Revitaco vs Person Centred Software (PCS): Complete Comparison

Key Differences Explained

Building Compliance Integration

PCS focuses exclusively on care management and requires separate systems for building compliance. Revitaco integrates fire safety, water safety (Legionella), LOLER equipment checks, and maintenance management into the same platform. This means one login, one dashboard, and complete visibility across both care and building compliance.

Market Position

PCS has the largest market share in UK care home software, which brings advantages like extensive NHS integrations and a large partner ecosystem. Revitaco, as a newer entrant, offers more modern architecture and the flexibility to innovate faster.

Pricing Model

PCS typically uses module-based pricing where eMAR, family portal, and other features may be additional costs. Revitaco offers simple all-inclusive per-bed pricing at £5 per bed per month (£125/month minimum per home), with all features included and no add-ons. This makes budgeting simpler and often provides better value for homes needing full functionality.

Implementation & Support

Both providers offer implementation support and training. PCS has a larger support team given their scale. Revitaco offers personalised onboarding with a dedicated point of contact throughout setup.

Conclusion

Both platforms will help your care home deliver better documentation and maintain CQC compliance. The decision often comes down to:

• Do you need building compliance? If yes, Revitaco eliminates the need for separate systems.
• Do you prefer established vendors? PCS offers the security of market leadership.
• How do you prefer to pay? Revitaco's all-inclusive pricing vs PCS's modular approach.
