Is PixioDoc cheaper than CureCast?

PixioDoc Pro is €8.99/month or €79.99/year for unlimited patients and sessions. CureCast Starter is $150/month on annual billing, and the Practice tier with overlay comparison and remote intake is $200/month. PixioDoc Free covers 10 patients and 5 sessions each, with no trial clock. CureCast's offer is a 14-day trial.

What is the best CureCast alternative for solo clinicians?

PixioDoc, when the job is patient photos and not a practice-management stack. Free covers 10 patients and 5 sessions, including ghost overlay and the progress slider. Pro and Teams add side-by-side comparison, multi-image layouts, PDF reports, and sharing, at €8.99/month for Pro.

Who should choose CureCast over PixioDoc?

Choose CureCast if you want photos bundled with scheduling, e-prescribing, billing, and remote photo intake, and you accept $150–200/month. CureCast states HIPAA, GDPR, PHIPA, and PDPL compliance. PixioDoc does not make that claim. It is EU-hosted, encrypted in transit and at rest, with audit trails. Your overall compliance depends on how your practice uses the tool, your lawful basis, and patient consent.

Does PixioDoc work for plastic surgery and medspa before-and-after photos?

PixioDoc covers the photo workflow: ghost overlay and the progress slider on every plan, including Free, and side-by-side comparison, multi-image layouts, and PDF reports on Pro and Teams. It does not include CureCast's practice-management modules or remote photo intake.

Can PixioDoc generate PDF progress reports?

On Pro and Teams, select individual photos from a patient's timeline and generate a PixioDoc-branded PDF. Comparison layouts stay in the app. You choose what is included before sharing. CureCast is built around the practice platform rather than that PDF handoff.
