Understand Accurx's pricing and whether there are alternatives that can save you money.
Yes, Accurx is expensive. The cost for their full package for GP practices comes in at over £1 per patient based on their published G-Cloud13 pricing - meaning it is only very slightly cheaper than EMIS and Systm1 themselves. If a typical practice of 10,000 patient population seeks to buy Accurx directly, with all functionality included, they'll be paying nearly £13,000.
Accurx has a number of venture-capital investors, having raised £30M of investment at a ~£400M valuation. To justify this, they need to extract substantial revenues from their customers.
Yes, Hero Health is a substantially cheaper alternative to Accurx, offering the same core functionality of Messaging, Care Navigation Triage and Appointment Booking. Hero is a family owned business, and integrates with EMIS and Systm1.
Accurx are relatively hidden about their pricing on their website, however their pricing can be viewed on their G-Cloud13 government framework documentation.

From the individual module pricing:
We can add the costs together:
Based on these prices, the total cost for a practice with 10,000 patients, including both bundles and Self-Book, would be £12,140 per year or £1.21 per patient
