Different weight classes
AlayaCare is a capable enterprise platform. Broad feature set, real clinical depth, strong analytics, and the kind of configurability that large multi-site organizations need.
That configurability is the trade. Enterprise platforms assume you have someone whose job includes configuring them. A four-home operator with eight DSPs and no full-time administrator does not have that person, and the flexibility becomes overhead rather than advantage.
We build for the agency without an administrator. That is a narrower product, deliberately.
Where the difference shows
Pricing transparency
AlayaCare is quote-based and unpublished. Our prices are on the website — you can compare without booking a call.
Time to live
Enterprise deployments run as implementation projects. We are about a week to go live and 30 days to fully transition, in parallel with whatever you use now.
Minnesota residential
245D, EUMR and VAMRA, MAARC-aligned incident reporting, 144G assisted living. Not an enterprise home care platform's focus.
Who answers support
A founder, at our current size. That stops being true above some scale and we would rather say so than pretend otherwise.
Analytics depth
AlayaCare wins this clearly. If cross-site reporting and custom dashboards matter, they are built for it.
Scale
Multi-site, multi-state, hundreds of staff — that is their territory, not ours.
Where AlayaCare is the better choice
Multi-site operations with centralised reporting across locations.
Deep analytics requirements — utilization modeling, outcome dashboards, cross-site benchmarking.
Custom integrations into payroll, HR or clinical systems you already run.
An administrator who owns the system. Configurable platforms reward having one and punish not having one.
If two or more of those describe you, book with them rather than us.
Where we think we win
Small residential and personal care agencies in Minnesota. One to a handful of homes, EVV compliance against the current 80% threshold, and documentation that has to survive a DHS or MDH survey.
Published flat pricing. No quote gate, no per-seat math, no surprise at renewal.
Speed. Live in about a week rather than a project plan.
Multiple licenses on one login. 245D and 144G together, which a lot of Minnesota operators need and currently pay two vendors for.

Who is AlayaCare built for?
AlayaCare is an enterprise home care platform with a broad feature set, strong clinical documentation and analytics, used by larger multi-site organizations. Pricing is quote-based and not published.
What does AlayaCare cost?
AlayaCare does not publish pricing. Third-party directories describe it as quote-based and positioned at the enterprise end, typically with implementation projects rather than self-serve onboarding. Ask them directly.
What does Sothcare cost?
Published: $199/mo Group Home or Assisted Living, $399 Non-Medical Personal Care, $519 Skilled Home Health, unlimited staff accounts. A one-time implementation fee applies and varies by service line.
Does AlayaCare cover Minnesota 245D?
AlayaCare is a home care platform. Minnesota 245D residential documentation — EUMR, VAMRA, ISP notes, MAARC-aligned incident reporting — is not its focus. That is ours.
Which should a small agency choose?
If you have under about 25 staff and mainly need documentation, EVV and billing that work without a configuration project, we think we fit better. If you are a multi-site organization needing deep analytics and custom integrations, AlayaCare is built for that and we are not.
