Disclosures
- How we make money: Some links may earn us a referral fee at no cost to you. Fees never affect scores, rankings, or what we cover, and we accept no paid placement.
- How this was researched: Everything on this page comes from public vendor documentation, regulators, and third-party sources, each linked below with the date we checked it. We did not test these products hands-on.
- Not advice: General business software information, not medical, legal, billing, or compliance advice. Confirm current prices, state rules, and BAA terms directly with the vendor before you buy.
Quick answer
Osmind scores 68 and Valant 60 on our comparison [1]. Both score 5 of 5 on prescribing workflow. Osmind publishes a software price ($249/mo per clinician on Osmind One, plus $49/mo EPCS) [2]; Valant publishes no base price [3] but publishes add-on prices, including telehealth at $35 or $39 per provider/mo [4].
Read scores as documentation scores. A low score often means a vendor does not publish the information, not that the feature is poor. Scores come from the Practice Stack rubric: six criteria worth 90 points, rescaled to 100.
