CareSmartz360 is US-headquartered with Canadian clients. Their platform is built primarily for US home care (Medicaid, EVV compliance) with Canadian support. KareShift is Australian-built with dedicated Canadian compliance, pricing in CAD, and province-specific features.
Canada does not have a federal EVV mandate like the US. KareShift provides GPS clock-in/out with geofencing for visit verification — this meets Canadian provincial requirements. CareSmartz360's EVV is primarily designed for US state Medicaid compliance.
At 20 clients, CareSmartz360 would cost ~US$200/mo (~C$270). KareShift Growth is C$99/mo for up to 20 workers. Different pricing models — CareSmartz360 counts clients, KareShift counts workers. If you have fewer workers than clients (common in 1:1 disability), KareShift is significantly cheaper.
90 days free. eMAR, Xero Payroll, Canadian compliance across 9 provinces. No credit card.
