Both run a home health agency end to end. The real difference is pricing transparency, whether core modules are included or sold as add-ons, and how modern the day-to-day experience feels for your clinicians.

Where Carelytic wins
Carelytic publishes Starter ($350/mo), Professional ($999/mo), and Enterprise (from $2,499/mo) with the active-client caps and onboarding fees. You can budget before you ever take a call. Axxess pricing is quote-based — you'll get the number through their sales process.
Billing, EVV, PDGM, payroll export, real-time eligibility, fax, and AI all ship in every Carelytic tier. There's no 'billing module' line item to add. With Axxess, confirm in your quote which capabilities are in your tier vs priced separately.
Carelytic's AI Coding Review flags specificity gaps and doc-vs-code mismatches and cites the chart text it found. It's explicitly not framed as 'maximize reimbursement' — the post-Amedisys enforcement line. That positioning is core to the product.
Carelytic was built in 2025-2026 on a current web stack. For agencies whose biggest adoption problem is clinicians fighting a dated UI, the day-to-day experience is the differentiator that actually moves the needle.
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 Axxess.
