Here’s how OpenClinica differentiates on patient recruitment, pricing transparency, and proven data quality outcomes.
Precision-targeted digital advertising and multi-channel outbound campaigns actively reach qualified participants at 3-5x lower cost per conversion—not just portal tools.
Modular pricing means you pay only for what you need, with no hidden fees or surprise upcharges.
OpenClinica's EHR integration operates across 450+ clinical trial sites within major health systems—proven network infrastructure, not just technical capability.
Real-time edit checks and automated validations deliver results: customers report 50% fewer data queries compared to their previous systems.
Every client gets a dedicated Customer Success Manager and 24/5 support from people who've actually worked in clinical research.
10,000+ studies across 100+ countries, with continuous improvements driven by customer feedback since 2006.
Castor offers study enrollment portals and pre-screening tools—customizable web portals where participants can browse trials, express interest, and complete pre-screening questionnaires. This is portal-based recruitment: you build it and qualified participants come to you.
OpenClinica Recruit uses precision-targeted digital advertising (social media, search engines, multi-channel campaigns) with smart pre-screening to actively reach qualified participants wherever they are—even if they’re not actively searching for trials. Qualified leads flow directly into your EDC with full HIPAA/GDPR compliance.
Bottom line: If you want to actively find participants through outbound marketing rather than waiting for them to discover your portal, OpenClinica’s approach delivers 3-5x lower cost per conversion with end-to-end integration.
OpenClinica: Transparent, modular pricing based on your study volume and which solutions you need (EDC, eConsent, eCOA, Randomization, etc.). You see exactly what you’re paying for upfront—no hidden fees or surprise change orders. Flexible packages align with grant cycles and study volumes.
Castor: Pricing varies by region and package configuration.
Bottom line: If budget predictability and transparent pricing matter to your procurement process, OpenClinica’s modular approach removes uncertainty.
Every OpenClinica client gets a Customer Success Manager, 24/5 application support from people who’ve worked in clinical research, on-demand training via our Learning Management System, and Professional Services available for hands-on study build support (optional).
