Best for solo + 2-provider budget-tight practices
Try Crystal PMCrystal PM Standard at $149 per provider monthly (cloud or on-prem) covers optometry-specific EHR + scheduling + billing + optical inventory + frames catalog. Premium at $229 per provider adds patient portal + reminders + e-prescribing + image module + advanced reports. Where RevolutionEHR Standard at $295 ships the cloud PIMS + e-prescribing + insurance billing, Crystal PM Standard ships the same scope at $149 (49% cheaper). For solo + 2-provider practices that don't need RevolutionEHR's patient engagement portal or advanced analytics, Crystal PM beats RevolutionEHR on per-provider economics. The trade vs RevolutionEHR: smaller US installed base, dated UI vs RevolutionEHR's modern cloud interface, less mature multi-location consolidation.
