KareShift vs EveryLife PASS

EveryLife's PASS platform charges per service user — the more clients you support, the more you pay. KareShift charges a flat £69–£349/month regardless of how many service users you have. PASS has GP Connect and NHS integration that KareShift doesn't. The right choice depends on whether you need NHS connectivity or predictable costs.

EveryLife's PASS is a well-established UK care management platform with strong NHS integration (GP Connect), DSCR compliance, eMAR, a family portal, and AI-powered care planning features. All features are available on every plan — no tier lock-outs. Pricing is per service user, which means costs scale with your client base. KareShift offers flat-tier pricing (£69–£349/month), Xero Payroll integration, custom forms with conditional logic, and multi-country support — but lacks GP Connect and NHS integration.

Per-service-user vs flat-tier: which works for you?

EveryLife's per-service-user model means costs scale with your client base. If you support many clients with a small team, PASS could cost more than KareShift. If you have a large team serving few clients, per-service-user pricing might be cheaper. Without published pricing, you'll need to contact EveryLife for an accurate comparison.

When to stay with EveryLife PASS

🏥

You need GP Connect

PASS integrates with GP Connect to pull patient data directly from NHS GP records into your care system. If your service model relies on NHS data connectivity, this is a genuine requirement that KareShift doesn't meet today.

📋

DSCR certification matters

If your commissioners or Local Authority contracts require DSCR-certified software, PASS has this certification. Check whether your specific contracts mandate DSCR compliance before deciding.

👨‍👩‍👧

Family portal is essential

PASS includes a family portal where relatives receive updates on care delivered. If family visibility is a core selling point for your agency, PASS has this built in today.

Frequently asked questions

No. KareShift does not currently integrate with GP Connect or NHS systems. If your service model requires pulling GP data into care records, EveryLife PASS is a better fit for that specific need. KareShift focuses on operational tools — rostering, eMAR, custom forms, payroll integration — rather than NHS connectivity.

EveryLife charges per service user — the more clients you support, the higher the bill. KareShift charges per worker tier — £69/mo for up to 5 carers, £149/mo for up to 20, £349/mo for 50+. If you support many service users with a small team, flat pricing saves more. If you have few service users but many workers, per-service-user might be cheaper. Contact EveryLife for their current per-service-user rates to compare directly.

KareShift is not publicly certified as DSCR compliant as of Aug 2026. EveryLife PASS is DSCR certified. If your Local Authority contracts require DSCR-certified software, verify your specific requirements before switching. KareShift supports CQC compliance tracking with KLOE evidence mapping.

Both platforms offer eMAR for medication management. KareShift's eMAR includes medication orders, administration rounds, PRN protocols, controlled drug tracking, MAR charts, allergy alerts, and error reporting. EveryLife's eMAR is described as built-in medication management on their website. For a detailed feature comparison, contact EveryLife for a demo alongside KareShift's 90-day trial.
