Paying a premium for digital consultation tools like Accurx can feel like straight-up daylight robbery. Enter Hero Health: the cheaper, patient-focused solution that proves you don’t need venture-capital-backed bells and whistles to run an efficient GP practice.
Are you a GP practice struggling to justify the rising costs of Accurx? You’re not alone. Practices across the UK are facing tighter budgets and growing demand. Paying over £1 per patient per year for modules like batch messaging, online triage, and video consultations can feel like an ever-increasing burden.
But guess what? You don’t need to break the bank. Hero Health is a cost-effective alternative (just 45p per patient, per year), delivering the same functionality you crave—plus a whole lot more.
Accurx’s pricing structure can climb above £1 per patient per year, especially if you’re using multiple modules such as online triage, batch messaging, or video consultations. For practices with large patient lists, that adds up to tens of thousands of pounds annually. If you want a deeper dive into these costs, check out our blog post How Much Does Accurx Cost? Let’s Do the Maths.
Accurx is backed by big investors, and big investors expect big returns. While the platform churns out flashy features at a rapid pace, GP practices end up subsidising the venture capital dream.
There’s no real way to personalise Accurx to your specific workflow. You’re pretty much stuck with what they decide is best—even if it’s not an ideal fit for your GP practice.
Hero Health is here to show you can have it all: cost-effective, patient-focused digital tools that keep your practice thriving.
With Hero Health priced at just 45p per patient, practices typically save at least 35% compared to Accurx. Think of what you could do with the budget you free up! For further reading on Accurx pricing, see our article Is Accurx too expensive?.
Unlike Accurx, Hero Health puts you in control. Build your own triage pathways to guide patients, direct them to self-help or local services, and only bring them to the practice when necessary. Learn more about our triage solution on the Care Navigation & Triage page.
Hero Health goes beyond triage. Patients can book appointments directly, skipping all that administrative back-and-forth. Happier patients, happier staff. Our Online Booking feature feeds appointments straight into your clinical record system.
No hidden fees, no surprise add-ons. Hero Health’s pricing is refreshingly straightforward. At 45p per patient, you can scale up without ballooning costs.
Moving to Hero isn’t just about saving money (though your finance manager will thank you). It’s about finding a solution that truly works for your practice—improving patient communication, triage, and scheduling from all angles.
If you’re tired of huge bills, limited flexibility, and costs that don’t stop climbing (all for a service that’s not always user-friendly), Hero Health is calling your name. It offers everything Accurx does—and then some—for much less.
If you’re looking for a cheap alternative to Accurx, Hero Health has all the communication, triage, and booking bells and whistles at a fraction of the cost. It puts your practice’s needs—and your patients—first, rather than pleasing private investors.
