How VetSoftwareHub approaches pricing information.
Some vendors publish full price tables, others provide pricing upon request. We aim to present what is available, link to the vendor source, and call out items that commonly change the total. When pricing is not public, we focus on clarity about models and likely cost drivers so clinics can request a precise quote with confidence.
MiniPACS has 3 pricing plans
Visit WebsiteMiniPACS
Own your PACS. Opens in any browser. $300/mo flat
Stop renting your own medical images. MiniPACS is a self-hosted PACS that puts the entire imaging archive on a single mini PC in your clinic. Studies arrive over standard DICOM from any modality (CT, MR, US, X-ray and more) and open in any browser in under a second, so reading never waits on a workstation or an install. Radiologists dictate reports by voice, sign them as DICOM PDFs that travel inside the study, and hand patients their scans as a PIN-protected link or a self-contained disc. You own the archive: encrypted backups, an editable role and permission matrix, and a hash-chained HIPAA audit log you can verify from the browser. One flat price, $300 per location per month, no per-study fees and no cloud rent. One-click live demo at minipacs.net.
$300 per location/month
Vendo
Referral portal that retires the fax machine
Stop losing referrals to the fax machine. Vendo is a referral and booking portal that referring doctors actually log into: they send an imaging order in about a minute, pick a real open slot in your schedule, and watch the status themselves, from referred to scheduled to read, without calling your front desk. A safety-gated intake wizard flags MRI contrast and pregnancy risks before a booking is confirmed, so an unsafe order never reaches the scanner. Your front desk works every referral from one inbox with SLA aging, your referring physicians get their own branded portal, and every action is HIPAA audit-logged. Runs alongside MiniPACS or on its own. $500 per month per location, no per-referral fees. One-click live demo at minipacs.net.

Veterinary Software Pricing FAQ
Q: Do I need to contact sales to get pricing?
A: Some vendors list public pricing, others provide quotes after a short discovery call. Both models are common in this category. Ask the vendor what information they need to provide an accurate quote.
Q: Is pricing based on seats or locations?
A: Plans are often priced by user counts, locations, or both. Usage based items such as messaging or storage can be billed separately. Some products or services are priced as a one time fee. Ask the vendor to clarify what is included and what is extra.
Q: Are there setup fees?
A: Setup can be included or billed as a one time service. This usually covers configuration, training, and any supported data import. Ask the vendor what is included, if there are limits, and any additional costs.
Q: What changes the price after I sign up
A: Seat changes, location changes, and usage items such as messaging or storage can increase or decrease the monthly invoice. Many vendors increase prices annually based on market factors. Ask your vendor how they handle price increases.
Q: Can I export my data if I cancel?
A: Vendors typically provide exports in common formats. Confirm supported formats and any limits or fees before you begin.
Q: Do you offer discounts?
Why this matters: Annual commitments and multi-location groups sometimes qualify for discounts. Ask the vendor about available options. Some professional associations also arrange group discounts.
