Cerbo vs Practice Better (2026): EHR for Functional and Integrative Practices
Reviewed by Dr. Ryan Goss, DC
Quick answer
Practice Better costs less to start: $35 to $155 per month billed monthly, no contracts and a free trial. Cerbo is priced per user ($256/mo for a full-time non-prescribing provider, $127/mo for a supporting provider such as a DC) plus a $1,195 one-time setup, and adds e-prescribing and lab integrations. Neither bills insurance natively in the way a chiropractic EHR does.
