Practo Ray is a widely used clinic platform, and it does a lot well. Some clinics still look for an alternative — usually because they want patient data kept in India, a single system that covers appointments through pharmacy, ABDM/ABHA built in rather than bolted on, and pricing that doesn't move with the number of users. This page lays those differences out plainly, so you can decide on facts rather than a sales pitch. We're upfront that this is our page: the Lucoze column is what we build, and the Practo Ray column reflects public documentation, which you should verify.

What we built differently.
Every record in Indian data centres
Lucoze hosts all patient data in India under DPDP 2023, with full CSV/PDF export on request and no lock-in — the data is always yours to take.
One platform, not modules stitched together
Appointments, patient records, GST billing, lab and pharmacy run on a single system, so the front desk isn't switching between tools mid-shift.
ABDM and ABHA, built in
Create and verify ABHA-linked records at the first visit using the published NHA APIs — HPR and HFR included, not a future roadmap item.
Pricing that doesn't move with your team
Flat per-clinic monthly plans from ₹1,499, so adding a doctor or a receptionist doesn't change the bill.
A Hindi-ready front desk
Multilingual patient search (Hindi, Bengali, Devanagari and Latin) works today, and the interface is rolling out in Hindi first (Q3 2026), then Bengali and Odia.
Built for India, honest about support
Our team is in Konnagar, West Bengal. On-site setup in and around Kolkata; remote-first onboarding, migration help and WhatsApp support everywhere else — we won't over-promise on distance.
Switching from Practo Ray — what teams ask.
Is Lucoze a good alternative to Practo Ray?
It depends on what matters to your clinic. If India data residency, a single platform covering appointments through pharmacy, native ABDM/ABHA, and flat per-clinic pricing are priorities, Lucoze is built around exactly those. The best way to judge is a 14-day free trial with your own workflow — no credit card required.
How hard is it to migrate from Practo Ray to Lucoze?
We've built importers for the common Practo Ray exports — appointments and patient lists come across directly, and we map clinical notes with you for the first set of patients so you can see the migration working before trusting it. Most clinics are fully migrated in 10–14 days, parallel-running until everyone is ready to switch.
How does Lucoze's pricing compare?
Lucoze uses flat per-clinic monthly pricing (from ₹1,499/month) that doesn't change with the number of users, plus a 14-day free trial. Practo Ray's current pricing is best confirmed directly with the vendor, as plans and add-ons change over time.
