Cloud all-in-one with a published entry price aimed at start-up practices.
Who it’s for
New and single-location practices that want cloud without a five-figure annual commitment.

|---|---|---|
| Alpine — year 1 (start-up) | $125/month | per practice, up to 3 providers |
| Established practice — year 2+ | $225/month | per practice, up to 5 providers |
Add-ons you will probably also buy

“Not stated” means the vendor does not say either way on its public site. We do not infer capability that isn’t documented.
What it does well
- Cloud, all-in-one, and priced publicly — a combination almost nobody else offers.
- Start-up tier is genuinely cheap for a new practice’s first year.
- Native imaging included rather than sold as a separate module.
Where it falls short
- Per-claim and per-eligibility-check fees mean a busy practice’s real bill is well above the sticker price.
- Provider caps (3 then 5) make the headline price misleading for larger teams.
- Smaller installed base than the incumbents, so fewer integrations and less peer support.

Next step
Prices and features move. Before you commit, confirm the current figure with tab32 directly, and ask specifically what is not in the base price — that is where budgets slip in this category.
