Replace the lab · Keep the margin
Orthotics are not a cost center—they are a high-margin clinical service when you own design + production. Numbers vary by payer mix and shop cost—use our calculators to stress-test yours.

Platform pricing follows fixed tiers and is auto-optimized for your monthly volume.
| Tier | Base | Included | Overage | Total @ volume |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| StarterRecommended | $229.00 | 20 | $0.00 | $229.00 |

| Growth | $449.00 | 60 | $0.00 | $449.00 |
| Production | $899.00 | 200 | $0.00 | $899.00 |
At 20 cases/month, Starter is $146.00 cheaper than Free.
Conversion guidance: planning 15+ cases/month usually makes Starter cheaper than Free pay-as-you-go ($25/case after 5).
Switch guidance: Free → Starter around 15 cases/month, Starter → Growth around 42 cases/month, Growth → Production around 135 cases/month.
