Yes. MedKyo is built specifically for solo doctors and small clinics in Tier 2/3 Indian cities — the segment that Practo Ray often over-serves with features and under-serves with offline support. If you need a simpler, more affordable, offline-capable clinic management tool, MedKyo is a strong alternative.
Can I migrate my data from Practo to MedKyo?
Yes. We offer a migration tool that helps you import patient records and clinic data from Practo. Contact us at admin@medkyo.com for migration assistance.
What does MedKyo have that Practo doesn't?
MedKyo's key advantages: (1) Full offline mode, (2) WhatsApp-native patient communication, (3) AI prescriptions in 30 seconds, (4) Rs 999/month vs Rs 4,000+/month, (5) Setup in under 5 minutes.
What does Practo have that MedKyo doesn't?
Practo has a larger patient discovery marketplace (Practo.com), a more established brand in metro cities, and features for larger multi-specialty hospitals. If you're a large clinic in a metro city looking for patient discovery, Practo may be a better fit.
