Five questions to ask any vendor
- What does it cost me to leave?Our answerNothing — full export + step-by-step switching guides are published. If we're not earning your business, take your data and go.
- When your AI acts, whose name is in the audit trail?Our answerThe AI's own named actor — every action attributed, auditable, and reversible through the same trail as human staff.
- What's the real monthly number for my 11-provider practice?Our answerPublic math: platform + payments + Mox ≈ $547/mo; with the full chart suite ≈ $1,675/mo. No demo call required.
- Do I pay for every front-desk seat?Our answerNo — staff seats are included; you pay per clinic, not per human.
- Will my data train your models?Our answerNo — contractually.
