A clinic opening its second or third branch asks a deceptively simple question: what will this cost per location? The honest answer is that the number depends entirely on the pricing model underneath the software, and the four vendors compared here use three structurally different ones — on-premise per-installation licensing, sales-led quotes with no published figure, and a flat per-branch add-on a clinic can compute itself before ever speaking to sales.
This article breaks down what multi-branch clinic software actually costs in India in 2026: the cost components that scale with branch count, what four widely compared vendors publish (or do not), a 3-year total cost of ownership for a 3-branch clinic, and exactly what each additional branch adds to the bill.
The cost components that scale with branch count
1. Licensing model: per installation, per quote, or per branch add-on
This is the number that determines everything else. On-premise software is licensed per physical installation, so the licence fee multiplies with every branch. Quote-based software has no published multiplier at all — a clinic cannot compute a multi-branch cost without a sales conversation. A flat per-branch add-on is the only model a clinic can price out on its own, in advance, for any branch count.
2. Annual maintenance or AMC
On-premise licences typically carry annual maintenance of 20–25% of the licence fee, and that percentage applies per installation, so it scales with branch count exactly like the licence itself.
3. Server hardware and IT per location
On-premise deployment needs a server and IT support at each branch, not one shared across the clinic. A recurring per-branch server-and-IT cost is separate from, and additional to, the licence and maintenance figures above.
4. Data consolidation across branches
A clinic running multiple branches needs one consolidated view alongside per-branch numbers. Where this is not natively supported, it is a spreadsheet someone rebuilds every month rather than a line item — an invisible cost that does not show up on any vendor's price list.
5. Renewal escalation
Annual price increases of 15–25% are common across Indian clinic software contracts, whether the underlying model is per-installation, per-doctor, or flat-fee. Multiply that escalation by branch count and the gap between vendors compounds every year, not just in year one.
What Indian clinic software vendors actually charge a multi-branch clinic
Only one of the four vendors below publishes a number a clinic can use to compute its own multi-branch cost in advance. The other three either scale per installation with no published multi-branch bundle, or require a sales quote with no public figure at all.
Sparta HMS — ₹2–5 lakh per installation + 20–25%/year maintenance
Sparta HMS is on-premise software, licensed at ₹2,00,000–₹5,00,000 per installation plus 20–25%/year maintenance, with a further ₹20,000–₹60,000/year in server and IT costs per location plus hardware. Sparta's own pricing entry does not present a discounted multi-branch bundle, so a clinic running three branches is licensing, maintaining, and staffing IT for three separate installations rather than one shared cost. Sparta's genuine advantage for a multi-branch clinic is that each installation runs on a local server, so a branch keeps working even if its internet connection does not.
MocDoc — quote-based, no published multi-branch tier
MocDoc's pricing is sales-led and module-dependent; independent aggregators report roughly ₹15,000 to ₹1,50,000+/year depending on modules, clinic size, and integrations, plus separate implementation costs. MocDoc does not publish a separate multi-branch pricing tier, so a multi-branch clinic cannot compute its own cost from MocDoc's public materials — a written quote is required.
DocPulse — quote-based, dedicated chain product but no published figure
DocPulse states it has a dedicated clinic-chain product line built for multi-branch groups, a genuine and specific strength for larger chains. But DocPulse's own pricing page is a request-a-quote form with no numbers listed anywhere, including for that chain-specific product line, so a multi-branch clinic still cannot price it out without a sales conversation.
CuraVerto — ₹9,999/year per additional branch, published
CuraVerto publishes a flat annual fee per tier with branches included, and a flat ₹9,999/year for each branch beyond that. CuraVerto Pro includes 1 branch at ₹24,999/year, and CuraVerto Plus includes 3 branches at ₹49,999/year, in both cases with unlimited doctors. A clinic can compute its exact multi-branch cost for any branch count from CuraVerto's published tiers alone, without a sales call.
Multi-branch pricing at a glance
The table below compares the same four platforms on what actually matters for a multi-branch decision: whether the cost model scales per installation or per branch, whether pricing is published at all, and whether a multi-branch-specific product exists.
| Software | Pricing model | Published multi-branch figure | Per-branch cost is computable in advance | Dedicated multi-branch product |
|---|
| CuraVerto | Flat annual tier + flat per-branch add-on | ✅ ₹9,999/year per additional branch | ✅ Yes, from public pricing | ⚠️ Same platform, branch-scoped |
| Sparta HMS | Per-installation on-premise licence | ❌ No multi-branch bundle published | ⚠️ Only by multiplying the single-installation figure | ❌ No |
| MocDoc | Quote-based, module-dependent | ❌ Not published | ❌ No | ❌ No |
| DocPulse | Quote-based | ❌ Not published, even for its own chain product | ❌ No | ✅ Yes, but unpriced |
The 3-year total cost of ownership for a 3-branch clinic
The number that matters for a budget decision is 3-year total cost of ownership, not the headline licence or annual fee. Here is how the four compare for a clinic running 3 branches, using each vendor's own published figures wherever one exists.
