iHospital365 details on this page come from our own feature and pricing pages and are current. Competitor details are only listed where the vendor publishes them publicly; where a vendor does not publish something, this table says so rather than guessing. Product capabilities and pricing change — verify anything that matters to your decision on the vendor's own site before you decide. Competitor names and trademarks belong to their respective owners, and this page is not affiliated with or endorsed by them.
What to ask DocPulse before you sign
Ask us the same seven. Compare the answers you get in writing — that is a more useful comparison than any vendor's table, including ours.
- 1
Is your pricing per doctor, per user, per bed or per facility — and what does it become when we add three consultants next year?
- 2
What exactly is included in the quoted plan, and which of pharmacy, IPD, theatre and accounting are chargeable extras?
- 3
Are implementation, staff training, support and version upgrades inside the annual price or billed separately?
- 4
Which ABDM Sandbox milestones have you cleared, in sandbox or in production, and can you demonstrate it live?
- 5
Where is our patient data stored, who on your side can access it, and what happens to it if we leave?
- 6
Do you hold any security certification today, or is it a roadmap item?
- 7
Is there a trial, and can we run it on our own workflows before signing?

Looking for a DocPulse alternative in India?
Practices comparing DocPulse with other Indian hospital management systems generally want to know what the total annual cost becomes at their size, and whether one system can cover outpatient, pharmacy and inpatient work. Here is iHospital365's answer, and what to verify with both vendors.
How to compare DocPulse and iHospital365 properly
The comparison table on this page is deliberately half-empty, and that is the point. We publish what iHospital365 does, sourced from our own feature and pricing pages. We do not publish claims about DocPulse's features or pricing that we cannot point to on their own website — vendors change plans, and a confidently wrong comparison table helps nobody making a real buying decision.
So use this page as a checklist rather than a verdict. Take the questions below to DocPulse, take the same questions to us, and compare the answers you get in writing.
The differences we will state plainly
There are three things about iHospital365 we are confident stating without knowing any competitor's current terms, because they are structural rather than comparative.
- Pricing is published. Every plan and add-on price is on the website — you do not need a sales call to learn what it costs.
- Pricing is per facility, not per user. Unlimited doctors and unlimited staff users on every plan, so growth does not raise the bill.
- We publish what we do not do. No security certification, no uptime SLA, and ABDM integration is roadmap rather than live — all stated on the site, not discovered after signing.
Switching an HMS is mostly a data and training problem
Whatever you decide, budget for the parts that are not the licence: exporting patient history from the incumbent, retraining staff who have muscle memory in the old system, and a period where both systems run in parallel. Ask any vendor — including us — exactly what they will do for each of those three, and get it in the proposal.
iHospital365 includes unlimited staff users on every plan, so at least the retraining half carries no per-seat cost, and there is a 7-day trial to test the workflow fit before committing.
Frequently asked questions
What is a good DocPulse alternative for Indian hospitals?
That depends entirely on which modules you need and how you want to be charged. iHospital365 is worth a look if published, per-facility pricing with unlimited doctors and staff users matters to you, and if you want OPD, EMR, pharmacy, IPD and GST billing on one patient record. Compare the specifics against DocPulse's current published terms rather than against any vendor's comparison page — including this one.
Why does this page not list DocPulse's features and prices?
Because we could not source them from DocPulse's own public material at the time of writing, and we will not guess. Where a competitor publishes a detail, we will add it with a link. Where they do not, this table says "not publicly published" rather than inventing a row that makes us look good.
What does iHospital365 cost?
Flat annual pricing per facility: Smart OPD at ₹18,000/yr, Clinic Suite at ₹24,000/yr and Full Hospital Suite at ₹60,000/yr, with pharmacy, IPD + OT and accounting also available as individual add-on modules. Unlimited doctors and staff users on every plan. All prices exclusive of 18% GST.
Can we migrate our existing patient data?
Bring your current export format to the demo call and the team will tell you what can be migrated and what cannot. We would rather scope that honestly before you commit than discover it during rollout.
Is there a trial?
Yes — a 7-day trial so you can run iHospital365 against your own workflows before paying.
