Cloud Aged Care's standout feature is care minutes tracking built directly into the roster view. If seeing care minutes compliance in real-time while building shifts is critical to your workflow, this integration is a genuine advantage.
If your facility primarily needs a roster tool with care minutes compliance and you already have separate systems for clinical care and medication management, Cloud Aged Care's focused approach may be all you need.
Cloud Aged Care is built exclusively for Australian residential aged care. If you prefer a vendor whose entire focus is your specific market rather than a multi-country platform, that specialisation has value.
KareShift calculates care minutes automatically on a daily basis with RN vs total distinction, weekly reports, and 200-minute threshold alerts. Cloud Aged Care integrates care minutes directly into the roster building view — showing compliance in real-time as you assign shifts. Both track care minutes; the difference is where in the workflow you see the data.
Cloud Aged Care does not publish pricing on their website as of Aug 2026. You need to contact their sales team for a quote. KareShift publishes all pricing on the website: A$249/month for 30 beds, with A$7–9 per additional bed above 30. Unlimited workers on all plans.
Yes. KareShift's per-bed pricing scales to any facility size — 30 beds included at A$249/mo, then A$7–9 per additional bed. A 100-bed facility costs approximately A$739–879/mo. Unlimited workers are included at every level.
90 days free. All features. No enterprise sales process.
