Monthly or annual licence – which pricing model suits your therapy practice?
Whether you are just getting started or running a well-established practice, choosing the right licence model can save you money while protecting your planning flexibility. TheraNext offers both options transparently, with no hidden fees. Find out which model fits your situation.
Monthly rolling licence: maximum flexibility, minimum risk
A monthly licence is perfect for practices that want to try TheraNext in day-to-day use before committing, or for situations where your planning horizon is uncertain. You pay only for the months you actively use the software – no annual contract, no risk. This is a particularly attractive starting point for sole practitioners or newly founded practices.
- ✓Cancel at any time with one month's notice
- ✓Full feature set included from day one
- ✓No minimum term, no setup fee
Annual licence: a lower rate for practices with long-term plans
If you know you will be using practice management software for the foreseeable future, the annual licence gives you a consistently lower monthly rate. That reduced price stays fixed for the entire term – no surprise increases, no adjustments. For established practices with a stable patient base, the annual licence typically pays for itself within a few months.
- ✓Lower monthly price compared to the rolling model
- ✓Fixed term provides reliable figures for your accounts and planning
- ✓Automatic renewal can be avoided by cancelling in good time
Understanding the true cost: what you actually pay
A fair licence comparison looks beyond the headline monthly price to include setup fees, data export charges and cancellation terms. With TheraNext there is no setup fee, no surcharge for support and no charge for exporting your data – regardless of the model you choose. This makes the cost comparison genuinely straightforward.
- ✓No setup or onboarding fee
- ✓Data portability included – no lock-in
- ✓Support and updates included in both models
More than a pricing model: what TheraNext delivers in every plan
Whether you pay monthly or annually, you get the full feature set: direct billing under §302 with no billing centre required, the therapeutic guideline traffic-light system, blank prescription support, GoBD-compliant accounting, and a GDPR-compliant AI calling agent that automatically fills vacant appointment slots by phone based on current treatment needs. Native telematics infrastructure via RISE, electronic prescription readiness and data storage exclusively on servers in Germany are included as standard.
- ✓§302 direct billing with health insurers – no intermediary needed
- ✓AI calling agent fills open slots based on actual treatment need – automated and GDPR-compliant
- ✓All 2026/2027 obligations (TI, eVO) already integrated or prepared
Which model should you choose?
Starting fresh or want to experience TheraNext in real practice first? The monthly licence is the right entry point – no risk, no commitment. If your practice is running steadily and you know you need a powerful PMS for the long term, the annual licence is clearly better value. Either way, you can try TheraNext free of charge before making any decision.
