AVImark Pricing 2026

AVImark pricing is not publicly disclosed for 2026. Historical pricing showed a $7,400 startup package including software, support, backup, and training. Current pricing requires contacting Covetrus directly. AVImark uses a purchase model rather than monthly subscriptions.

No, AVImark does not charge per-seat license fees. Practices can install the software on multiple workstations and add users as they grow without paying additional licensing costs per seat.

AVImark is traditionally an on-premise solution installed on practice computers. This gives practices direct control over their data but requires local IT infrastructure and maintenance.

Yes, AVImark offers a free trial that does not require a credit card. This allows practices to evaluate the software before purchasing.

The AVImark startup package historically included the software license, one year of technical support, data backup tools, and initial training. Contact Covetrus for current 2026 package details and pricing.

User opinions vary. Some appreciate the no per-seat fees and comprehensive features, finding it good value. Others report it can be expensive with storage costs, support fees, and additional training charges. The purchase model may offer better long-term value than subscriptions for practices planning to use it for many years.

Yes, AVImark is widely regarded as one of the most user-friendly veterinary practice management systems. Multiple users report that staff with zero veterinary experience can learn AVImark quickly, and it's easy to teach to new employees. The interface is intuitive with shortcut keys that make common tasks faster. One user stated it's 'the easiest program to learn' compared to other veterinary software options.

The primary limitations include: inadequate inventory control (no alerts when counts go into negatives, inaccurate multi-site tracking), limited integration with third-party credit card processors (which can result in higher payment processing fees), slow loading times for routine tasks, occasional email sending failures, and time-consuming variance reconciliation. However, many practices find these limitations acceptable given the system's ease of use and lower upfront cost compared to subscription-based alternatives.

AVImark is not a monthly subscription, which means upfront costs may be lower than cloud-based competitors like Cornerstone, eVetPractice, or Neo. However, you'll need to factor in additional costs such as credit card processing fees (one practice saved $40K annually by switching from AVImark's default WorldPay integration), staff training time during migration, and ongoing support costs. The 'With Support Plan' tier provides enhanced customer service, which users describe as 'amazing' and 'very helpful.'

This depends on your practice's specific needs. AVImark excels at ease of use, customization, scheduling, and charting—users describe it as having 'the best flow, interface, and customization options.' However, cloud-based systems like Neo or Pulse may offer better remote access, automatic updates, and modern integrations. Be cautious: multiple practices report that switching away from AVImark involves 'a HUGE headache,' with one practice taking almost a year to work out all the kinks after migration. Evaluate whether the benefits of a cloud system outweigh the substantial migration costs and workflow disruption.
