LabSmart › PathLab
Software free — you pay only for hosting
Most pathology lab software charges a monthly license fee on top of hosting, support, and every "extra" feature you actually need — WhatsApp report delivery, multi-branch access, corporate billing. PathLab is different: the software itself is free. You pay a flat $20/month for your own private hosting, and that's it. No per-user fees, no feature paywalls, no annual contracts.
admin / admin123 — no sales call required
Register patients in seconds, apply discounts, generate bills, and track daily collections — without juggling spreadsheets or paper registers.
Enter results against pre-set reference ranges by age and gender. Abnormal values are flagged automatically, so nothing slips through before a report goes out.
Every report passes through pathologist review and e-sign before release — the pathologist doesn't need to be physically in the lab to approve it.
Send finished reports directly to patients and referring doctors as branded PDFs — no separate app, no patient portal login required. Reports reach people where they already are.
Run more than one lab location from a single system, and manage corporate/insurance client billing separately from walk-in patients.
Maintain your own test catalogue with prices and parameters, pull up any patient's history instantly, and keep automated backups of everything.

Most systems are judged in their first month on one question: how much can you change yourself, without raising a support ticket? Here the answer is all of it — your tests, your prices, your report layout, your billing arrangements.
Two details that matter more than they sound: the daily sales report can be emailed to you automatically every morning, so you read yesterday's numbers without opening the system; and each branch can be backed up and restored independently, which is what you want the day a branch PC fails.
No sales call required. Open the live demo, log in, and use the real product.
