Configure your appointment scheduling app
Work through the steps below — scope, features, compliance and integrations — and you get an estimate with a range, a midpoint and a delivery window.
What each scope tier includes
Every calculator starts from one of three baselines. This is what separates them.
| Scope | Baseline | Typical shape |
|---|---|---|
| MVP | $10K | Narrowest useful release — one workflow, one user type, launched fast. |
| Standard | $22K | The common case: multiple roles, reporting, and the integrations most buyers expect. |
| Advanced | $43K | Multi-site or enterprise scope, deeper interoperability and heavier non-functional requirements. |
Baselines are before feature adders, compliance programmes, integrations and the platform and design multipliers. Every configuration this calculator can produce falls inside $8.5K–$206K — the floor is the cheapest tier at the cheapest multipliers with nothing added, the ceiling is the top tier with every option selected at the dearest ones. Both ends are computed from the price table above, not written by hand. A typical mid-market configuration lands near $57,650. See how the numbers are built.
Frequently asked questions
How much does healthcare scheduling software cost to build?
A single-location booking app with reminders costs $35,000–$65,000. A multi-provider system with a rules engine, waitlist and EHR sync costs $75,000–$150,000. Enterprise scheduling across many locations and service lines runs $150,000–$260,000.
Why is the availability rules engine the expensive part?
At about $16,000 it is the most-used and most-edited component: appointment types with different durations, provider templates, buffers, double-booking rules, room and equipment constraints, and insurance-based routing. Teams that under-invest here usually pay $10,000–$25,000 to rewrite it within the first year.
What do appointment reminders cost to run?
The $9,000 build cost covers scheduling, templates and opt-out handling. Running costs are usage-based: roughly $0.008–$0.02 per SMS and $0.013–$0.03 per minute for voice. A practice sending 10,000 reminders a month spends about $100–$200 monthly, typically against a no-show reduction worth far more.
