What is AfterHours Ally?

AfterHours Ally is a clinic-branded, browser-based after-hours triage console for independent veterinary practices with 3–10 DVMs on rotating on-call. It runs owners through board-reviewed protocols, classifies urgency, and only pages the on-call DVM when criteria are met.

How much does AfterHours Ally cost?

AfterHours Ally offers three plans: Starter at $149/month, Standard at $299/month, and Plus at $449/month. Each plan includes a 30-day free trial.

Does AfterHours Ally require PMS integration?

No. AfterHours Ally is a standalone browser-based tool with no PMS integration required. It works alongside any practice management system.

Why Transparent Pricing?

Every other after-hours or vet communications platform hides pricing behind a sales call. PetDesk, WhiskerCloud, and Weave all require demos and quotes — starting at $350+/month for features that don't include a triage protocol engine. AfterHours Ally is built for independent practices that can't spare 3 weeks for an enterprise sales cycle.

Common Questions

What counts as a triage interaction?

One interaction = one complete session: from the owner entering symptoms through to a triage result (urgency + guidance). Incomplete sessions don't count.

Can I add more DVMs than my plan allows?

You'll be prompted to upgrade when you hit your DVM limit. On-call slots beyond the limit are blocked, not silently dropped.

Is there a setup fee?

No setup fee on any plan. Starter and Standard are fully self-serve. Plus includes an onboarding call at no extra charge.

What happens when I hit my interaction limit?

Triage is blocked for new sessions until the next billing cycle or you upgrade. Existing sessions already in progress complete normally.

Do you integrate with our PMS?

No PMS integration is required or assumed. AfterHours Ally stands alone — that's by design so you can go live in under a week.
