How Corella compares, on the patterns.
Most Australian providers run one of two products today: a per-user rostering platform with the serious features on its top tier, or a billing-first plan-management tool that never sees the roster. We don’t name names on this page — products change weekly and deserve their own voice. We’ll happily go feature-for-feature against your exact stack, by name, on a walkthrough.
Patterns verified against public materials, July 2026
| Capability |  CorellaEverything included | The usual rostering platform | The billing-first platform |
|---|---|---|---|
| What it runs | Included: The whole operation Delivery, care, compliance, billing, payroll exports and HR — plus plan-management and coordination lanes | Partial or gated: Delivery-focused Rostering and care delivery; HR and deeper compliance usually mean a second product | Partial or gated: Claims-focused Claims and provider invoices; rostering and care records aren't its job |
| Safety-critical features | Included: In the base product Incidents, care plans, funds, forms and risk — no tiers exist to gate them | Partial or gated: Top tier only Commonly gated to the priciest per-user tier | Not offered: Mostly out of scope |
| Travel & mileage | Included: Claimed at clock-off Carer claims kilometres and travel minutes together; paid automatically as a travel payroll line | Partial or gated: Hand-edited A common pattern: kilometres logged before clock-on, on a paid tier, no worker travel-time field — admins fix timesheets by hand | Not applicable |
| Client budgets | Included: Live utilisation Support-category allocations with bars that move as shifts deliver | Partial or gated: A single total Often one funds figure per client | Included: Genuinely strong Budget validation is the product's core — credit where due |
| Policy read-and-acknowledge | Included: Built in Publish, require acknowledgement, see the x-of-y matrix | Not offered: Rarely offered | Not offered: Not offered |
| NDIA claiming | Included: 16-column bulk CSV Generated exactly, uploaded by you — we don't claim a direct API we don't have | Included: Comparable Bulk CSV as well | Included: Often stronger Some claim directly through the portal API at a per-participant fee — genuine credit to them |
| Participant / family portal | Included: Included For every provider, no add-on | Partial or gated: Paid add-on, typically | Partial or gated: Included, varies Usually there; quality varies with age |
| Getting your data out | Included: Export any time CSV reports self-service; complete export whenever you ask | Partial or gated: Reports only, often | Partial or gated: On request Often through support |
| A system of your own | Included: Your own instance Own database, own subdomain, your branding — isolation is the architecture | Not offered: Shared multi-tenant Per-user seats in a communal platform | Not offered: Shared multi-tenant |
| Pricing shape | $19/user/month, all-in AUD ex GST · everything included · $149/month minimum | Tiered per-user Roughly $9–$25/user/month; seat minimums common | Per participant or bespoke |

Where the incumbents are genuinely strong
Fair is fair: the big rostering platforms have large installed bases, ship updates weekly, and some sync timesheets straight into Xero. The billing-first tools have claiming engines refined over years, and some claim directly through the portal API — which Corella doesn’t. If a big-vendor footprint or API claiming today matters more to you than owning your own instance with everything included, those are honest reasons to choose them. Our case is the provider who wants the whole operation in one system they own.
