CareFree vs eCaring

CareFree is cloud software for homecare agencies, combining rostering, care management, staff administration, compliance and finance. The RoadRunner mobile app gives carers real-time weekly rotas, GPS or NFC arrival and departure logging, call notes, medication prompts, visit tasks, body maps, care plans and wellbeing monitoring. Missed calls, missing log-outs and non-administered medication can alert the office. CareFree Ci supports live creation of care plans, assessments, supervisions and related documents, plus drag-and-drop forms with text, choices, dropdowns, photos, audio or video. Staff tools cover training, credentials, holidays, absences, messaging, SMS, matching availability and scheduling preferences. Finance includes wage and invoice reports linked to rotas, mileage, minimum-wage checks and holiday pay. Compliance features include reports, logs, audit trails, qualification and DBS tracking, and incident records. OnCall provides web access to rosters, schedules and care plans. Android, iOS and web platforms are supported. Pricing is on request.

eCaring is home care agency management software for non-medical agencies working across Medicaid, private pay, long-term care insurance, and Veterans Affairs programs. It connects scheduling, authorizations, EVV, care documentation, billing, payroll, and caregiver communication. Its scheduling engine scores caregiver-client pairings using availability, preferences, location, past care, margins, and overtime. Auto Shift Verification checks visits against agency rules for times, tasks, signatures, and geofence compliance, routing exceptions for manual review. Billing handles payor-specific claims and files, private-pay invoices, and authorization checks, and flags visits that fail payor or EVV requirements. Agencies can configure services, rates, rounding rules, procedure codes, and billing requirements by payor. Caregivers can use the Android and iOS app for offline EVV, GPS-verified clock-ins, visit details, and SMS alerts. A toll-free phone option lets caregivers without a cell phone clock in and out using the client’s phone. eCaring runs on Android, iOS, and the web. Its pricing page offers personalized pricing after a meeting, with no numeric price listed.
