Why agencies move off Aaniie
Aaniie. Formerly Smartcare. Is one of the few in this category that publishes a price, which is to its credit. It is a mature US platform with EVV, Medicaid billing and point-of-care records. Whether that is an advantage depends entirely on whether you bill Medicaid.
You are paying for a US healthcare stack
EVV, Medicaid billing and EMR records carry a real cost and are worth nothing to a UK nanny agency or an international care agency that bills families directly.
$195 flat is a lot at one person
A flat price charges the smallest agency the most in proportion. Rostavo charges per office seat, so a one-person agency pays $99 and only pays more when it hires a colleague.
Per-client pricing punishes growth
Aaniie's alternative model is $13 per client per month. At thirty families that is $390. Rostavo does not meter clients at all. Family and client logins are unlimited.
Where Aaniie is the better choice
If you bill Medicaid, Aaniie is the better product and it is not close. EVV compliance and Medicaid claim handling are enormous pieces of work that Rostavo does not attempt. Aaniie also has years of proof, G2 awards and published retention figures behind it. We have neither yet, and pretending otherwise would not help you choose.
What switching actually involves
The reason agencies stay on software they have outgrown is almost never the software. It is the fortnight of retyping they imagine. We do that part.

Moving from Aaniie
How much does Aaniie cost?
Aaniie publishes $195 a month for unlimited logins, or $13 per client per month as an alternative model. Rostavo is $99 a month for the first office seat and $49 for each further one, with unlimited workers, clients and family logins throughout.
Does Rostavo do EVV or Medicaid billing?
No. Rostavo has geofenced GPS check-in that proves attendance and feeds the invoice, but it does not handle EVV aggregator submission or Medicaid claims. If you bill Medicaid, stay with a US healthcare platform.
Is Rostavo suitable for home care?
Yes, for agencies billing families or private clients directly. Visit scheduling, carer matching, GPS check-in, expiry-tracked certificates, invoicing and payouts are all included.
Other Aaniie alternatives
Everything else a Aaniie customer tends to look at, with what each one publishes. Prices checked on 1 November 2026. Two of these are cheaper than us and are listed anyway.
On request
US nanny, sitter and staffing agencies. Deep applicant tracking and a mature payroll story. The pricing page carries no figure.
$199, then $99 per further user
Household, domestic and placement staffing. Publishes its price, sells without a call, and gives 30 days.
$195 up to 15 clients, then $13 per client
Childcare and home care together, with the US regulated-care surface: EVV, point of care and funder billing.
Agency Caregivers
From $100, unlimited seats
Cheaper than us for any office with two or more people. A month with four or more placements bills at $250, so a busy month costs more and the bill is harder to forecast.
Recruit CRM
$95 to $215 per user
A general recruiting ATS and CRM rather than agency software. Texting, LinkedIn and WhatsApp consume credits on top of the seat.
$119 per user, billed annually
A general recruiting ATS with strong automation. No scheduling, visits or invoicing from hours worked.
Sittysites
On request
Childcare services platform covering scheduling and payments. Demo only, no published price.
On request
US home care at scale, quoted by client count. Built for the funder-billing and EVV world we have stayed out of.
$9 to $25 per staff member
Australian NDIS and aged care. Priced per person on your books rather than per office seat, so it climbs as you recruit.
On request
Has repositioned towards healthcare and general staffing. Its nanny page gets effectively no traffic.
Rostavo
$99, then $49 per further office seat
Placements and hourly work in one system, priced per office seat rather than per person on your books. Published price, 14 day trial, no card.
