BoomCloud™ vs Shop-Ware, side by side
| Shop-Ware | BoomCloud™ | |
|---|---|---|
| Who owns the member relationship | Varies by platform — some route members through a branded network | Your practice. Your brand, your plan, your patient list, exportable any time. |
| Recurring billing & renewals | Included | Included — monthly or annual, auto-renew, dunning, and receipts handled for you |
| Core focus | Shop management and repair orders | Recurring maintenance memberships and MRR |
| Pricing model | Check their current pricing page | Basic $197/mo + $4.50/member/mo; Pro $397/mo + $3.50/member/mo. Member rates and processing are built into membership dues, not added to the office software bill — never total them as a practice cost; see /pricing |
| Who is accountable for enrollment | You are — the software bills whoever signs up | A Success rep owns your member target, with enrollment campaigns and the Patient Marketplace included |
| What happens as you grow | Check how their fee behaves at 300 members before you sign | The per-member portion is built into membership dues, so the program funds its own capacity as it scales |
| Contract and exit | Confirm contract length and what happens to your member list on exit | Month to month, 30-day free trial, no setup fee — and every member leaves with you |

Keep Shop-Ware for operations; BoomCloud runs the subscription side.
Built for your vertical
Add-on ladders and per-staff pricing scale with headcount, not success
Suites price by location, by staff seat or by tier, then add marketing, apps and automation as paid rungs — and the bill rises whether or not membership revenue does. BoomCloud is published flat pricing ($197/mo Basic, $397/mo Pro) with per-member and processing fees built into membership dues — never billed to the practice so the plan funds its own capacity and support. Keep the suite. Add the engine.
One question to ask Shop-Ware
“How much of next month's revenue is already committed?”
