Switching from Cortico? Here's exactly what you'd save.
A lower per-clinician rate, broader EMR reach, and the production hospital integration Cortico doesn't have. See your number below, then book a demo right here.
The differences that matter.
Lower per-clinician rate
Cortico's closest-match Premium tier runs $119/clinician/mo with a $99/clinic minimum. Empower runs $65/clinician — before the Ontario Health OAB subsidy is even applied.
Five EMRs, not two
Cortico supports Accuro and OSCAR. Empower adds PS Suite, CHR, and Meditech — including the only production hospital-EHR online booking integration in the category.
Higher patient adoption by design
Empower is built around one goal: get more patients booking online, for every patient type, in every language. Cortico's ceiling is good; ours is designed to be higher.
OH OAB subsidy eligible
Empower qualifies for the Ontario Health OAB subsidy and supplies the documentation — applied against a lower base rate, it stretches further.
No tier confusion
Cortico's Essentials tier ($86) trades away features to hit a lower price point. Empower doesn't ask you to choose between price and capability.
