Compare
Both are modern, cloud-based platforms — so the UI-generation gap that defines other comparisons isn't the story here. The real difference is depth on US Medicare home health PDGM, pricing transparency, and AI positioning.

Where Carelytic wins
Carelytic's entire data model is US Medicare home health: 432 HHRGs with CY2026 weights, ~75K ICD-10 crosswalk codes, Grouper Preview, LUPA Risk, NOA Tracker, HIPPS-injected episode claims, OASIS-E2 across all six CMS timepoints. If Medicare home health is your core business, that depth is the difference.
Carelytic lists Starter / Professional / Enterprise pricing. AlayaCare pricing is quote-based. For a US agency that wants to budget before an evaluation, the published model is a real advantage.
Carelytic's AI Coding Review is explicitly engineered and marketed as compliance-safe — it cites chart evidence and never frames itself as reimbursement maximization. For US agencies watching OIG enforcement, that positioning matters.
Billing, EVV, PDGM, payroll, eligibility, fax, AI — all included on Starter. No module map. Confirm AlayaCare's scope-by-tier in your quote.
Carelytic ships WebAuthn / passkey login — Touch ID, Face ID, Windows Hello, hardware keys — plus a trusted-device second factor and offline chart drafts encrypted with WebCrypto. Most home health platforms still rely on TOTP-on-every-login. That gap matters as more agencies treat clinical software as a real security surface.
Why agencies switch
Most agencies don't switch platforms casually — it's a real project. These are the triggers we hear most often from agencies that moved off AlayaCare.

Both are modern, cloud-based platforms, so this isn't a legacy-vs-modern comparison. The meaningful differences are focus and transparency: Carelytic is purpose-built for US Medicare home health PDGM with published pricing and OIG-safe AI, while AlayaCare has strong roots in home care, scheduling, and telehealth across multiple markets.
For agencies whose core business is US Medicare home health, Carelytic's depth is built specifically for that: 432 HHRGs with CY2026 weights, Grouper Preview, LUPA Risk, NOA Tracker, HIPPS-injected episode claims, and OASIS-E2 across all six CMS timepoints. AlayaCare supports home health but its strengths also span home care and telehealth — evaluate based on what your core business is.
Carelytic publishes its pricing: Starter $350/mo, Professional $999/mo, Enterprise from $2,499/mo. AlayaCare pricing is quote-based and not published, so a direct comparison requires a quote scoped to your agency.
