Head-to-Head Comparison

We compared every feature.So you don't have to.

Cornerstone, ezyVet, AVImark, and RosaVet — every category, every line item, every hidden add-on that the sales team won't volunteer until you're already on the contract. We did the research so you can finish your coffee.

Pricing reflects publicly available info as of 2026. Verify with each vendor before signing. RosaVet pricing is set, public, and won't change at the contract stage.

You save with RosaVet$72,552$61,992$34,152OVER 24 MONTHS

RosaVet saves the average 3-DVM clinic $3,000+ per month vs. Cornerstone.
That's $72,000+ over a typical 24-month contract.
The math isn't subtle.

Even compared to the cheapest competitor on this list, you'd save $34,152 over 24 months— enough to fund a new exam-room build-out, an associate vet's signing bonus, or a year of mortgage payments on a small clinic property.

It's not just about money

Some of these features aren't even sold elsewhere.

When the table shows Not offered next to a competitor, it doesn't mean they include it free. It means no amount of money buys you that capability on their platform. You'd have to do without — or hire a third party, train your team to switch tools mid-workflow, and reconcile the data manually.

With RosaVet you're not just saving $34K-$73K over 24 months. You're getting an entire stack of capabilities the incumbents can't even quote a price on.

True apples to apples

The previous rollup was generous.Here's what really matches RosaVet.

The earlier table only counted features competitors actually sell. To truly match RosaVet's feature set on Cornerstone, ezyVet, or AVImark, you'd have to bolt on third-party vendors for every "Not offered" cell — AI radiology services, branded-content libraries, translation tools, compliance trackers, telemedicine, RFID hardware, in-room display systems. Add it all up and the comparison gets ugly fast.

* Indicates a third-party vendor required because the platform doesn't natively offer the feature. Estimates based on typical mid-market pricing for each category. Actual third-party costs vary by vendor and deal.

$143,000–$161,000.
That's what it really costs to almostmatch RosaVet on a competitor's platform.
Almost.

Even if you bolt on every third-party tool money can buy, you still don't get RFID auto-SOAP-start integrated with the chart, in-room AI displays driven by patient context, euthanasia-mode billing suppression, or 12-role row-level security — capabilities that simply don't exist outside RosaVet at any price.

And that's just the dollars

The bigger savings is the oneyou can't put on a spreadsheet.

Every hour you and your team spend wrestling software is an hour you don't spend with patients, with families, or with your own kids. Here's what RosaVet gives back to a typical 3-DVM clinic every year — and what it would actually be worth to your life.

~3,000
Hours/year recovered for a 3-DVM clinic

Not hired. Not paid. Just freed up from the people you already have.

Estimates based on a typical 3-DVM general-practice clinic with 8 support staff and 50 daily appointments. Conservative — multiplier features (e.g., AI imaging on a specialty practice) push the number higher.

The retention math

ER vets burn out at 2× the rate of GPs.Documentation load is the #1 cited reason.

Cutting 60% of a DVM's charting time isn't a productivity feature. It's a retention feature. Replacing one burnt-out vet costs $80,000–$150,000 in recruiting, signing bonus, training, and lost productivity. RosaVet pays for itself the first time it stops one of your associates from quitting.

$143K-$161K saved. ~3,000 hours back.
That's not a price difference. That's a different way of practicing medicine.

Now choose wisely

Two ways to use that time.Don't pick the wrong one.

Path 1 — For good

Give the time back to your patients, your team, and your family.

  • Longer appointments. Real conversations. Better care.
  • Your DVMs go home before sundown. Their kids notice.
  • Burnout drops. Retention rises. You keep your team for 10 years instead of 2.
  • Every patient gets the version of you that medicine deserves.

Path 2 — For evil

Cram twice as many appointments into the same day.

  • "Maximize utilization." Squeeze the team until they quit.
  • Hire the next one. Squeeze them too. Repeat.
  • Doctors burn out at 2× the rate. Patients feel rushed.
  • Quarterly numbers go up. Everything else goes down.

We built this for Path 1.
Choose Path 2 and we'll charge you double. 😉

(That last part is a joke. Sort of. If you need Path 2, we'd suggest Cornerstone — they've been optimizing for it for 30 years.)

