PharmacyLive software fees vs drug fees

What do clinics pay for PharmacyLive vs compounded drugs?

Clinics do not pay PharmacyLive software fees. PharmacyLive quotes compounding pharmacies for the white-label prescriber portal, PioneerRx integration support, and CRM tools. Clinics pay their compounder for compounded medications through the pharmacy's branded portal, and those invoices may bundle drug cost, shipping, and handling into lines the pharmacy defines. Separating software from drug economics matters because only the drug and fulfillment lines belong on your clinic P&L.

This page separates who pays PharmacyLive for software, what clinics actually owe their compounder, and how Fizy Health names its facilitation fee separately from pass-through drug cost.

How software fees and drug fees split in the PharmacyLive stack

PharmacyLive is B2B software sold to compounding pharmacies through a quote process on pharmacylive.com. That software fee is a pharmacy operating expense, similar to a website or marketing retainer from the same vendor. Clinics interact with the output: a branded prescriber portal where the pharmacy lists compound prices. What clinics pay is entirely between them and the pharmacy, and it may appear as per-vial catalog prices, per-order shipping, or separate processing lines depending on how that pharmacy configured billing.

What to itemize on the clinic side

Ask your compounder to separate three numbers in writing: raw per-vial compounding cost for your top SKUs, shipping and cold-chain per shipment, and any processing or account fees passed through to your clinic. Some pharmacies embed logistics in the drug line; others invoice separately. Without itemization, you cannot tell whether a portal price moved because compounder input cost changed or because the pharmacy adjusted margin.

Remember PharmacyLive's CRM and analytics serve the pharmacy's sales team, not your clinic finance team. Volume dashboards help your compounder grow prescriber accounts. They do not automatically give you a software-versus-drug fee breakdown on your invoices.

How Fizy Health separates platform and drug economics

Fizy Health is sold to clinics. There is $0/mo plus pass-through pricing and 9% facilitation, and resolved per-vial 503A drug cost appears on each catalog and cart line before checkout. A facilitation fee is disclosed at payment, separate from drug COGS. Clinics see both components before they quote patients or submit orders.

That structure makes total cost of ownership math straightforward: drug pass-through plus named platform fee plus shipping shown on the line where applicable. You are not inferring software economics buried inside a pharmacy-configured portal price.

PharmacyLive fits if

PharmacyLive

Your compounder's portal billing is clear enough without a separate clinic platform fee.

  • You only order from one compounding pharmacy and they itemize drug vs fulfillment on request.
  • You do not pay a clinic-side software subscription because your pharmacy owns the portal.
  • You are fine reconciling COGS from pharmacy invoices rather than a buyer-side checkout layer.

  • You batch orders across multiple 503A partners in one clinic cart with per-line economics.
  • You want pass-through drug pricing without a monthly SaaS gate to see your formulary.
