Both target mid-market home health agencies. The honest differences come down to pricing transparency, the mobile / auth stack, and how AI is positioned for the post-Amedisys OIG enforcement environment.

Where Carelytic wins
Carelytic publishes Starter ($350/mo), Professional ($999/mo), and Enterprise (from $2,499/mo) with active-client caps and onboarding fees. Alora pricing is quote-based. For mid-market agencies evaluating both, the published model removes a step from the procurement process.
Installable PWA with offline outbox, voice dictation, signature canvas, mileage auto-calc — plus WebAuthn passkeys, trusted-device second factor, and WebCrypto-encrypted offline chart drafts. The mobile experience and the security posture are both built on 2025-2026 web stack, not retrofitted.
Carelytic's AI Coding Review cites the chart text it found and is explicitly never framed as 'maximize reimbursement.' For agencies watching OIG enforcement after Amedisys ($150M, 2024) and Kaiser ($556M, 2026), that positioning is core, not a disclaimer.
Billing, EVV, PDGM, payroll, eligibility, fax, AI — all included on Starter. No 'billing module' add-on, no Premium-tier features. With Alora, confirm in your quote which capabilities are in your tier vs scoped separately.
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 Alora.
