The price of hospital management software in India varies enormously — from a few thousand rupees a month for a small clinic to lakhs a year for a large multi-specialty hospital. Most of that spread comes down to three things: hospital size, how many modules you actually need, and whether the pricing model is flat or metered. This guide breaks down the realistic cost by hospital size, and what actually pushes the price up.
Typical pricing by hospital size
| Hospital size | Typical monthly cost (cloud) | Typical annual cost |
|---|---|---|
| Small clinic (5–25 beds) | ₹2,000 – ₹8,000 | ₹50,000 – ₹3 lakh |
| Medium hospital (25–100 beds) | ₹8,000 – ₹25,000 | ₹3 lakh – ₹12 lakh |
| Large hospital (100–300 beds) | ₹15,000 – ₹30,000+ | ₹1.5 lakh – ₹5 lakh+ |
These figures are for cloud (SaaS) hospital software with standard modules. Custom-built or heavily on-premise systems generally cost several times more, both to build initially and to maintain year to year.
What actually drives the price
- Number of modules — OPD-only is cheapest; adding IPD, pharmacy, lab, radiology, insurance and staff scheduling each typically adds to the bill.
- Pricing model — flat monthly pricing is predictable; per-bed or per-user metering can look cheap at first and become expensive as the hospital grows.
- Number of users — some vendors charge per login; others allow unlimited staff accounts under one flat plan.
- Implementation & training — a one-time cost, sometimes bundled, sometimes billed separately.
- Support & SLAs — 24/7 support and guaranteed uptime commitments often cost more than basic business-hours support.
Cloud vs. on-premise
Cloud-based (SaaS) hospital software is the default choice for most small and mid-size Indian hospitals today — no server hardware to buy, automatic updates, and a predictable monthly cost. It also makes multi-location access simpler, since staff can log in from any branch. On-premise systems still get chosen by some large hospitals for internal IT-policy or data-residency reasons, but they come with meaningfully higher upfront hardware and maintenance cost.
Ask about hidden costs before signing
A simple way to budget
Start from what the hospital actually needs on day one — usually OPD, billing and pharmacy for a smaller facility, or OPD+IPD+pharmacy+lab for anything running inpatient care — and price that. Modular platforms let a hospital add lab, radiology, OT, insurance or staff scheduling later without re-platforming, so there's little value in paying for modules that won't be used for a year or more. What else to evaluate beyond price is in our buyer's checklist for choosing hospital software.
Flat vs per-bed pricing: why the model matters more than the number
The cheapest quote on day one is often the most expensive system two years in. The reason is the pricing model. Per-bed and per-user pricing looks small when you start and climbs every time you add a bed or a login. Flat pricing stays the same as you grow. A quick example for a hospital going from 30 to 60 beds:
| Model | At 30 beds | At 60 beds |
|---|---|---|
| Per-bed (say ₹400/bed) | ₹12,000/mo | ₹24,000/mo |
| Flat plan | Same | Same |
With per-bed pricing your software bill doubles just because the hospital grew. That is why we always say to ask exactly what raises the fee — beds, users, patients, locations or modules — before you sign anything.
What Uyirly costs
Uyirly uses simple flat monthly pricing with no per-bed and no per-user fees, starting at ₹2,999 a month, and every plan comes with a 30-day free trial and no credit card. A small clinic and a large hospital each pay for the plan they need, not for every bed or login. You can see the current plans on the pricing page, or start a free trial and judge it on your own hospital first.
