VETport vs Vetstar

VETport is a cloud-based veterinary practice management system for running veterinary practices. Its SOAP-based electronic medical records allow multiple veterinarians and staff to contribute to the same record at once. Practice tools include appointment scheduling, inventory, reporting and analytics, lab integration, and payment gateway integrations. Client-facing options include telemedicine, online appointment booking, a self check-in kiosk, communications, and reminders. Teams also get task management, internal chat, a bulletin board, and synchronization across time zones. The browser-based service works on web, Android, and iOS, and can be used on computers, phones, or tablets with an internet connection. Its marketplace offers more than 30 applications, with named connections including IDEXX, Antech, Gribbles, Abaxis, VetScan, and Zoetis. Pricing is based on veterinarian and location counts rather than user counts. The listed plan costs $1,405 a month for 3 locations and 10 vets, with no setup fee. A 30-day trial is available.
