Overview
Person Centred Software (PCS) is the UK's largest digital care management provider, used by thousands of care homes. Their flagship product, mCare, offers comprehensive care planning, eMAR, and family communication tools.
Revitaco is a modern alternative that combines care management with building compliance features. While newer to market, it addresses gaps many care homes face when using care-only software alongside separate building management systems.

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.
Revitaco is Ideal For
- Care homes wanting care + building compliance together
- Homes frustrated with multiple separate systems
- Mental health and specialist care services
- Groups wanting predictable, all-inclusive pricing

Person Centred Software is Ideal For

- 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.
