How Do They Compare?

Brevity is an affordable and user-friendly option that’s been built with providers in mind. With both Apple and Android apps, you and your team will be able to use it on the go. While Brevity charges per client, ShiftCare charges per staff (user), which typically leads to a lower overall cost assuming you have more clients than staff members.
ShiftCare’s web and mobile apps, meanwhile, stand out for their wide range of NDIS-specific features, easy setup and collaborative approach to provider, client, and family involvement. The company has an excellent customer support team with a 98% satisfaction rating. You’ll also have access to a dedicated help section, online webinars and onboarding videos, as well as a dedicated account manager.

Request a demoAny questions?
Is Brevity priced per client or per staff member?
Brevity generally prices its software by the number of clients, while ShiftCare prices plans by staff users and allows unlimited clients. This means the cheaper option can change as your business grows. Work out the cost using your current numbers, then repeat the calculation using your expected growth.
Can Brevity be used for NDIS plan management?
Yes, Brevity offers a dedicated plan management option. It can receive supplier invoices, extract invoice details, check them against participant budgets and NDIS pricing, and prepare them for approval and claiming. If plan management is central to your business, compare these workflows carefully because ShiftCare is not primarily a plan management platform.
Does Brevity support the Support at Home program?
Yes, Brevity offers tools for providers delivering services under Support at Home. These include client budget tracking, service records, claiming, contributions and statements. ShiftCare also supports Australian aged care providers, so check how each platform handles your specific services, reporting needs and existing financial processes.
Can Brevity manage SIL and group rosters?
Yes, Brevity’s Business plan includes SIL and group rostering tools. This can help providers schedule multiple workers and clients across shared services or supported accommodation. Before choosing a plan, test your more complicated rosters, including sleepovers, broken shifts, travel and last-minute staff changes, to make sure they work properly.
What accounting software connects with Brevity?
Brevity lists integrations with Xero, MYOB and QuickBooks for accounting tasks. ShiftCare also connects with several accounting and payroll platforms, but the available workflow may differ between integrations. Check exactly what information is transferred, whether data moves both ways and which plan includes the connection you need.
Is Brevity suitable for a growing NDIS provider?
Brevity can support growing providers, but its per-client pricing means costs may rise as participant numbers increase. ShiftCare’s per-staff model may work differently as your client-to-worker ratio changes. Compare both platforms using your likely participant, employee and service numbers over the next one to three years.
What should I move when switching from Brevity to ShiftCare?
Move the records your team still needs, including client profiles, staff details, rosters, care plans, progress notes, documents, service agreements and billing history. First check what can be exported and imported. Try a small batch, make sure the information appears correctly and keep a secure backup of the original data.
