AtlasCare vs Netsmart myUnity
Netsmart myUnity is an enterprise EHR built for multi-service-line post-acute care organizations. Atlas is built for the small private pay home care agency you're running today.
Netsmart Technologies, founded in 1992 and headquartered in Overland Park, Kansas, is one of the largest health information technology companies serving post-acute care. Its myUnity platform (formerly DeVero) spans all post-acute service lines — home health, hospice, palliative care, private duty, and senior living — in a single clinical EHR with e-Prescribing, OASIS documentation, e-faxing, interoperability, and multi-payer billing. The company acquired Tellus EVV in 2020, making Netsmart one of two state-approved Texas EVV aggregators alongside HHAeXchange. Information current as of July 2026.
Atlas Care Software serves a different part of the market: small and launching private pay personal care agencies that need scheduling, GPS-verified visits, and invoicing without enterprise implementation timelines, multi-module clinical complexity, or per-user pricing. If your agency bills families directly and you're comparing your software options, here's how the two platforms differ most.

Why agencies choose Atlas
Flat pricing — not per-user enterprise billing
Netsmart myUnity uses per-user pricing that scales with your organization's size and the modules you activate. Third-party aggregators estimate starting costs around $300/user/month, with total cost of ownership growing as you add service lines and staff. Atlas is $199/mo flat — no per-user fees, no implementation services required, and no setup costs. You can start free and know your software bill before you sign anything.
Private pay workflows without clinical overhead
myUnity's depth comes from serving agencies that need OASIS documentation, e-Prescribing, e-faxing, and multi-payer Medicare and Medicaid billing — features a private pay personal care agency will never use. Atlas is focused on the operations a private pay agency actually runs: scheduling, GPS-verified visits, and accurate invoicing for families. No clinical forms, no claims clearinghouse, no modules to configure and train around.
Operational in a day, not months
myUnity's enterprise implementation — designed for organizations migrating across multiple care settings and payer systems — typically takes several months to complete. Atlas sets up in a single day: add your team in the morning, schedule clients in the afternoon, run verified shifts the next day. Our team migrates your data free on the Growth plan.
Frequently asked questions
If you run a private pay personal care agency and want flat, predictable pricing with a one-day setup, yes — that's exactly who Atlas is built for. myUnity is built for enterprise and mid-size organizations running multiple post-acute service lines (home health, hospice, Medicaid billing) that justify months of implementation investment. For a small agency billing families directly, Atlas covers scheduling, GPS-verified visits, and invoicing at $199/mo flat — without the clinical overhead or per-user pricing.
Atlas publishes its pricing: free until your first client, then $199/mo flat ($124/mo billed annually) with no per-user fees, no setup fee, and no contract. Netsmart myUnity does not list pricing publicly — a sales conversation is required. Third-party software aggregators estimate starting costs around $300/user/month, with total cost of ownership growing significantly when implementation services, training, and ongoing support are included. Contact Netsmart for a current quote (as of July 2026).
Yes. Netsmart acquired Tellus EVV in 2020, and Tellus is one of two state-approved Texas EVV aggregators (alongside HHAeXchange) under the Texas HHSC program. Texas Medicaid agencies using myUnity can submit EVV data through Tellus for TMHP compliance. Atlas captures GPS-verified visit records on every shift; direct Texas TMHP/HHAeXchange aggregator integration is in active development. Contact us if Texas Medicaid compliance is on your roadmap.
Netsmart myUnity is designed for multi-service-line post-acute care organizations — home health, hospice, palliative care, private duty, and senior living — typically at mid-size to enterprise scale. Its clinical feature set (OASIS documentation, e-Prescribing, e-faxing, interoperability) reflects a platform built primarily around Medicare-certified and Medicaid-billing agency workflows. Private pay personal care agencies are a supported service line but not the platform's primary design focus.
