Pricing
Free for patients. Free for providers.
There is no per-seat license, no per-provider fee, no per-encounter charge. Patients use the app, the vault, the wallet, the social layer, the pharmacy, and the network for nothing. Clinics run the EHR and the AI scribe and the orders engine for nothing too — they just bring the hardware that runs their own node.
For patients
$0 / month. Forever.
Guardian Orb™. CH-score tracking. Family graph. Records vault. HCR earnings. HCC research participation. Pharmacy access. Account recovery. None of it has a price tag, and none of it ever will.
We make our money from exchange fees, settlement margin, and research — never from patients. Bound in the corporate charter.
For clinics
$0 / provider / month.
The EHR — AI scribe, imaging viewer, orders engine, inbox, scheduling, billing, full Master Equation integration — is free for every U.S.-licensed clinical practice. No per-seat license, no implementation fee, no support tier you have to buy into. Solo NP, twelve-provider group, hospital floor: same software, same price, no caps.
What a practice provides is the infrastructure the system runs on: three on-premises compute nodes (clinical workstation, AI inference, chain validator) and one local storage cluster for the patient vault and imaging cache. We publish the reference build — commodity hardware — and we ship the install media. The clinic owns the boxes, the clinic owns the data, the clinic runs its own node.
Running that node turns the practice into a Network Clinic: every block your validator signs earns HCR, every patient encounter that flows through your storage contributes to research and earns HCR, every cohort the network runs against your de-identified data earns HCR. The clinic keeps it. There is nothing to offset because there is no bill — the rewards are pure upside on hardware you already own.
For exchange & chain
Published tiers. No hidden spread.
hc.exchange charges a maker/taker fee that scales by 30-day volume. Conceptual Chain charges a small per-transaction fee paid in HCR; the fee is burned, not pocketed. Virtual cards for HCR redemption are free at standard tier and have no foreign-transaction fee at gold tier.
