Xolotl as an alternative to ByVets / Pegase

What ByVets is

ByVets is owned by the veterinarians who use it, which is not marketing positioning — it changes who the product answers to. Pegase is sold as a flat annual subscription per practice rather than per user, which is unusual in this market and genuinely favourable once your team is large.

It is worth saying clearly: for a ten-vet practice, a flat per-practice price is arithmetic no per-seat supplier beats, ours included.

Where the models diverge

Pegase's recurring price is flat per practice, and its one-time costs are front-loaded: the server version at installation, the migration, the training hours, the third-party contract for online booking. Ours is recurring per veterinarian — 79 EUR solo, 59 EUR from two to five, 39 EUR from six, capped at 390 EUR per site — with nothing at the front, no server to install, and online booking built in rather than contracted out.

For a small or mobile practice, no installation fee, free migration and included training close much of the gap. For a large established practice with the server already paid for, their flat annual price is hard to argue with, and we would rather tell you that here than on a sales call. Their current figures are on ByVets' own price list; ours are on our pricing page, and the worked arithmetic is in what the software really costs.

What is different about Xolotl

• Nothing to install and no one-time server fee
• Migration and training in the price
• Online booking and a client portal in the price — no third-party contract
• Runs in the browser, on the desktop and offline on the phone in the field
• Trilingual per user, which matters on the language border
• Free for new graduates for twelve months

Where ByVets is the better answer

• You have a large team and a flat annual price beats per-veterinarian arithmetic
• You want a cooperative owned by the profession rather than a company
• You already run their server version and the sunk cost is behind you
