The Best Software for UK Vets in 2026: Two Vendors Publish Prices, Six Do Not

Last Updated on September 17, 2026

Veterinary practices have spent two years being told to publish their prices, with the CMA capping prescription fees and pushing transparency across the sector. The software those practices run on is priced almost entirely behind demo calls.

The mistake is accepting from your suppliers what the regulator will not accept from you. A practice that must publish a prescription fee can reasonably ask its practice management vendor to publish a licence fee.

The two that publish

That gives a one-vet practice a real, published anchor: £99 a month for a cloud PMS at Provet’s Core rate, with the platform fee covering the first vet. Whatever you end up buying, that is the number the unpriced quotes have to justify themselves against.

The six that do not

How to buy, in order

Start: total what you pay now, per month, including support fees and modules. Migration pain is real, but it negotiates better when you know your own number.

Build: put the published options on the table first. Even if you do not buy them, £99 a month published is your negotiating floor, and Vetstoria’s per-location booking prices benchmark that whole category.

Scale: for the unpriced incumbents, a figure in writing before the demo, in pounds, with VAT and exit terms. A vendor selling to a sector under a price transparency regulator should manage a price in an email.

The takeaway: the veterinary sector is being made to publish its prices. Its software suppliers mostly have not. Use the two that do as your yardstick.

Common questions

Which UK vet software vendors publish their prices?

Of eight vendors Whito checked at source in September 2026, two publish full UK prices: Provet Cloud (£99 a month platform fee that includes the first vet, then £99 per additional vet on Core) and Vetstoria (£199 to £399 a location a month for online booking, excluding sales taxes). VetIT, Teleos, Animana, VetZ and Shepherd publish no prices, and ezyVet’s UK pricing page quotes dollars.

What does Provet Cloud cost a small practice?

At its published UK rates, a one-vet practice starts at £99 a month on Core, because the platform fee includes the first vet. Each additional vet is £99 a month on Core or £119 on Pro with a £159 platform fee. Non-vet staff are free and the clinical AI add-on is £30 a seat. No VAT statement on the page.

Why does ezyVet show dollars on its UK page?

Whito cannot say why, only that on 2 September 2026 its UK pricing page said you can get started for as little as $260.50 per month, with no pound figure, no VAT statement and no per-unit breakdown. Ask for a sterling quote in writing with VAT before comparing it against the published UK options.

How should a practice compare the unpriced systems?

The same way as any unpriced contract: figure in writing before the demo, including VAT, per vet or per site stated, contract length and exit terms. The CMA’s attention to the veterinary market has been on price transparency for consumers; apply the same standard to your suppliers.
