CHF 490 or 30 Percent: The Pricing Model Behind Our Medical Education Software

Most continuing education platforms charge a license fee before it's even clear whether the offering gets adopted at all. doclift flips that around.

The model in two sentences

If your CME Academy generates no revenue, you pay a flat fee of CHF 490 per month – covering hosting, security, maintenance and support. If your academy generates revenue, the flat fee disappears and doclift takes 30% of that revenue.

In short: the more successful the academy, the lower the financial risk.

Three examples

• No revenue yet: Revenue CHF 0 → your cost CHF 490 / month
• Growing academy: Revenue CHF 2,500 → flat fee disappears, doclift's share CHF 750 → you keep CHF 1,750
• Established academy: Revenue CHF 10,000 → flat fee disappears, doclift's share CHF 3,000 → you keep CHF 7,000

Why the model makes sense

No large upfront investment before demand is proven. At low revenue, costs stay predictable; at high revenue, the platform pays for itself. Hosting, maintenance, security updates and backups are all included – this is fully managed medical education software, not a package you have to run yourself.

The honest downside

30% isn't a small cut. Anyone already running a high-revenue academy might do better on a flat license. The model is built for getting started, not for the long-term steady state – and that's exactly why it's fair.

Conclusion

The model shifts risk to where it can actually be carried. How to generate revenue in the first place is covered in Hospital education management; the technical foundation is your own container.
