A solo practice rents a stack — EHR, an AI scribe, a clearinghouse, intake, secure messaging, a directory listing, e-prescribing — and pays for it every month whether the schedule is full or empty. Add up yours, then see it against a model that charges nothing until a claim actually pays.

$4,487/yr
flat software fees
+ $4,176/yr card processing (~2.9%)
On Gale
$0 flat software
no subscription, no setup, no per-seat fee
You pay the cost of billing + 15% only on claims that actually pay — usage-based, never a flat fee.
You stop paying $4,487 a year in flat software fees — whether you collect $144,000 or nothing.
Illustrative scenario, not a quote — your actual costs vary by tools, volume, and payer mix. Incumbent prices are list prices as of 2026 (SimplePractice pricing, Freed pricing, Office Ally, IntakeQ, Spruce, Psychology Today, DrFirst); card processing applies on any platform. Gale is pre-commercial (synthetic demonstration); its fee is the cost of billing plus 15% on paid claims. Nothing you type here leaves your browser.
How Gale's model works
Gale is the practice OS — charting, the ambient scribe, billing and RCM, telehealth, and a tracked credentialing pipeline — for no monthly fee. It earns the cost of billing plus 15% on claims that pay, and funds settle to the provider directly. The bet is simple: software that only costs money when it makes you money.

Common questions
The software carries no subscription, setup, or per-seat fee. Gale earns the cost of billing plus 15%, charged only on claims that actually pay — a percentage-of-collections model, applied to Gale's billing cost. If nothing collects, nothing is owed.
They are public list prices as of 2026, cited on the page. Vendors change pricing; treat the figures as an illustrative scenario, not a quote, and confirm current prices with each vendor.
No. The calculation runs entirely in your browser. Nothing you type is transmitted, logged, or shared — consistent with Gale's no-tracking-on-health-surfaces rule.
