India, that is a shorter conversation than any feature demo. What GST invoicing actually requires.

  2. 2. Is WhatsApp included, metered, or absent?

    Three answers, three very different bills. Absent means your staff copy-paste into their own phones forever. Metered means the reminders that recover overdue vaccinations cost you money each time you send them. Included means you can send every reminder that is due without thinking about it.

  3. 3. What does migration cost, in writing?

    Ask before you like the product, because after that you will rationalise the number. Ask about getting data out too. Most vendors on this page publish nothing on either — here is the checklist we would use.

  4. 4. Can you see the price without a sales call?

    This is not a moral test — plenty of good companies sell by quote, and enterprise software is genuinely hard to price off a page. But a demo-gated price means the number can depend on how you answered the discovery questions, and you will never know whether it did.

The shortlist at a glance

Prices are what each vendor publishes on their own site as of 1 September 2026, with one clearly-marked third-party exception.

The seven, in detail

Koko

Best for: Indian clinics that want one Indian vendor covering clinic, lab and pet-parent app

Price: Not published — quote after a demo

Try before buying: Free 30-minute demo; no trial stated

India fit: Built for India. GST invoicing, WhatsApp reminders, Indian company.

Strengths

  • · Broad, coherent Indian PIMS: appointments, SOAP notes, prescriptions, GST invoices tied to inventory batches and expiry, purchase orders, lab reports
  • · Real AI — patient-history summaries, plain-language lab-report summaries, treatment templates, reorder suggestions
  • · A pet-parent app and a product-refill flow that keeps food and medicine orders at the clinic
  • · Koko Labs, a separate lab-management product for diagnostic labs
  • · Unlimited staff users on every plan, no per-seat charge

Watch-outs

  • · No rupee figure published anywhere we could find — the only route to a price is a demo
  • · Stated model is a one-time onboarding fee plus monthly billing based on WhatsApp message usage, which means your bill rises with the reminders that recover revenue
  • · Nothing published about migrating your existing data in

PetAladdin

Best for: Solo vets and small clinics who want the lowest published entry price in India

Price: ₹999 / ₹1,999 / ₹2,999 per month, published

Try before buying: Free trial available on the Solo plan; demo for higher tiers

India fit: India-focused. Rupee pricing, WhatsApp and SMS notifications, multi-branch.

Strengths

  • · Publishes its full tier structure in both rupees and dollars — rare in this category
  • · ₹999/month Solo tier is the effective price floor for a real Indian PIMS
  • · Covers the core well: appointments, EMR, prescriptions, vaccination and deworming reminders, billing, POS, inventory with batches and purchase orders
  • · Add-ons are itemised and priced (extra doctor ₹499/mo, extra staff user ₹249/mo)

Watch-outs

  • · Tiers are capped by doctors and staff users, so the real cost climbs as the team grows
  • · WhatsApp is pay-as-you-go and charged separately from the subscription
  • · No AI features marketed on the site

Vetlify

Best for: Clinics that want an Indian vendor, Indian data hosting, and a low monthly figure

Price: ₹1,000 / ₹2,000 per month, plus a ₹22,500 one-time registration fee, published

Try before buying: 7-day free trial, no credit card

India fit: Made in India, with data stored on Indian cloud servers.

Strengths

  • · Publishes both the monthly price and the registration fee, which is more disclosure than most
  • · Explicit data-ownership stance: data encrypted, stored on Indian servers, never sold
  • · WhatsApp messaging to pet owners, vaccination tracking with automated alerts
  • · AI treatment suggestions on the Pro plan, described as a symptom-analysis engine

Watch-outs

  • · The ₹22,500 one-time registration fee is a substantial upfront cost — over a first year the Basic plan works out well above its ₹1,000 monthly headline
  • · The seven-day trial is short for evaluating whether software survives a busy week
  • · AI is aimed at clinical suggestions rather than at billing or revenue

VETport

Best for: Practices that want maximum feature breadth from an established global vendor

Price: Not published — quote on request

Try before buying: A trial is referenced in their pricing FAQ; the published route is a demo or enquiry

India fit: Sells into India (an India phone line is listed) but publishes no GST, WhatsApp or rupee pricing.

Strengths

  • · The broadest published feature list here: telemedicine, online booking, self check-in kiosk, wellness plans, task manager, internal chat, multiple time zones
  • · Lab integrations, several payment gateways, and a marketplace of 30+ integrations
  • · Long-established with a real support organisation and a global customer base
  • · Now ships an AI scribe through a partner product, Coggo — free to start, paid plans for unlimited notes

Watch-outs

  • · No published price, and pricing is described as depending on practice size, location and vet count
  • · No GST, WhatsApp or India-specific functionality published as of September 2026
  • · The AI scribe is a separate service layered on top, and publishes no charge-capture capability

Digitail

Best for: Practices outside India that want the deepest AI stack in the category

Price: Not published on their site; Capterra lists a starting price of $289 per month per user

Try before buying: One month free on the AI scribe and AI assistant features within paid plans

India fit: No India localisation published — no GST, no WhatsApp, no rupee pricing.

