Patient apps for dental and medical practices
Keepport builds patient apps for dental offices, clinics and specialty practices: online booking, digital intake forms, reminders and secure messaging. A typical practice app costs about $5,500, launches in eight to ten weeks on iPhone and Android, and is maintained for $299 a month on a care plan. Every build is HIPAA-aware from day one, with a signed business associate agreement.

Your own app vs Zocdoc, NexHealth or your PMS patient portal
Rented software is fine until the fees, the branding and the data lock-in add up. This is what changes when the app is yours.
| Zocdoc, NexHealth or your PMS patient portal | Keepport app | |
|---|---|---|
| Per-booking or per-provider fees | $300–$500 per provider per month | $299 Care Plan flat |
| Patient relationship | Marketplace owns the patient | Your app, your patients |
| Forms and reminders | Separate tools | One app |
| Compliance | Depends on vendor | BAA signed, encrypted at rest and in transit |
| Ownership | Subscription | You own the code |
HIPAA-compliant app development for a small clinic typically ranges from $20,000 to $100,000 across US vendors; a template-based patient app keeps a single practice at the low end of that range.
