MyOPD pricing, the published subscription plans, and what became of the one-time licence

Is MyOPD a one-time licence or a subscription?

Both, depending on which MyOPD page you read, so this needs care. The pricing page itself, on 30 Oct 2026, lists only monthly and yearly figures, and calls the Polyclinic plan a "Subscription Plan". Its page description says "One-time and subscription options available".

The FAQ page says MyOPD "offers two payment options for the Clinic Version: One-Time Plan — pay once and own the software permanently", and that if you do not renew the AMC "the software continues to work and all your data stays with you" but you lose updates, cloud backup, app access and SMS reminders. It also says the AMC rate "is locked for the next two renewals". No one-time price is given there.

The pricing post the pricing page links to, dated 4 March 2021, shows the one-time option under the heading "One-Time Option (Discontinued)" with the words "This plan is no longer supported. It is available here only for information purpose for those who have purchased it earlier." Its price cells read "Discontinued". A second post, dated 23 January 2021, explains the original difference: on the one-time plan "the Windows version of the software keeps working" without AMC, while on the subscription "If you do not renew the AMC, you cannot use the software".

So the published, purchasable prices on 30 Oct 2026 are subscriptions. If you want a one-time licence, ask MyOPD in writing whether it is still sold and at what price, and keep the answer with the invoice.

What does the Clinic Version include for ₹8,000 a year?

The pricing page lists the trial's feature set and says the Clinic Version adds a receptionist and unlimited patients. The feature list covers prescription printing in regional languages, printing on an existing letterhead, printing with the clinic logo, saving as PDF and sharing on WhatsApp, receipts, family-based accounting, OPD income and expense, appointments, immunisation records, reports, medicine inventory, cloud backup, X-ray and investigation report uploads and a unique patient ID. The Polyclinic plan adds "Multiple OPD Desks under one roof" and "Multiple Doctor logins with separate OPD queues".

Two lines matter for the yearly total. SMS reminders run on SMS credits, and the credit price is not on the pricing page; the 2021 pricing post says 500 SMS or 100 WhatsApp messages are added on purchase or AMC renewal, valid for a year. And the Clinic Version card does not state a computer limit, while Polyclinic and Hospital do, so ask how many desks a Clinic Version licence covers.

Does MyOPD work offline?

MyOPD says yes for its Windows software. Its FAQ page says its products share "fast, reliable software that works even without internet, with automatic cloud backup", and that the software backs up patient data to the MyOPD cloud server "once a day whenever you connect to the internet". Updates need a temporary connection. Which tasks work offline on the Android app is described more narrowly: once synced, patient information can be viewed on the app without a connection.

Vitels is browser-based and keeps the queue, consultation, prescription print and billing working offline, with new patient registration needing a connection. Our guide to offline clinic software lists the ten-minute router-off test to run in any demo.

How does Vitels's price compare with MyOPD?

Both publish a price, which makes this one of the few straight comparisons in Indian clinic software. MyOPD's Clinic Version is ₹8,000 a year including GST for one doctor with reception, and ₹16,000 a year for a polyclinic with multiple doctor logins on up to 3 computers. Core Vitels has no licence fee for one doctor, and Vitels Pro for more than one doctor is ₹999 per clinic per month, no GST charged at present, which is ₹11,988 over twelve months.

The products differ in shape. MyOPD is installed Windows software with a hospital edition that handles IPD; Vitels runs in the browser, is for outpatient clinics only and has no IPD, lab or pharmacy stock. Our MyOPD alternative page sets both out on the same points, and Vitels pricing lists what Pro adds.
