Three ways to pay Raven
Raven publishes three plans, each with no client minimum and offline data capture:
- Standalone software, $29 per learner a month on an annual commitment, plus a $500 implementation fee. Raven pitches it at small practices with no billing needs.
- Premium All-in-One, 5% of monthly claims paid, month-to-month, with no software fee and the implementation fee currently waived. Raven bills on your behalf.
- Self-Billing, priced on request, for practices with an experienced in-house biller. It generates claims from session notes and scheduling data and submits them.
MegAligna has no equivalent of the second plan: nobody here bills for you, and no percentage of collections is taken because collections never pass through this system. Its job is to hand the biller you already have complete, clean charge data: per-session CSV with per-payer NPI and modifier configuration, plus superbill and CMS-1500 data.
What the 5% plan costs as collections grow
The 5% plan costs nothing up front, which is why Raven recommends it to startups. It scales with collections rather than with headcount, so a growing agency pays more each month for the same software as its billing grows. A per-learner bill has the opposite trigger: it rises with every admitted client. Per-seat pricing moves only when the clinical team does, and an outside biller’s login is free.
Three agency shapes against both of Raven’s published plans. The 5% column depends on monthly collections, so they are stated:
| Agency | Learners | Clinical staff | Monthly collections | Raven $29/learner | Raven 5% | MegAligna |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starting out | 6 | 3 | $18,000 | $174 | $900 | $99 |
| Balanced caseload | 45 | 30 | $150,000 | $1,305 | $7,500 | $600 |
| Staff-heavy | 10 | 25 | $60,000 | $290 | $3,000 | $500 |
The $29 column leaves out the $500 implementation fee; spread over the one-year commitment it adds about $42 a month in year one.
The 5% plan is never cheapest at these volumes, but it is the only column that includes a billing service. If it would replace a biller you pay today, compare 5% against that person’s cost, not against software.
The staff-heavy row goes to Raven’s $29 plan, $290 against $500, and will for any agency carrying far more clinicians than learners.
Raven against MegAligna, line by line
Raven's column comes from its pricing and self-billing pages, checked October 14, 2026 (sources at the end of this page). Rows where Raven is ahead are included.
| MegAligna | Raven Health per learner or 5% | |
|---|---|---|
| Data capture with no connection at all, from a cold start 1 | No | Yes |
| Billing done for you as a service | No | Yes |
| Claims generated and submitted from the product 3 | No | Yes |
| Remaining authorization units checked at booking 4 | Yes | Ask the vendor |
| Learners free, priced per active staff seat | Yes | No |
| Prices shown on the vendor website | Yes | Partial |
- 1 Raven lists offline capture on every plan. Capture in MegAligna survives a dropped connection within a working day whose roster loaded online, which is narrower.
- 3 On Raven's Self-Billing plan. Here, claim data is exported for your biller to submit.
- 4 Raven says it connects authorizations, session tracking and billing in one workflow, but does not describe a check at booking.
If it gets as far as a migration plan, switching from Raven Health covers what the importer accepts, what happens to an authorization mid-period, and the order to cut over in.
Common questions
We use Raven with our own biller today. What changes?
Our technicians work in homes with no signal. Is that a problem?
Do authorizations restart if we switch mid-period?
Hand a test session to a biller seat and look at the export