$72K is one clinic

Now multiply.By every DVM. Every location. Every year.

That $72,552 number was for a single 3-DVM clinic. Here's what happens when the math scales to mid-size hospitals, multi-location groups, and corporate chains. Sit down before you read the last row.

Clinic profileCornerstone (24 mo)RosaVet (24 mo)You save
Solo doctor · 1 DVM · 1 location~$37,200$11,976~$25,224
Small clinic · 3 DVMs · 1 location~$103,680$31,128~$72,552
Mid hospital · 10 DVMs · 1 location~$175,680$88,080~$87,600
Large hospital · 25 DVMs · 1 location
typical regional ER
~$349,200$184,920~$164,280
Multi-location chain · 15 DVMs · 5 locations~$514,800$121,560~$393,240
Corporate group · 50 DVMs · 10 locations
small chain or aggregated practice group
~$1,300,800$334,320~$966,480

Estimates based on per-DVM volume tiers and per-location fixed costs (each location adds its own website, marketing, branded handouts, online shop, etc.). Multi-location and corporate numbers approximated; actual savings vary based on contract terms negotiated with incumbent vendors.

For corporate & chain operators

Your group is leaving$1 million+ on the table.Every two years.

That money isn't going to your DVMs. It isn't going to your techs. It isn't going to your equipment budget, your facility upgrades, or your client retention. It's going to a publicly traded vendor's quarterly earnings report.

The next time IDEXX or Covetrus reports a "great quarter," look at your monthly software invoice. That's where the great quarter came from.

The fine print

The catchesyour sales rep won't volunteer.

Setup fees aren't optional

Cornerstone's $5K-15K setup is non-negotiable. ezyVet's $3K-8K is "tiered." AVImark's $1K-3K is "data conversion." All call it implementation. RosaVet calls it $0.

90-day cancellation notice

Buried in ezyVet and AVImark contracts. Three more months of fees after you decide to leave. RosaVet: email today, done tomorrow.

Payment processing markup

Cornerstone marks up your card processing 0.3-0.5% above the underlying processor's rate. On $100K/month volume, that's $300-500/mo extra. RosaVet: pure pass-through Stripe.

Tier upgrades for "premium features"

Multi-location? Premium tier. Advanced analytics? Premium tier. Online booking? Premium tier. RosaVet: solo doc gets every feature. 25-DVM hospital gets every feature. Same software.

Per-seat pricing taxes growth

Hire a kennel tech: $25/mo. Hire a receptionist: $25/mo. Hire a groomer: $25/mo. RosaVet: pay per DVM, every other seat free.

Annual price increases

IDEXX raises Cornerstone 6-9%/yr. ezyVet 5-7%. AVImark 5%. Compound 5 years and your "$300/DVM" is "$400+." RosaVet pricing stays public — you'll know in advance.

Our promise to you

We're never going to stop.Every quarter. Forever.

Software that doesn't grow, dies. Every quarter we ship new features, new integrations, new species support, new clinical workflows. That's the deal.

Public companies like IDEXX have to optimize for shareholder returns. That means cutting features that don't drive ARR, sunsetting clinics whose contracts aren't profitable enough, raising prices to hit Q3 targets. We don't have shareholders. We don't have a Q3 target. We have customers, and we have time.

No upgrade fees

Every new feature lands on your existing plan. Same price, more value, every quarter.

Pricing stays public

No annual surprise increase. When pricing changes, you'll see it on this page first.

Every quarter, we make this software better.
Every quarter, you get the new features for free.
Every quarter. Forever. That's the deal.

Why this comparison looks like this

Most "comparison pages" you'll find onlinewere written by the company being compared.

We compared every feature publicly because we want clinic owners to evaluate this honestly, not on a sales call where the rep controls the narrative. Some cells say "RosaVet wins." Some say "we tied." A few say "we have it; they have it too." That's how this is supposed to work.

If you find a row where we got the competitor's feature wrong, tell us — we'll update it. Our reputation is built on being the company that doesn't bullshit its customers.

The last software you will ever purchase. Period.
