Artera (formerly WELL Health) is a powerful enterprise tool designed for massive health systems, but for most practices, it represents an "over-engineered" solution with high entry costs. Curogram provides the same AI-driven engagement and "deep-sync" EHR integration but is optimized for speed, ease of use, and a faster return on investment—without requiring annual financing for your subscription.

🏆Winner: Curogram
When is Artera the right choice?
Artera is a formidable solution for massive Integrated Delivery Networks (IDNs) or federal agencies that manage hundreds of locations and millions of patients. If your organization requires a highly specialized "orchestration" layer to manage dozens of disparate communication vendors across an entire hospital system, Artera’s enterprise-grade AI agents are built for that level of extreme scale.
Why Curogram is the Best TeleVox Alternative
Reason #1: Full Practice Automation vs. Simple Messaging
Artera is a "Point Solution" archetype—while they excel at messaging "orchestration," they often lack the native, built-in clinical tools that a practice needs to actually function. Curogram isn't just a messaging app; it’s a virtual clinic. We include native HIPAA-compliant telemedicine, digital intake forms, and automated reputation management as part of the core platform, rather than treating them as disconnected modules or third-party integrations.
Reason #2: All-Inclusive Value vs. The "Financing" Trap
Enterprise software like Artera often comes with a "Big Tech" price tag, sometimes requiring practices to use third-party financing (like Capchase) just to manage the annual contract costs. Curogram believes in a simpler ROI. We offer an all-in-one platform with flexible terms that fit the cash flow of a growing medical practice. You get the same "Best in KLAS" level of communication without the enterprise-level debt.
While Artera markets itself as "EHR-First," their setup can take 4–6 weeks (or longer) for full implementation. Curogram’s patented integration is designed for rapid deployment. We don't just "sync" data; we read and write directly to your EHR schedule and patient charts in real-time. This eliminates the "double-work" for your staff—if a patient updates their info in a Curogram form, it's reflected in your EHR immediately, not at the next "batch upload."
Yes. Both Curogram and Artera are SOC 2 Type 2 certified and fully HIPAA-compliant. Curogram provides the same enterprise-grade security but in a package designed for clinical efficiency.
Most practices can go live on Curogram in under 48 hours, whereas enterprise platforms often involve lengthy discovery and implementation phases lasting several weeks
Absolutely. Curogram specializes in 2-way texting from your existing practice phone number, ensuring high patient response rates and reducing phone tag by up to 50%.
We take data security as seriously as you do. Curogram is built to meet the highest standards of compliance, ensuring your patient data is protected while delivering a 5-star experience.
Don't get locked into an enterprise contract for a point solution. Get the deep EHR integration and full-practice automation you actually need to grow.
