Looking for a CrelioHealth alternative?
CrelioHealth LIS/LIMS is cloud SaaS — hosted in India, 99.9% uptime SLA. Here is what changes if your lab moves to SamLab, what to carry across, and when staying with CrelioHealth is the right call.
Four questions, whichever system you run today
What happens when the connection drops
Any LIS decision starts here. SamLab keeps registration, results, reports and billing running on your own PC; CrelioHealth states its deployment as "Cloud SaaS — hosted in India, 99.9% uptime SLA" — ask what its outage behaviour is for the option you are offered.
How the price is structured
CrelioHealth: From ₹8,000/month + 18% GST, annual contract, plus onboarding fee. SamLab: a one-time licence with an optional yearly AMC, every plan price on the public pricing page. Compare like with like over three years, not one.
Who holds the data at exit
Before you leave any system, get its export in writing. In SamLab the database is a file on your own machine, and the standard backup is a ZIP that restores without a passphrase.
Who answers when something breaks
Ask both vendors whether support is on the phone, in Hindi and English, and included. SamLab support is included in every plan, from Kota.
The rows that move when you switch

| Factor | CrelioHealth | SamLab |
|---|---|---|
| Deployment | Cloud SaaS — hosted in India | Offline-first desktop + cloud sync |
| Works in an internet outage | No offline capability claimed | Yes — billing & reports keep running |
| Pricing model | From ₹8,000/mo + 18% GST, annual contract | One-time licence from ₹2,999 |
| Public, transparent pricing | Yes — published on their India pricing page | Yes — every plan price is on the site |
| Data ownership | On the vendor’s cloud | On your machine first, you can export |
| Free trial on your own data | Demo / sales-led | 7-day free trial, no card |
Three things to do before the first live day
- 1Get an export from your current software — patients, doctors, rate list, outstanding dues — one sheet per master, and check what your contract says about your data.
- 2Pick one cut-off date the whole lab knows: bills before it stay in the old system, bills from it are in SamLab.
- 3Run the 7-day trial on your own exported data first, so the first live day is the second time you see your patients in it.
Stay with CrelioHealth if
your internet is dependable, you would rather rent a hosted platform with an uptime SLA than own a licence, and you need enterprise breadth (patient app, imaging) across a multi-location chain.
Move to SamLab if
outages actually stop your counter, you run a single or growing lab, and a one-time price beats a monthly bill you renew forever.
Before you switch
Is SamLab a CrelioHealth alternative for a small laboratory?
CrelioHealth is a mature cloud LIS/LIMS aimed at multi-location labs and chains, and it publishes its India pricing openly: ₹8,000/month (Standard), ₹15,000 (Advanced) and ₹25,000 (Premium), each excluding 18% GST, on an annual contract, with a one-off onboarding fee of ₹10,000–₹50,000. That fee buys a hosted platform with a 99.9% uptime SLA, and support and updates included. SamLab is the opposite trade: a one-time licence from ₹2,999 that runs offline on your own machine. If your internet is dependable and you would rather someone else ran the servers, CrelioHealth is a reasonable buy. If an outage stops your billing — or a recurring monthly fee does not fit a small lab — SamLab is cheaper and more resilient.
Can I bring my data from CrelioHealth LIS/LIMS into SamLab?
Masters — patients, doctors, rate lists, outstanding balances — come across from an export of your current system. Migration is a hands-on service with a written cut-off date, not a self-serve importer; the migration page says exactly what moves and what does not.
How does SamLab pricing differ from CrelioHealth?
CrelioHealth: From ₹8,000/month + 18% GST, annual contract, plus onboarding fee. SamLab publishes every plan on its pricing page — a one-time licence with an optional yearly AMC — and the 7-day trial needs no card.
