AtlasCare vs PointClickCare
PointClickCare is an enterprise LTPAC platform serving 21,000+ skilled nursing, senior living, and home health providers. Atlas is built for the small private pay agency you're running today.
PointClickCare is a Mississauga, Ontario-based software company serving more than 21,000 long-term and post-acute care (LTPAC) providers across the United States and Canada — skilled nursing facilities, assisted living communities, home health agencies, hospice organizations, and private duty providers. Its Care at Home module extends the platform's clinical documentation, scheduling, and EVV capabilities into non-medical home care. For EVV, PointClickCare partners with CellTrak's EVVLink, which interfaces with state-designated aggregators; CellTrak has a published partnership with HHAeXchange. PointClickCare does not publish pricing — a quote is required through their sales team. Third-party aggregators (ITQlick, SaaSworthy) estimate subscription costs for small agencies in the range of $500–$2,000/month, with implementation costs reported from $5,000 to $50,000+ for smaller deployments and $75,000–$200,000+ for enterprise. Information current as of August 2026.
Atlas Care Software is built for a different customer: small and launching private pay home care agencies in Texas that need scheduling, GPS-verified visits, and invoicing without an enterprise clinical EHR, a multi-month implementation project, or per-user pricing that scales with every hire. Atlas is a Texas company with HCSSA-aware workflows and Texas EVV aggregator integration in active development. Here's how the two platforms compare.

Why agencies choose Atlas
Pricing built for a small agency, not an enterprise
PointClickCare is priced for organizations managing hundreds of residents and multiple facilities — third-party aggregators estimate $500–$2,000/month for small agencies and $5,000–$15,000+/month for larger ones, plus implementation fees before the first shift runs. Atlas is $199/mo flat with no setup fee, no implementation cost, and no contract. For a private pay agency with 10–50 caregivers, the difference is orders of magnitude.
Private pay operations without the LTPAC clinical overhead
PointClickCare's breadth comes from serving skilled nursing facilities, assisted living communities, and home health agencies that need clinical charting, medication management, Medicare billing, and multi-payer claims. A small private pay home care agency using PointClickCare accesses a platform built for far more complex organizational contexts. Atlas covers the operations a private pay agency runs every day — scheduling, GPS-verified visits, invoicing, caregiver management — without the clinical modules it will never open.
Operational in a day, not a project
PointClickCare enterprise implementations are measured in months and tens of thousands in setup fees. For a small private pay agency, that overhead exists before you've run a single shift in the new system. Atlas sets up in a day: add your team in the morning, schedule clients in the afternoon, run shifts the next day. Our team migrates any existing records, free on the Growth plan.
Frequently asked questions
If your agency bills families directly for private pay home care and you want a platform that doesn't require an enterprise implementation project or pricing in the hundreds or thousands per month, yes — Atlas is built for that. You get scheduling, GPS-verified visits, and invoicing at $199/mo flat with no setup fee and no contract. PointClickCare is a better fit for large organizations managing skilled nursing, home health, hospice, and private duty across multiple payer types and care settings.
PointClickCare uses CellTrak's EVVLink for EVV, and CellTrak has a published partnership with HHAeXchange for state aggregator integration. Whether PointClickCare's private duty clients can submit EVV data to Texas HHAeXchange through this integration is not confirmed in PointClickCare's public documentation as of August 2026. Contact PointClickCare directly to verify current Texas Medicaid EVV support before committing if your agency bills STAR+PLUS or other Texas HHSC programs. Atlas captures GPS-verified visit records on every shift; direct Texas TMHP/HHAeXchange aggregator integration is in active development.
PointClickCare does not publicly list pricing — a quote through their sales team is required. Third-party aggregators (ITQlick, SaaSworthy) estimate $300–$600/user/month as a baseline, translating to $500–$2,000/month for small agency deployments plus $5,000–$50,000+ in implementation costs. 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.