Strengths

  • · The most substantial AI layer of any vendor here — described as 20+ AI workflows across client-facing, clinical and practice-manager roles
  • · Voice to Invoice analyses the synced clinical note and recommends invoice lines, marketed as “never miss a charge”
  • · AI concierge handles triage, booking, prescription refills, check-ins and intake forms
  • · In-house expert-led data migration, 1:1 onboarding, 24/7 chat and email support
  • · A well-regarded pet-parent app

Watch-outs

  • · Four tiers are named but no figures are published; a demo is the route to a price
  • · The widely-cited $289 figure is Capterra's third-party listing, not Digitail's own statement, and is described as per user
  • · Nothing published about GST or WhatsApp, which is decisive for an Indian practice

ezyVet

Best for: Large, multi-modality practices — emergency, specialty, equine, corporate groups, universities

Price: From $260.50 per month, published, with implementation quoted separately

Try before buying: No self-serve trial published; demo or custom quote

India fit: No India localisation published — no GST, no WhatsApp, no rupee pricing.

Strengths

  • · Publishes a starting price, which puts it ahead of most of this field on transparency
  • · Purpose-built workflows for general practice, emergency, specialty, equine, corporate groups, universities, production animal and mobile vets
  • · Monthly price includes 24/7 support, hosting and all feature upgrades
  • · Dedicated implementation and data-conversion teams

Watch-outs

  • · Their FAQ states plainly that “monthly pricing does not include our implementation” — the real first-year cost needs a scoping conversation
  • · The published entry price is several times the top of the Indian market's range
  • · No AI scribe or charge-capture capability published as of September 2026

CliniCore

This one is ours

Best for: One-to-four vet Indian clinics that suspect they are losing money to charges nobody billed

Price: ₹1,999 / ₹3,499 / ₹4,999 per month, published, flat per clinic

Try before buying: 14 days, full product, no credit card, no demo call

India fit: Built for India first. GST-aware invoicing, WhatsApp included and never metered, rupee pricing.

Strengths

  • · AI reads the clinical note, prescriptions and labs at end of day and lists work that never reached an invoice
  • · AI clinical scribe turns dictation into a structured SOAP note, which is what makes the revenue scan possible
  • · WhatsApp prescriptions, invoices, reminders and an end-of-day owner report, with per-message delivery status, included in the plan fee
  • · Batch and expiry tracking with FEFO dispensing and inter-branch transfer suggestions
  • · Free self-serve Excel/CSV migration for owners, pets, medicines and vaccinations, on every plan
  • · Free for verified NGOs and animal-welfare organisations

Where we fall short

  • · We are early and pre-first-customer — there are no independent reviews of us to read, and that is a real reason to be cautious
  • · No pet-parent app, no telemedicine, no lab-management product, no specialty or equine workflows
  • · No AI patient-history summary or lab interpretation, which Koko and Digitail both have

This is not every system sold in India, and a vendor’s absence here is not a judgement on it. If you are evaluating something we have missed and want it added, tell us. Each product named above is a trademark of its owner and is named here only to identify the product being compared.

If we had to choose for you

Since we sell one of these, take the following as a starting point rather than a verdict. But an evaluation that ends in “it depends” has wasted your afternoon, so here is a position.

Solo vet, mostly farm calls, mostly cash

Start with PetAladdin’s ₹999 Solo tier, or stay on paper a while longer. At your volume, software earns its keep on the things you cannot hold in your head, and you can still hold your practice in your head. Our honest paper-versus-software comparison argues both sides.

One-to-four vet Indian clinic, busy OPD, growing pharmacy

This is who we built CliniCore for, so treat the recommendation accordingly. The honest test is whether missed charges are actually your problem: if your monthly collection times five percent is a number that stings, the AI revenue scan is worth paying for. If it is not, Koko and PetAladdin will both run your clinic perfectly well and one of them will be cheaper.

Indian clinic that also runs or refers heavily into a lab

Look hard at Koko. Koko Labs is a real second product with AI lab-report interpretation, and having the lab and the clinic on one vendor is worth something we cannot offer. We handle lab reports as attachments to the record, and that is the whole of it.

Practice outside India that wants the most AI available

Digitail. Their AI layer is deeper than ours and their Voice to Invoice targets the same problem our revenue scan does. Our advantage over them is India-specific — GST, WhatsApp, published rupee pricing — which is worth nothing to you if you practise in Ohio.

Multi-vet hospital with emergency, specialty or equine caseload

ezyVet or VETport. Both have depth in those workflows that we do not have and are not building. Get the implementation figure in writing before you compare monthly prices, because that is where the two quotes will actually differ.