Sparta HMS (3 on-premise installations)
Three installations at ₹2,00,000–₹5,00,000 each come to ₹6,00,000–₹15,00,000 in upfront licensing alone — this is an extrapolation of Sparta's published single-installation figure, since Sparta does not publish its own multi-branch bundle. Add 20–25%/year maintenance on that licence total (₹1,20,000–₹3,75,000/year) and ₹20,000–₹60,000/year in server and IT costs per branch (₹60,000–₹1,80,000/year for three), and year-one alone totals roughly ₹7,80,000–₹20,55,000 — six figures at the low end of Sparta's range, stretching into seven figures at the high end — before any hardware refresh.
MocDoc and DocPulse (3-branch clinic)
Neither vendor publishes a multi-branch pricing tier, so no 3-year TCO can be computed from public sources for either — a written quote is required for both, and the plan's own guidance is not to assert a number neither vendor has published.
CuraVerto Plus (3 branches included)
CuraVerto Plus costs ₹49,999 in year one, with all 3 branches included and unlimited doctors. With a 10% renewal escalation, CuraVerto costs ₹54,999 in year two and ₹60,499 in year three. CuraVerto's three-year TCO for this 3-branch clinic comes to approximately ₹1,65,497 — against Sparta's upfront licensing alone of ₹6,00,000–₹15,00,000, before Sparta's recurring maintenance and per-branch server costs are even added.
These figures use published pricing wherever a vendor publishes it, and are flagged as not computable where a vendor does not (MocDoc, DocPulse). The structural point holds regardless of the exact numbers: an on-premise licence compounds per installation, a quote-based model cannot be priced without a sales call, and a flat per-branch add-on is the only one of the three a clinic can compute on its own.
What does each additional branch actually cost on CuraVerto?
CuraVerto Pro includes 1 branch at ₹24,999/year, and CuraVerto Plus includes 3 branches at ₹49,999/year; each additional branch beyond either tier is the same flat ₹9,999/year, and CuraVerto charges no per-doctor fee at any branch count, so the branch add-on is the only number that changes as a chain grows.
Frequently asked questions
How much does multi-branch clinic software cost in India?
It depends entirely on the pricing model. Sparta HMS is on-premise and licensed per installation at ₹2,00,000–₹5,00,000 plus 20–25%/year maintenance, so a multi-branch clinic multiplies that per location. MocDoc and DocPulse are both quote-based with no published multi-branch pricing tier. CuraVerto publishes a flat annual fee: the Plus tier at ₹49,999/year includes 3 branches, with each additional branch at ₹9,999/year.
Does Sparta HMS charge per branch for a multi-branch clinic?
Sparta HMS's published figure is per installation — a ₹2,00,000–₹5,00,000 on-premise licence plus 20–25%/year maintenance — and on-premise software is installed at each physical location. Sparta's own pricing entry does not present a discounted multi-branch bundle, so a clinic running three branches is licensing, maintaining, and staffing IT for three separate installations.
Do MocDoc and DocPulse publish multi-branch pricing?
No. Both MocDoc and DocPulse price on a sales-led, quote basis with no published multi-branch tier. DocPulse states it has a dedicated clinic-chain product line for multi-branch groups, but its own pricing page is a request-a-quote form with no numbers listed anywhere, including for that product line. MocDoc's pricing is also sales-led; independent aggregators report a wide range depending on modules and clinic size, with no separate multi-branch figure.
What does each additional branch cost on CuraVerto?
CuraVerto charges ₹9,999 per year for each branch beyond what a tier includes, with no other multi-branch fee. CuraVerto Pro includes 1 branch at ₹24,999/year; CuraVerto Plus includes 3 branches at ₹49,999/year. CuraVerto charges a Plus-tier clinic opening a fourth branch ₹49,999 plus ₹9,999, that is ₹59,998/year total, for unlimited doctors across all four locations.
What is the 3-year cost difference between on-premise and cloud multi-branch software?
For a 3-branch clinic, three Sparta HMS on-premise installations run ₹6,00,000–₹15,00,000 in upfront licensing alone, before maintenance, server hardware, or IT. CuraVerto's Plus tier includes all 3 branches at ₹49,999 in year one, and with a 10% renewal increase CuraVerto's three-year total comes to approximately ₹1,65,497 — a fraction of Sparta's upfront licensing cost alone, let alone its recurring maintenance.
The honest summary
For a multi-branch clinic, the pricing model matters more than any single number quoted today. On-premise licensing multiplies per installation and adds a recurring maintenance and IT cost at every location. A quote-based model cannot be priced at all without a sales call, for MocDoc or for DocPulse's own dedicated chain product. A flat per-branch add-on is the only one of the three a clinic can compute for any branch count before ever speaking to a vendor. Ask each vendor for the exact all-in figure at your real branch count, in writing, and ask specifically whether that figure already includes maintenance, server, and IT costs, or whether those are separate line items still to come.
