Ask us on WhatsAppDoctor commission and revenue-share models in clinic software mean the platform earns a percentage or a per-appointment fee from the clinic's consultations, instead of a fixed licence price. The main variants are booking-marketplace commissions, per-appointment fees, and revenue share on collections. Each looks cheap at low volume and expensive at scale.
Three usage-linked models, and one flat licence fee as the reference point.
At 1,000 appointments a month and a ₹500 average fee, collections are ₹5,00,000 a month.
| Model | Illustrative rate | Monthly cost | Annual cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Marketplace commission on sourced bookings | 10% of fee on 300 marketplace bookings | ₹15,000 | ₹1,80,000 |
| Per-appointment fee | ₹20 per appointment, all 1,000 | ₹20,000 | ₹2,40,000 |
| Revenue share on collections | 5% of ₹5,00,000 collected | ₹25,000 | ₹3,00,000 |
| Flat annual fee (CuraVerto Pro tier) | ₹24,999 per year, unlimited doctors | About ₹2,083 | ₹24,999 |
At this volume, every usage-linked model costs a multiple of a flat licence, and the gap widens as the clinic grows. CuraVerto's Pro tier at ₹24,999 per year works out to roughly ₹2 per appointment. A revenue share also taxes your pricing decisions: if the clinic raises its consultation fee, the platform's take rises automatically.
Sometimes: when the platform brings genuinely new patients the clinic would not have reached otherwise.
A practical middle path: use a marketplace deliberately for discovery, and move booking for existing patients onto a channel the clinic owns. CuraVerto's WhatsApp booking bot exists for this, with utility template messages metered at ₹0.15 per message.
Practo Ray's fee is a standard payment-processing charge, not a percentage of consultation revenue the way a marketplace commission works.
Clinics evaluating it should confirm the current payment-processing rate and any other charges directly with the vendor before signing.
Doctor commission also means what a clinic owes its own associate and visiting doctors. The two are opposite sides of the same word.
Four questions, asked of any platform, surface the true cost fastest.
For clinics that conclude a flat fee suits them better: CuraVerto charges a flat annual fee per tier, excluding GST, with no commission on consultations and no per-doctor fee.
A revenue share model means the software or platform takes a percentage of the clinic's consultation collections instead of, or in addition to, a fixed licence fee. The entry cost looks low, but the charge scales directly with the clinic's own revenue: the more patients the clinic sees, the more it pays. Related variants include per-appointment booking fees and commissions on marketplace-sourced patients.
At 1,000 appointments a month with an average consultation fee of ₹500, monthly collections are ₹5,00,000. An illustrative 5 percent revenue share costs ₹25,000 a month, or ₹3,00,000 a year. An illustrative ₹20 per-appointment fee costs ₹20,000 a month, or ₹2,40,000 a year. CuraVerto's flat annual licence at ₹24,999 costs the same clinic roughly ₹2 per appointment over the year.
No. CuraVerto charges a flat annual fee per clinic tier, excluding GST, and takes no commission on consultations and no per-doctor fee. CuraVerto's Essential tier is ₹9,999 per year, Pro is ₹24,999 per year with unlimited doctors, and Plus is ₹49,999 per year with 3 branches included. The clinic's software cost stays the same whether it books 200 appointments a month or 2,000.
When the platform delivers genuinely new patients the clinic would not have reached otherwise. A commission on a first visit from a new patient is a customer-acquisition cost, and it can be a fair one. The model stops making sense when repeat visits from the clinic's own established patients are routed through the platform and charged the same commission, because the clinic is then paying to be introduced to people it already knows.
Practo Ray charges a 1.8–2% Ray Payment Solution fee on payments processed through it, a standard payment-processing charge, not a percentage of consultation revenue. Its published plans run ₹999–₹1,999/month. Clinics should confirm current commercial terms directly with the vendor before signing.
CuraVerto charges a flat annual fee with no commission on consultations and no per-doctor fee. Compare the two models line by line, including what happens to your cost as appointment volume grows.
