ANKOTA vs AxisCare

ANKOTA provides software for organizations delivering home care, electronic visit verification (EVV), adult day services, self-direction, and long-term supports for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Its home care platform combines client and caregiver management, care plans, scheduling, documentation, billing, payroll calculations, and compliance tools. Caregivers can record visits through a GPS mobile app, voice telephony, or fixed beacons; the app can operate offline and sync when coverage returns. Scheduling includes recurring shifts, open-shift filling, appointment and assessment scheduling, and route optimization. The Cares offering describes authorization management, Medicaid claims and remittance through EDI, and accounts receivable management. Caregiver and family apps support schedules, communications, visit details, and updates. The public API can accept operational data, and listed integrations include QuickBooks, BambooHR, Viventium, and Paylocity. The FMS app is available on iOS, Android, and the web. Pricing is available on request; an older product overview says fees depend on agency size and telephony fees are additional. ANKOTA says its software uses encryption and is HIPAA compliant.
