Short answer: a ready-made, white-label telemedicine platform starts at $8,000 setup plus $500 per month. A custom telemedicine app is built around your clinical workflow and starts from $15,000, typically in the $15,000 to $60,000 range, plus about $1,000 per month for maintenance and hosting. These are indicative "from" prices. We confirm the final scope and price after a discovery call.

Two ways to build

1. Ready-made: start on a proven platform

We take a telemedicine product that already works (patient app, doctor app and admin console), put your brand on it and configure it for your clinic. It is the faster and cheaper route: $8,000 setup plus $500 per month.

It suits a clinic or a small group with a fairly standard flow: book, video visit, prescription, payment.

2. Custom: built around your workflow

A custom build starts from a blank repo and is shaped by your specialty, your integrations and your compliance needs. Expect $15,000 to $60,000, plus about $1,000 per month after launch for maintenance, hosting and support.

Choose custom if your clinical workflow, specialty or integrations differ from the standard, or if you need to own and extend every part of the system.

What a telemedicine app actually contains

IMG-2: Three panels, patient app, doctor app, admin console, one backend
Alt: The three parts of a telemedicine platform: patient, doctor and admin.

It is three products on one backend, not one app:

  • Patient app: search for a doctor, book a slot, join a video visit, pay, get a summary.
  • Doctor app: schedule, consult, notes, prescriptions.
  • Admin console: users, branches, payments, reports and an audit trail.

What pushes the price up

Alt: Features that raise the cost of a telemedicine app.

  1. Video consultations that must work on weak connections.
  2. Payments and refunds through a real gateway.
  3. EHR or HMIS integration with systems you already run.
  4. HIPAA consent and audit trail, built in from the first commit.
  5. AI triage and other AI features.
  6. Multiple branches with access scoped per location.
  7. A custom design level instead of a rebranded product.

Why HIPAA changes the build

HIPAA applies if you handle patient health information in the US. In practice it means access controls by role, an audit trail of who saw what, consent capture, and careful handling of where data is stored and sent. It is much cheaper to design this in from the start than to add it after launch. Rules differ by country (UK GDPR, UAE and others), so tell us where your patients are.

We are an engineering team, not a legal firm. Your own compliance advisor should confirm what your service needs.

Costs outside our price

  • Video infrastructure usage, SMS and push notifications.
  • Payment gateway fees.
  • App Store and Google Play fees.
  • Cloud hosting as your patient volume grows.

We build custom apps first. Ready-made products are a shortcut when they fit, not a limit. Source code and IP transfer to you once development is complete and fully paid.
