Cost to Develop White-label Pharmacy App Vs. Custom: Get the Best Online Pharmacy App in 2023

We’ve recently launched a white-label pharmacy app that is HIPAA compliant and can be customized to meet your unique needs.

Not only this but it is equipped with multi-user architecture.

Meaning, there are different separate portals for your pharmacy, customers/clients, and your vendors.

As if this is not enough, it comes with no-code capabilities.

This feature allows you to configure our ready-to-use online medicine delivery app as per your unique workflows.

And there is a lot more about it.

So, let us share everything about it in a very well-organized manner.

Also, a cost to develop a pharmacy app in Canada, the USA, and beyond!

What is a white-label pharmacy app?

A white-label app is the best alternative to both SaaS and custom apps.

Because, unlike SaaS, you don’t have to worry about a monthly or yearly subscription for the online pharmacy app.

And unlike custom apps, you don’t have to invest $100,000+ in a single shot.

A white-label pharmacy app is a more affordable, risk-free, and flexible solution.

It comes with your own branding and it costs almost 70% to 80% less than the custom app.

Why? Because it is already built while keeping the best interests and common needs in mind.

And when you want to acquire it, the company customizes it as per your unique needs to make sure you receive what you want.

In case you want to enjoy source code ownership too, you can pay a little extra and get the source code.

You can treat the white-label app as the base.

Developers code on top of it only for missing features that you want to have in your app because of your business nature.

This way, you don’t have to reinvent the wheel or build the medicine delivery app from scratch which results in an affordable branded solution that works as per your custom needs.

White-label Vs. Custom online pharmacy app

The cost to build a pharmacy app and time-to-market are the two major reasons for choosing a white-label pharmacy app over the custom one.

Cost to develop a pharmacy app

If you want to build an online pharmacy app in North America, it easily costs more than $100,000 or even $150,000 in some cases.

However, talking about a white-label pharmacy app, well, it costs somewhere between $20000 to $60000 with even customization options.

Time-to-market

Even in the best case, developers would easily require at least 6 months to build a custom pharmacy app from scratch.

Whereas, it takes us a maximum of 60 business days to deliver the white-label online pharmacy app after customizing it as per your needs.

The detailed pricing information of our white-label medicine delivery app

We’ve been in the healthcare IT industry for more than 8 years.

Thus, we know the main pain area of pharmacies is the budget.

Because it is not a rational choice for small-medium scale pharmacies to invest $100,000 in tech!

So, we aim to keep the pricing of our white-label pharmacy app very unique.

Here is how.

Pricing details:

  • It comes with a one-time fee. No monthly or yearly subscription.
  • If you need customization on top of the base, we do it with a nominal hourly development fee.
  • You get unlimited usage rights for an unlimited number of your internal staff members, customers, and vendors.
  • You get it for a lifetime.
  • We also host the product on your server. So, you will have a certain level of control over the product.
  • No packages. The entire app is there for you to leverage.

The multi-user architecture of our white-label pharmacy app

We don’t address it as an app but as an ecosystem.

Because it brings all of a pharmacy’s stakeholders under the same roof.

Be it the pharmacy owner as a master admin, internal team members, clients/customers, vendors, and even vendors’ team members, there are separate portals for each of them to let them perform their level of tasks by logging into their profile.

The following image would give you a better idea.

So, what we did – we fine-tuned our already built powerful online pharmacy app base.

7. Advanced permission management

You can literally set permission at the very micro level (Add, Edit, View, Delete) for each of the features and each of the internal and external users.

However, to make assigning permissions easy for you, we have introduced a ‘Grouping’ feature.

You can select, and deselect each permission and give it a group name.

So, next time, when you want to give a user some specific permissions, you don’t have to select and deselect each thing again.

You only need to select that permission group name from the list and all the already set permissions under that group will be automatically given to that particular user.
